Captain

The term Captain (Japanese: キャプテン, Mandarin: 隊長), also known as Leader in SKE48 and Boku ga Mitakatta Aozora, is used to describe a member that is the authority (and many times the represent) of a certain team or group.

The Co-Captain (Japanese: 副キャプテン, Mandarin: 副隊長), also known as Co-Leader in SKE48 or Vice-Captain, was introduced at the AKB48 Group Daisokaku Matsuri.

The term Soukantoku (Japanese: 総監督) in Japan refers to the General Manager, i.e. a member representative of all 48 Groups within Japan, supposedly with closer ties to management than any other member.

The term Shihainin (Japanese: 支配人) in Thailand refers to the General Manager, i.e. a member who is more involved in the production. The term Captain (when referring to the whole group rather than individual teams) is similar to the concept of the Japanese Soukantoku.
