Yu

Tomiyasu Yu (富安 悠) is the oldest member, visual, and dancer of NEXZ, the seven-member boy group under JYP Entertainment and Sony Music Entertainment Japan, formed through the survival program Nizi Project Season 2. Born April 27, 2005, in Kurume City, Fukuoka, Japan, Yu has dedicated over nine years to breakdancing -- a skill that gives NEXZ some of its most technically distinctive performance moments.

Prior to Nizi Project 2, Yu attended multiple auditions across Japan, approaching each with composure and self-assurance. He ranked fifth in the final selection, debuting with NEXZ on May 20, 2024, with the group's first single album Ride the Vibe. With an MBTI of ESFP, Yu brings genuine warmth and playfulness to both the stage and behind-the-scenes content. Off stage, he is a devoted home cook and baker -- hosting his own baking series on the NEXZ YouTube channel where he makes desserts for fans and members alike. He shares his home with three cats named Kuru, Nini, and Keti, and credits his family -- particularly his mother -- as his deepest motivation.
