Amaru

Amaru (아마루), born Mitsuyuki Amaru (満行亜丸) on October 21, 2005, is the main vocalist of KickFlip (킥플립) under JYP Entertainment. Born in Saitama, Japan, he is one of the group's two Japanese members alongside Keiju, and was selected through the SBS competition program Loud.

Before JYP, Amaru trained at YG Entertainment, working alongside future TREASURE members. His vocal range defined KickFlip from the start: the group's debut EP Flip It, Kick It! (January 20, 2025) leaned heavily on his register across its title track "Mama Said." He has described Keiju as the member who helped him feel at home during training, and the two have become KickFlip's Japanese line.

2025 was a proving year. KickFlip released Kick Out, Flip Now! in May, performed at Lollapalooza on August 2, and followed with My First Flip in September, which produced their first music show trophy: "My First Love Song" on Show Champion, October 1. Amaru paused activities briefly that September to manage anxiety, returning before the group's debut fan concert "From KickFlip, To WeFlip" at Blue Square SOL Travel Hall, January 17 to 18, 2026.
