Early Career[]
On May 20th, 2018, RYOSEi joined the male idol group, URAGAWA PROJECT, as a founding member of its URAGAWA Koko ni Kore subunit. In November that same year, he modelled for the fashion brand, HTML_ZERO3.
URAGAWA PROJECT ultimately disbanded on July 8th, 2020.
2022[]
In early 2022, RYOSEi applied for the WACK Men's Joint Audition, and made it to the boot camp stage. He was unveiled as a finalist on February 18th, under the name, CHiN BONBON.
The camp officially took place between February 22nd and 27th, and at the end of the camp, he was selected as one of the founding members of the company's first all-male idol group, pre-emptively named "WACK BOYZ", and later becoming BOYSGROUP.
2023[]
RYOSEi's debut album, We are BOYSGROUP, was released on January 18th, 2023. His debut single will be released on May 10th.
On April 27th, BOYSGROUP announced that RYOSEi would immediately go on indefinite hiatus from all activity, in order to heal a panic disorder. In a statement posted to their site, RYOSEi admitted that about two months ago, right before the live performance, he started feeling nauseous and having heart palpitations, so that he can not make a perfect performance.
BOYSGROUP disbanded on May 14th, and RYOSEi left WACK at the same time.
On July 1st, RYOSEi announced the formation of a new group, Unicorn 2.0 with BOYSGROUP groupmate, SHUNJi. Auditions opened soon after.
