Miraku
Miraku (미라쿠) is the main dancer, rapper, and youngest member (maknae) of NOUERA, the multinational K-pop boy group under Nouer Entertainment. Born Hoshizawa Miraku (星沢 弥樂) on February 13, 2008, in Tokyo, Japan, he is one of the youngest active K-pop idols in the Gen 5 wave and became NOUERA's most-cited visual during their debut era.
Miraku's path to K-pop began with J-pop's own survival infrastructure. In July 2023, he competed on Nizi Project 2, the JYP-led Japanese survival show, advancing to the second final stage before elimination. That same competitive drive pushed him toward Korea, where he entered KBS2's MAKEMATE1 in 2024. He ranked 3rd in the finale with 6,239 points, outperforming multiple older Korean trainees on his first K-pop audition cycle.
He started dancing after being influenced by his older sister, who also danced. He practiced karate in elementary school and describes his personality as friendly and open, like a quokka. His nicknames within the group are Raku and Miitan. He speaks Japanese natively and some Korean, making him one of the group's key touchpoints for Japanese fan engagement.
NOUERA debuted on February 26, 2025 with the EP Chapter: New Is Now. Miraku's role as main dancer is immediately apparent in live performance, where his crisp isolations and expressive floor work consistently draw focus. On their third mini album POP IT LIKE, released March 9, 2026, Miraku continued to lead visual choreography, cementing his place as one of K-pop's most watchable young dancers.
