Short bio

Background
NEXZ member Yu, born Tomiyasu Yu, grew up in Fukuoka, Japan, in a household filled with support and creativity.

Yu debuted with NEXZ on May 20, 2024, taking on the role of the oldest member, often acting as a quiet pillar of support for the younger members. Off stage, he is known for being nurturing, humorous, and surprisingly domestic, especially in the kitchen.
