About
Short bio
Yuki is a Japanese vocalist and performer of NEXZ recognized for his youthful charm, quick humor, and steady vocal growth.
Background
Yuki was born in Hyogo, Japan, and grew up with a younger brother in a supportive household that encouraged his creative interests. From an early age, he showed a strong connection to music and movement, beginning dance training in childhood and gradually developing both vocal and performance skills.
He first auditioned in Kobe, Japan, choosing bold and energetic songs that reflected his confidence and taste in performance-driven music. His rendition of “God’s Menu” (Japanese version) by Stray Kids highlighted his charisma, while later evaluations — including “10 out of 10” by 2PM — demonstrated versatility. During the competition, he earned the vocal cube from JYP, solidifying his reputation as a stable singer with room to grow.
In 2023, Yuki appeared on Nizi Project Season 2, where his humor and consistent improvement helped him secure 3rd place in the finals. He officially debuted with NEXZ on May 20, 2024, becoming the youngest member of the group and quickly earning affection for his upbeat, easygoing personality and natural cuteness.
