Boss (ボス, Bosu) is a brand name of canned and plastic bottled coffee and coffee-flavored beverages sold by Suntory in Japan. It was released in 1992 and is one of many brands of Japanese canned coffee. An image of American writer William Faulkner appears as the brand's logo,[1] and American actor Tommy Lee Jones has appeared in a series of TV commercials[2] and billboards.[3]

The Suntory Boss brand was launched in Australia and New Zealand in November 2019, with two products.[4][5] In the Australian and New Zealand product lines, the depiction of Faulkner in the logo does not include his pipe.[5]
