Life and career

Itagaki was born in Tokyo, Japan on 25 October 2000. At the age of 10, Itagaki was scouted by Stardust Promotion in front of the Statue of Hachikō while he and his mother were on their way home from shopping. He later joined Stardust Promotion's all-male musical collective Ebidan when he was 11 years old. Itagaki appeared in Fujifabric music video as his debut work.
