Seifuku Koujo Iinkai

 (制服向上委員会; Uniform Improvement Committee), also known as SKi, is a Japanese idol group originally formed in 1992, with slogans such as "Pure, Just and Beautiful" and "Love, Courage and Compassion".

They are currently the longest-running female idol group in Japan. To date, Seifuku Koujoi Iinkai has seen over 20 generations, 31 supporting members and 40 studio albums. They have been in a semi-inactive state since 2018, with graduated members performing under the Seifuku Koujou Iinkai name in the meantime.

Biography
Seifuku Koujou Iinkai originally debuted under Pony Canyon, but became independent in 1995, and were managed by Idol Japan Records after.

The original incarnation of the group was active until September 24th, 2006, when all members graduated and the project was rebranded as SKi Family (SKiファミリー), a collective organization of multiple groups. For a period in 2007, Seifuku Koujou Iinkai continued under the name "Hoshikawa Ririka with SKi", before ending activities entirely.

In October 2010, Seifuku Koujo Iinkai was rebooted with new members.

In the second half of 2017, Seifuku Koujou Iinkai suffered from mass-graduations. This resulted in the group having only three members, including Hahimoto Mika, who initially graduated in 2006 and had since been acting as the group's honorary chairman, and Nomiyama Anri, their 11th leader.

In October 2017, it was reported that their parent company, Idol Japan Records, would be dissolved and turned into a non-profit organization, but these plans were later put on hold. Following Nomiyama Anri's resignation in April 2018 and the withdrawal of last remaining member RAY in July, Seifuku Koujou Iinkai currently has no active members and its future is uncertain. However, reunion events with graduated members performing under the Seifuku Koujou-Tai name still take place occasionally.

Politics
Seifuku Koujou Iinkai is heavily-involved in socio-political activism, and the members volunteer in community and charity projects. Many of SKi's lyrics are critical of the Japanese government and society, and the group frequently fronts demonstrations for socio-political causes.

Seifuku Koujoi Iinkai was initially formed for two reasons; the first was to campaign for an improvement to Japanese school uniforms. The second was to combat the misogyny and exploitation faced by women in the Japanese entertainment industry, especially on television variety programmes. Since then, SKi's activism has spread to support many socio-political causes such as anti-war, anti-tobacco, preservation of the ecosystem, suicide prevention, abolition of capital punishment and the promotion of human rights.

In 1997, Seifuku Koujo Iinkai launched the "SKi Foundation" ( SKi基金), in which fans could make donations to help the group organize visits to children's homes and survivors of the Fukushima disaster. A portion of the money also goes to causes such as Amnesty International and towards the preservation of the Amazon rainforest.
