Maya

Maya, born Kawachi Maya, is one of the key vocal forces inside XG. She came up through Avex Artist Academy before debuting with XG on March 18, 2022 under XGALX, and she has become central to the group's balance of rap, melody, and high-gloss performance ambition.

What separates Maya is how easily she moves between weight and control. Her delivery can hit with attack, then turn smooth without losing presence. That range matters in a group built to cross pop, R&B, rap, and performance formats without sounding stitched together. As XG scaled from early singles into major global touring, Maya stayed one of the members most responsible for keeping the records emotionally grounded.

The official XG profile frames the group's current era through milestones that include Billboard entries, a Tokyo Dome finale, Coachella, and 2026's first full album THE CORE - 核. Inside that run, Maya reads as more than a supporting member. She is one of the performers helping XGALX turn XG from a strong concept into a sustainable global act.
