Fukujin
Fukujin (福神), meaning "god of fortune" in English, is a term that describes the front members from Nogizaka46. Originally Shichi Fukujin (七福神) as a direct rival to AKB48's Kami 7, the number of members in this position have changed throughout the releases.
When the concept was originally conceived, it was described as "the seven center members that were chosen by the group's management, based on lesson results and fan response". The first Fukujin iteration consisted of Shiraishi Mai, Sakurai Reika, Nakada Kana, Ichiki Rena, Ikuta Erika, Takayama Kazumi, and Ikoma Rina. However, the Fukujin members did change before the release before the group's first single, Guru Guru Curtain.
Ikuta Erika and Shiraishi Mai are the members with the most Fukujin appearances with 25 each. Additionally, Hashimoto Nanami and Shiraishi Mai are the only members who have appeared in every Fukujin iteration from their debut until their graduation.
