Keiju
Keiju (케이주), born Okamoto Keiju (岡本鐘樹) on October 4, 2006, is a member of KickFlip (킥플립) under JYP Entertainment. Born in Koto, Tokyo, Japan, he is one of the group's two Japanese members alongside Amaru. He was selected for JYP's group through the SBS competition program Loud, appearing on JTBC's Stage K during the iKON episode before his debut.
Keiju's specialties sit at the intersection of performance and personality: he excels in dance and lists cooking and bowling as genuine passions. He has blood type A, draws the Libra sign, and is the only KickFlip member with a solo room following the dorm rearrangement in October 2025. Amaru helped him sharpen his Korean during the JYP training period. His childhood dream was to become a police officer.
KickFlip debuted on January 20, 2025, with the EP Flip It, Kick It! and followed it with Kick Out, Flip Now! (May 2025) and My First Flip (September 2025). The group played Lollapalooza on August 2, earned their first music show trophy with "My First Love Song" on Show Champion on October 1, and held the fan concert "From KickFlip, To WeFlip" at Blue Square SOL Travel Hall in January 2026.
