Riko Kino

With sleek black hair and warm brown eyes, Riko Kino presents a slim, natural look that fits her role as the leader of α＋ (Alpha Plus), a J-pop idol group. At 20 years old, she has quickly made her mark since starting her career in 2026. Born in Kyoto, Japan, she brings a distinctly Japanese sensibility to her performances, which have already earned her a following of 9k on Instagram. Off stage, Riko is a woman of varied tastes. She enjoys doing her own nails, watching anime, and relaxing in saunas and rock baths. Her love for stylish cafés and steamed dumplings rounds out her interests, blending fashion, leisure, and food. But her talents go beyond music. Riko is notably athletic, lists sports among her special skills, and is proficient in Korean. She can even move one eyebrow independently of the other, a quirky party trick. She also takes pride in being observant, quick to notice changes in the people around her.
