Kusumi Koharu - 7th Generation - Since 2005
Known as the "Miracle Girl" of the 2005 auditions, Koharu quickly became a best-seller on the charts as she became "Tsukishima Kirari" for the hit kids anime, "Kirarin Revolution". With several solo singles as well as a solo album in just her first two years of being in Morning Musume, she's quickly made her mark in the H!P world. Preferring cool over cute, she adds a different flavor to the group, and has recently been taking the center spot in dance routines. She played a messenger boy in the musical "Ribon no Kishi". Most recently, she's formed a unit with two H!P Eggs (Kikkawa Yuu and Kitahara Sayaka), called Milky Way, which will release a single called "Anataboshi" on April 30th.
