Since day 1 she's been the 19ki girl who catched my attention the most. She has a mature, Team K-ish vibe. Can't wait to see more of her
She is rumoured to be the daughter of Okumoto Ken, who was a member of the boyband Da Pump from 1996 to 2009. Netizens found several circumstantial evidences: - They have the same surname. 48G idols typically use real name. - Some people said her face looks like him. - https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/42664/full/ Okumoto Ken said his wife gave birth to their first child at the end of January 2007. Kairi's birthday is 27/01/2007. - She recently visited Hie Shrine, where Ken taught dancing back in 2018. This one seems to be a weak evidence, as this shrine is famous. - Da Pump often collaborate with AKB48. http://akb48taimuzu.livedoor.biz/archives/61435369.html
