The Janken Tournament (じゃんけん大会 Janken Taikai ) is an AKB48 event that consists of a large-scale rock-paper-scissors tournament where up to 16 winner(s) receive a prize. Prizes have varied throughout the tournaments, ranging from entry into the next single's Senbatsu to making a solo single debut. The event was first announced during the 3rd day of the AKB48 Surprise wa Arimasen concert by Togasaki Tomonobu, where he explained that the Senbatsu Members for AKB48's 19th Single would be selected by a Janken Tournament at Nippon Budoukan. All AKB48 Members and 4 previously-selected Kenkyuusei were randomly shuffled during the concert to decide the order of the matches. The winner of the Tournament would become the center of the single.

In subsequent tournaments, the order of the matches was established by lottery or by random shuffling. Members of sister groups became eligible as well.

JKT48 has their own Janken Tournament. BNK48 also has their own Janken Tournament.

Results and Prizes

Costumes

Members are permitted to wear any costume or outfit they want during the tournament. As the years went on, costumes became an important part of the event, with several TV shows and magazines specials focusing solely on the members' costumes. Costumes vary from clothes used on theater performances to regular clothing and cosplay.

Mini-Live Concert

During the first Janken Tournament (19th Single Janken Senbatsu Tournament), a mini-live concert was performed after the event, featuring the first live performance and PV exhibition of Beginner and performances of five other songs byAKB48 and SDN48. A mini-live concert also occurred at the second Janken tournament (24th Single Janken Senbatsu Tournament), this time before the beginning of the event, featuring the first live performance of Kaze wa Fuiteiru.

At the 29th Single Janken Senbatsu Tournament, UZA was performed for the first time. At the 34th Single Janken Senbatsu Tournament, Heart Ereki was performed for the first time.
