Nishimura Riki, better known as Ni-ki, is a Japanese singer, dancer, and the youngest member of ENHYPEN. Born on December 9, 2005, in Okayama, Japan, Ni-ki was already an accomplished dancer before joining the K-pop industry.
From a young age, he trained in numerous dance styles including hip-hop, jazz, contemporary, ballet, freestyle, b-boying, and acrobatics. His exceptional talent led him to perform as a child dancer for SHINee during their Tokyo Dome concerts, an experience that inspired him to pursue a professional career as an idol.
After only eight months of training under BELIFT LAB, Ni-ki competed on I-LAND and quickly established himself as the strongest dancer on the show. He ultimately debuted with ENHYPEN in 2020 and has since become recognized as one of the most skilled dancers of his generation.
