In a surprise announcement at the end of the SKE48 Team S performance at SKE48 Theater in Nagoya, SKE48 Team S Captain Kitagawa Ryoha surprised the audience that she will be graduating at the end of September.
Kitagawa said, “I am 20-years-old and I decided to live my life without any regrets and I made the decision to graduate. I am happy to support SKE48 Team S and with what little time I have left”.
The audience showed their appreciation for Ryoha.
Kitagawa continued, “Details of my future have not yet been decided but I would like to pursue my dream of becoming a model or working in fashion”.
Kitagawa passed the SKE48 sixth audition back in October 2012 and was a double center alongside Miyamae Ami for SKE48’s 16th single “12gatsu no Kangaroo”.
She ranked #27 in the 10th AKB48 Sekai Senbatsu Sousenkyo.
