D-Date (stylized as D☆DATE) was a Japanese boy band and sub-group of D-Boys, a male performance troupe associated with Watanabe Entertainment. The group was created to celebrate Watanabe Entertainment's 10th anniversary. The members consist of Kōji Seto, Hirofumi Araki, and Arata Horii [ja]. Previous members of D-Date include Yuichi Nakamura, Shunji Igarashi, and Tomo Yanagishita.

D-Date made their debut on December 1, 2010 through Universal Music Japan, with their first single "Ato 1 cm no Mirai." Following Igarashi's retirement from D-Date in 2013, the group has become inactive, as all the members have returned to focus on their individual acting careers.
