No Sleeves (ノースリーブス, Nō Surībusu^?) is a subunit from idol group AKB48's original Team A, produced by Yasushi Akimoto. The group is commonly referred as no3b, a stylized version of the group's name, which is a wasei-eigo term for sleeveless clothes.

The trio debuted officially under the name No Sleeves in November 2008, but were previously grouped together and performed the songs "Junai no Crescendo" and "Bye Bye Bye" at AKB48 concerts and stage DVDs. As of 2014^[update], they have had eight Oricon top 10 singles. The group has released two digital singles under the name Persona (ペルソナ, Perusona^?) for the TV Tokyo drama Men Dol: Ikemen Idol in which they starred.

After a year of inactivity following the release of their eighth single, "Pedicure Day" in December 2011, no3b joined as MC in Fuji TV's midnight ad lib music variety show Snack Kissa Eden (^?, Café and Snack Eden) together with Tetsuya Komuro, Kosuke Suzuki, and Lily Franky, where they held their first recorded performance of the next single, "Kirigirisu Jin".
