History
The group was preceded by Mis Snow Man, a unit formed in 2009 that consists of 9 people.{{cite book |title=5周年から、もう一度 |date=March 2017 |publisher=日経エンタテインメント! |pages=68–71}} The group has been active in stage play series Takizawa Kabuki since 2010. Among them, a unit consists of Tatsuya Fukazawa, Daisuke Sakuma, Shota Watanabe, Ryota Miyadate, Hikaru Iwamoto, and Ryohei Abe was later formed on May 3, 2012.{{cite web |title=迫力のアクロバットとダンスで魅せる実力派「Snow Man」ギャップにも注目 |url=https://news.mynavi.jp/article/20180930-snowman/ |website=マイナビニュース |date=September 30, 2018 |accessdate=March 26, 2020}} The group's new name, Snow Man, was first announced when the six men stood in the stage of Takizawa Kabuki 2012, when letters suddenly appeared on the big screen behind them. The group's name was officially announced both to them and audience as a surprise.
While active as back dancers for Tackey & Tsubasa, Kis-My-Ft2, A.B.C-Z, and other senior groups, they also regularly appeared in stage plays such as Dream Boys and Takizawa Kabuki, and from 2015, Shonen-tachi and its movie version. Since all of them are good at acrobatics, they are sometimes referred as "a group of highly talented and dedicated performers" and are often nominated by seniors in the company as "Junior members they want to have as back dancers." While they have been described as "the best dancer among Junior" since their formation in 2012, and despite their appearances in theater, the group couldn't get the chance to get a debut, making the members think about leaving.{{cite web |title=Snow Man、デビューまでの道のりに密着「やめようとは何回も頭によぎりましたね」 |url=https://thetv.jp/news/detail/219539/p2/ |website=ザテレビジョン|access-date=March 21, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250202134831/https://thetv.jp/news/detail/219539/p2/ |archive-date=2 February 2025}} In January 2019, Raul from Shonen Ninja, Ren Meguro from Uchuu Six, and a member from Kansai Junior, Koji Mukai, were added as new members. While the original 6 members accepted the decision as "wanting to protect the group," they also felt that "even if whole group (as original Snow Man) was gone, we just want to realize our dream as Snow Man," and "the only way to get rid of this problem (off my head) is this."
In March 2019, Island TV, a website made to provide exclusive video streaming content from Johnny's Jr. members was released.< Individual concerts were streamed for a fee.{{Cite web |date=18 April 2019 |title=滝沢氏の演出と主演するＳｎｏｗ Ｍａｎの若い力が見事に融合した『滝沢歌舞伎ＺＥＲＯ』」／週末エンタメ |url=https://www.sanspo.com/article/20190418-24I2JKCUDBJZLKWSJXF3FHQNRM/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250202143011/https://www.sanspo.com/article/20190418-24I2JKCUDBJZLKWSJXF3FHQNRM/ |archive-date=2 February 2025 |access-date=2 February 2025 |website=Sanspo |language=Japanese}} Snow Man, along with 11 other Johnny's Jr. groups (SixTones, Travis Japan, HiHi Jets, Bi Shonen, 7 Men Samurai, Shonen Ninja, Jr.SP, Uchuu Six, Naniwa Danshi, Lil Kansai, and Ae!
