Chihiro Anai (穴井 千尋, Anai Chihiro, born 27 January 1996 in Fukuoka Prefecture) is a former member of the Japanese idol girl group HKT48. She was a member of HKT48's Team H.[1]

Biography

Career

Anai passed HKT48's 1st generation auditions in July 2011. Her audition song was "Haru ni Nattara" by Miwa.[2] Her stage debut was in November 2011. In March 2012, she was selected to form Team H and was also appointed captain.[3] In the 2014 AKB48 general elections, Anai ranked for the first time, placing 39th with 18,825 votes.[4] On June 8, 2016, during an HKT48 stage greeting, Anai announced she was leaving the group.[5]

Character

Anai's nickname at the point of debut was "Chiichan",[6] but was later changed to "Chihiron". However, she is still called "Chiichan" by members. She is also often referred to as "Kyappu", which is derived from captain, since she was appointed the captain of Team H when it was formed.

Anai likes pumpkins[7] and tomatoes,[8] but dislikes avocados.[9] She studied classical ballet throughout elementary and middle school.[10] Anai admires Yuko Oshima,[11] and respects Minami Takahashi and Rino Sashihara.[12][13]
