Lemino (レミノ, Remino) is a Japanese video on demand over-the-top streaming service operated by NTT Docomo.
Upon launching the app, a video immediately starts playing, and the channels arranged vertically can be changed by flicking on a smartphone or using a TV remote control, allowing users to begin watching something without actively searching for it.

According to the market research firm GEM Partners, as of 2016, dTV had a domestic share of 24.1%, overwhelmingly ranking first.

In February, U-Next, which held the second-largest market share domestically, announced the acquisition of the operating company of Paravi, in which TBS Television and TV Tokyo had invested.
