RIKU, a member of the group NiziU, will appear on a Japanese variety show to simultaneously showcase unexpected karate skills and cute charm.

Recently, a video announcing RIKU's appearance on a Japanese broadcast was posted on NiziU's official Twitter (X), along with the text, "April 21st, Tuesday, 8 p.m., Useful Hobbies Presentation Show. RIKU (NiziU), who was learning karate, makes her first appearance." According to the post, RIKU, as a karate black belt holder, will reveal her past when she was called by the frightening nickname "Boss," and plans to prove her reverse skills by showing off a straight punch in the studio.

In the video released together, RIKU has a bright blonde hairstyle and is wearing a bright sky blue dress, waving her hands while brightly smiling towards the camera. Another image contains a scene where she is clasping her hands and conveying a story with a serious expression, allowing viewers to feel her anticipation for the variety show.
