Based on the assumption that an S4 flavor symmetry is embedded into SU(3), a lepton mass matrix model is investigated. A Froggatt-Nielsen type model is assumed, and the flavor structures of the masses and mixing are caused by VEVs of SU(2)L-singlet scalars u and d which are nonets (8+1) of the SU(3) flavor symmetry, and which are broken into 2+3+3' and 1 of S4. If we require the invariance under the transformation ((8),(1))→(−(8),+(1)) for the superpotential of the nonet field (8+1), the model leads to a beautiful relation for the charged lepton masses. The observed tribimaximal neutrino mixing is understood by assuming two SU(3) singlet right-handed neutrinos νR(±) and an SU(3) triplet scalar χ.
