Good afternoon, everyone. Today, we're shining a spotlight on a dazzling star
rising within the world of Nogizaka46, the talented young idol and model,
Kazu Inoue, who has been attracting significant attention in 2024.
A native of Yokohama, Kanagawa, 20-year-old Kazu was born on February 17, 2005.
Standing at a petite 5 feet 2 inches, 158 centimeters, she captures fans' hearts with
her ethereal beauty and natural charm. Debuting in 2022, she may be relatively new to the scene,
but she has already become a central figure within the group, riding a wave of momentum.
Let's start with her profile. Despite her small stature, her clear and radiant visual presence
has quickly won over fans. After joining Nogizaka46 as a fifth-generation member in 2022,
she was immediately entrusted with prominent performance roles and even took center stage
early on. By 2023, she made her first appearance in the Senbatsu lineup, and in the hit song
hitarizama Tengoku, she proudly led as center for the front row, cementing her rising popularity.
Kazu's versatility is truly remarkable. Her activities span many fields. She joined
Nogizaka46 during their fifth-generation debut and rapidly proved her talent as she performed
center positions. Her growing influence was further demonstrated through her appearance
in variety shows, dramas, and radio programs. Notably, she played Yusagi Tsukino, Sailor Moon,
in the 2024 stage musical Sailor Moon, and starred in the TBS drama Spring,
both achievements marking her impressive progress as an actress.
In addition to her entertainment pursuits, Kazu has established herself as a model. In 2024,
she became a exclusive model for the fashion magazine Nono, appearing on runways and participating
in major fashion events such as the Rakuten Girls Award, where she captivated spectators
with her runway debut. These experiences continue to highlight her multifaceted talents and appeal.
Musically, Kazu made her solo debut performance in March 2025, sharing the stage alongside
renowned artists, a moment that drew praise for her delicate and emotional singing.
Her limited-time performance on YouTube showcased her impressive vocal skills,
further solidifying her status as a future solo star. Her photo book, titled Monologue,
released in 2025, became a hot topic. Spanning 256 large pages, it highlights her diverse charm
and personal insights. Looking ahead, Kazu's career continues to ascend. She's set to appear
in the 2026 Taiga drama Toyotomi Brothers, portraying Chacha, a role expected to further
showcase her acting prowess and deepen her presence as an actress. On a personal note,
Kazu is a warm-hearted individual, characterized by her impatience and tendency to worry.
Yet, beneath that lies a playful and affectionate spirit. She comes from a close-knit family,
her father, mother, and two younger brothers, and enjoys drinking cafe au lait and kinako milk at
home. Her hobbies include anime, manga, and drawing. Favorites include Terraformars and
Tokimeki Tonight in manga, as well as Sword Art Online and Neon Genesis Evangelion in anime.
She's particularly fond of characters like Asuna and Kirito, showing her love for those stories.
In music, she enjoys anime songs and Vocaloid, often singing classics like Onegai Muscle and
Zinkoku na Tenshi no Thesis at karaoke. She also has a talent for traditional Japanese games,
such as kendama and string tricks, demonstrating her wide range of skills.
Finally, Kazu's role model within Nobizaka 46 is Sakura Endo. Before joining, she participated
in Sakura's meet-and-greet events, inspired by her beauty and mature aura, which motivated her to
audition. Currently, she shares strong bonds with fellow members, forming a close-knit unit called
Najisaku. We look forward to seeing how her dreams and endeavors unfold in the future.
