History
Hybrid was announced as a special sub-unit between KNS48 and Kensho-ν in May 2014. A provisional line-up consisting of Kawamoto Chiyo, Kohara Izumi and Harukami Suzuka from KNS48 and Koizumi Amaya from Kensho-ν was also announced. In September of the same year however, it was further announced that the group would actually become a main group within Tadashi Music Agency. Two of the provisional members, Kawamoto and Kohara were promoted and a new, original member Hoshino Manami joined, making the group a trio. In October 2014, it was announced that Hybrid had implemented a main/support member system in which the support members only would have limited activities within the group. At the same time, it was announced that Kuramoto Mika had been added to the group as a support member. When their 2nd single, Mr.Snowman was released in December 2014, Kuramoto was promoted to main member status. In April 2015, Yamamoto Aiko was added as a support member. Hybrid went on an indefinite hiatus between August 2015 and September 2016. During that time, original member Kawamoto Chiyo graduated from TMA. When they came back, they added a new support member, KNS48 understudy Ashikawa Akiko. In April 2017, Ashikawa graduated from TMA, effectively ending her Hybrid membership. In June 2017, Mizutani Risa, a former KNS48 member joined the group. This was the first time since September 2014 that an original member had been added. A second member was set to debut at this time but had to back out due to school work. Mizutani did not receive a main/support member position in the group. Just a month later, the first Kensho-nu member joined the group, Yamazaki Haruka. Yamazaki did not receive a main/support member position in the group. In January 2018, Ashikawa Akiko was once again added to the group without a position. They released their 3rd single in March 2018. In August 2018 it was announced that the main/support member system had been abolished and all members were now equal. In the same month, a new original member, Ikumi Sakura was added. Ikumi was originally set debut together with Mizutani Risa in 2017 but had to wait one year due to school.
