Sakura Tobi

Sakura Tobi is the Japanese trainee who became the final piece of HYBE x Geffen Records' next multinational girl group by winning ABEMA's World Scout: The Final Piece. The official project was built around a simple but high-stakes brief: find one last member in Japan to complete the group around already-confirmed members Emily, Lexie, and Samara.

That framing is what gave Sakura's rise real weight. She was not just surviving weekly edits. She was competing for the only open seat in a lineup being assembled inside the same HYBE x Geffen development system that first produced KATSEYE. By the time the finale narrowed the decision to Sakura and Ayana, the project had already made clear that the winner would move straight into a live debut path instead of a soft post-show holding pattern.
