Cocoa Otoko (ココア男。 Kokoa Otoko?, Chocolate Men) is a Japanese rock group that was active between April 2010 and March 2012. The band consisted of five actors, namely Kenta Kamakari (lead vocals), Kei Hosogai (bass), Kousuke Yonehara (drums), Shogo Suzuki (guitar), and Takuya Ide (keyboard and rap).
Along with acting, the members of Cocoa Otoko made their first television appearance as a band on the long-running show Ikemen Deru no Hōsoku: Koi ni Kurushimu Handsome na Endō Mame-tachi (イケメンデルの法則 〜恋に苦しむハンサムなエンドウ豆たち〜?). They released their debut single, "Amai Wana Nigai Uso..." (甘い罠 苦い嘘、、、?), on April 15, 2010.
The band's name was decided due to the members like of chocolates (ココア Cocoa?) and all of them are men (男 Otoko?). At some point they began to write "Cocoa" using the characters for Heart and Love (心愛), giving their band name an extra meaning.
