JKT48 adalah grup idola asal Indonesia yang diproduseri oleh Yasushi Akimoto. Ini adalah adik grup AKB48 pertama yang berada di luar Jepang, dan berpusat di Jakarta.Grup ini mengadopsi konsep AKB48 yaitu "idola yang dapat anda jumpai ”.
Pembentukan JKT48 pertama kali diumumkan pada 11 September 2011 di sebuah acara AKB48 yang diadakan di Makuhari Messe di Chiba. Wawancara untuk peserta berlangsung pada akhir bulan September, dengan audisi final untuk finalis pada 8 Oktober 2011 - 9 Oktober 2011.
Dari 1.200 orang pelamar yang diwawancara, 51 pelamar lolos seleksi tahap kedua. Audisi tahap akhir berlangsung pada 2 November 2011. Setelah disaring kembali melalui tes menari "Heavy Rotation" dan menyanyikan lagu favorit, 28 orang peserta dinyatakan diterima. Produser Yasushi Akimoto datang ke Jakarta untuk melakukan seleksi. Ketika ditanya mengenai standar seleksi, Akimoto berkata, "Mengenai pemilihan anggota, ciri-ciri khas lokal tidak dijadikan bahan pertimbangan. Kami berpendapat bahwa pesona dari anak perempuan yang dapat kami rasakan, di negara mana pun memiliki kesamaan. [Kami] memilih dengan lebih mementingkan kepribadian, sambil juga mempertimbangkan, kalau saja ada teman sekelas seperti anak ini, alangkah bagusnya."
Generasi pertama diperkenalkan pada 3 November 2011. Di antara 28 anggota, ada salah satu anggota yang berasal dari Jepang yang bernama Rena Nozawa (13 tahun) yang tinggal di Jakarta. Produser Yasushi Akimoto mengatakan JKT48 akan menjadi "jembatan persahabatan antara Indonesia dan Jepang".
