Former NMB48 member Fukumoto Aina graduates from Yoshimoto Shinkigeki

Former NMB48 member Fukumoto Aina (25) announced on Twitter that she has graduated from Yoshimoto Shinkigeki.

Fukumoto joined NMB48 in 2010 and graduated in July 2013. She joined Yoshimoto Shinkigeki as a research student to pursue her career as a comedy actress but as she would later spend more time as a TV talent, her role of pursuing a career as a comedian became difficult. In fact, she has not appeared in the theater since May 2017. Fukumoto said she is reaching the tenth year of her entertainment life next year and would like to extend her interests in plays and sports.
