Taki

Taki (타키), born Takayama Riki (高山りき), is one of the sharpest performance pieces inside &TEAM. The Kanagawa-born singer and dancer first entered HYBE's orbit through I-LAND in 2020, then converted that early exposure into a cleaner second run when &AUDITION - The Howling built the final &TEAM lineup in 2022.

That long runway shows up in how he moves. Taki does not perform like a rookie still trying to catch up to the camera. He is one of the members who makes &TEAM feel technically locked in, whether the group is pushing the Japanese releases that built its base or the Korean-market step-up that followed with Back to Life in 2025.

He debuted with First Howling: ME on December 7, 2022 and has remained part of the group's core performance identity through the full Howling run, anniversary releases, and arena-scale touring. Under YX Labels, Taki sits in a useful lane for HYBE Japan: young enough to keep growing, already polished enough to register on impact.
