MOIST (Marinos Official International Supporters Team) is a supporters group of the J-League team Yokohama F Marinos formed in June 2004 by John Allen and Michael Griffin.

The group has gained a certain amount of fame and stardom amongst fans of the Yokohama F-Marinos due to their habit of coming to games in specially designed, hand drawn, sleeveless t-shirts even during the winter months. Their t-shirts usually draw inspiration from wordplay and team rivalries and are sought after collectors items amongst Marinos fans.

At the start of the 2007 season, MOIST uncovered a small scandal with regards to the age of new signing Eltinho. This scandal spread amongst Marinos supporters groups but the club and the player have made no comment with regards to the matter. [1]

Although MOIST claim to be a supporters "group" the membership has never risen above the two founding members.
