Ni-ki
Nishimura Riki (西村 力), who performs as Ni-ki (니키), is a Japanese dancer, rapper, and performer and the youngest member of ENHYPEN. Born in Okayama, Japan on December 9, 2005, he is the only Japanese national in the group. He began training in dance at a young age, eventually appearing in The Weeknd's "Can't Feel My Face" Japanese music video in 2016 and performing as a child dancer at Shinee World 2017. He joined BELIFT LAB's trainee program in 2019 and appeared on I-Land the following year, where his technical dance ability at 14 years old became one of the show's defining storylines. He placed fourth among the final lineup.
As ENHYPEN's main dancer, Ni-ki has led the group's visual choreography from their 2020 debut through their current era. His training background in Japan, combined with years of development under BELIFT LAB, placed him at the center of the group's most technically demanding performance sequences. His presence as a Japanese member contributed to ENHYPEN's strong dedicated fanbase in Japan, where the group releases through HYBE's partnership with Universal Music Japan. In December 2024, he performed "Guilty" with Taemin of SHINee at the MBC Gayo Daejejeon WANNABE broadcast.
Ni-ki continues with ENHYPEN as the group moves forward as a six-member act following Heeseung's departure in March 2026.

Yes. Ni-ki, born Nishimura Riki on December 9, 2005 in Okayama, Japan, is ENHYPEN's Japanese member. He debuted in South Korea with BELIFT LAB in November 2020 and has remained one of the group's most recognisable performance specialists ever since.
What is Ni-ki's real name?
Ni-ki's real name is Nishimura Riki. He performs under the stage name Ni-ki in ENHYPEN, with the name becoming closely tied to his reputation as a high-level dancer who arrived in the public eye through I-LAND before debuting while still in his mid-teens.
How old was Ni-ki when ENHYPEN debuted?
Ni-ki was 14 internationally and 15 in Korean age-counting contexts when ENHYPEN debuted on November 30, 2020. That made him the group's youngest member and one of the most technically advanced teenage performers in his generation at the moment of debut.
What is Ni-ki's role in ENHYPEN?
Ni-ki is ENHYPEN's main dancer and one of its core performance drivers. His credits run from BORDER: DAY ONE in 2020 through THE SIN: VANISH in 2026, and his stage identity is built on precision, speed, and the kind of body control that gave ENHYPEN a clear edge in choreography-heavy eras.
Does Ni-ki have official social media?
Ni-ki's official public-facing channels are the verified ENHYPEN group accounts and the group's official profile page. Rather than linking fan-run member accounts, HITKULTR uses ENHYPEN's official Instagram, X, TikTok, YouTube, Spotify, and profile site because those are the channels consistently maintained for the group's confirmed activity.
