2013
On August 1 2013, it was announced that Kensho, a former karaoke group that disbander earlier in 2013 would return as Kensho-ν.

Kawano Sakura and Koizumi Amaya from the original line-up returned and three new members, Hikasa Ai, Hirata Mei and Fujiwara Michiyo were introduced. In the beginning of December 2013 they released their first single Morning Musume unit songs. On December 26 2013, they added Tomonaga Honoka to the group and started working on their second single.

2014
In January 2014 Hikasa Ai announced that she would go on an indefinite hiatus because of a big school project that would leave her no room for dubbing activities. On February 3 2014, it was announced that original member Kawano Sakura withdrew from the group leaving Kensho-ν with five members once again. On February 17 2014, they released their second single Hello! Project in 2013. Because of the members being busy with school, the group went on a semi-hiatus following Hikasa Ai's announcement in January but thanks to Akimoto Ayumi from KNS48, they managed to release their third single THE Possible indies in September. On November 9, Hirata Mei announced her departure from the group that would occur sometime in early 2015. Just one month later, on December 12, Koizumi Amaya, leader of the group announced that she would graduate on January 1, 2015. In the heat of the departures of the two original members, Tadashi Music Agency announced that new members would be added to the group and on December 25, three new girls were added to the roster, Kato Fuyumi, Ninomiya Riri and Yamazaki Haruka.

2015
On January 1, Koizumi Amaya graduated from the group and it was announced that Hikasa Ai would become the new leader. On January 11 Kensho-ν released their fourth single Hime Kyun Fruit Can indies, featuring two of the new members Kato Fuyumi and Yamazaki Haruka. On the same day it was announced that Hirata Mei's graduation from the group would take place on January 17 and that she would continue on as a soloist in Tadashi Music Agency. On January 24 the group was renamed to Kensho-nu to avoid pronunciation errors by fans and dubbers. With new members and a new name, the group started working on new songs and they released their fifth single, Hello! Project happy songs on March 4. During the remainder of the year, Kensho-nu worked on their sixth single Members selection 1 and it was finally released on October 3.

2016
Tadashi Music Agency went on a semi-hiatus in the end of 2015 so Kensho-nu had limited activities during the first months of 2016. They released their seventh single ANGERME 19th single SP on April 30.
