Meet the Leaders
Ryuji Korekuni — Kitacore
VA: Kishio Daisuke
Ryuji is one half of Kitakore, and the driving force behind a lot of the business deals of the group. Ryuji take some time to warm up to people, and tends to hide his feelings. He has a smaller build and likes to wear feminine clothes, often getting mistaken for a girl. He dislikes this and thinks everyone should be able to wear any clothes they like. He loves fashion and creative tasks.
Kazuna Masunaga — MooNs
VA: Uemura Yuto
The leader of the five piece group of MooNs, Kazuna is smart and competitive, but the need for success often gets in his own way. Despite everyone seeing him as highly successful and reliable, he has a distinct lack of self-worth that drives him to constantly do better.
Kento Aizome — THRIVE
VA: Kato Kazuki
The three-man group of THRIVE is known for its professional and dance-inducing songs. Their leader Kento is quite a ladies man with a happy go lucky attitude. Despite his lackadaisical attitude, he will do everything he can for his fans, even the things that he’s not particularly good at. Some see him as narcissistic and he can be very stubborn at times.
Akane Fudo — KiLLER KiNG
VA: Chiba Shoya
The final group to join B-PROJECT, KiLLER KiNG are a group of four that are juniors compared to the other idol groups. Akane is the groups leader, and is easy to engage with. He is always willing to help others, but sometimes suffers from low self-esteem. However, his fellow members know how important he is to the group.
