Yushi

Tokuno Yushi (得能勇志 / 토쿠노 유우시), born April 5, 2004 in Tokyo, is the main dancer, vocalist, and visual of NCT WISH, the final fixed unit inside NCT under SM Entertainment. He is one of the members who gave the group its performance center of gravity before debut, carrying the longest training runway in the lineup after first entering SM's system in 2015 and spending years sharpening his dance line, vocal control, and camera confidence.

Yushi was introduced publicly in June 2023 alongside Sion as one of the first confirmed members of what was then still framed as NCT Tokyo. NCT Universe: LASTART filled out the rest of the team, but Yushi had already been positioned as a foundational piece. His appeal sits in control rather than flash. He performs with clean angles, stable timing, and an understated charisma that lets the brighter parts of NCT WISH's music land without feeling lightweight.

That balance matters because NCT WISH has moved quickly since debut. After opening with Wish and Wishful, the group kept building through COLOR and the 2026 full-length release Ode To Love. Yushi has become one of the clearest symbols of the unit's identity: polished, youth-driven, and built to connect Japanese and Korean pop markets without flattening either side.
