Ryōki Miyama

Ryōki Miyama is a Japanese actor, artist, and entrepreneur best known as the former vocalist and rapper of the multi-ethnic J-pop group Be:First. Standing at approximately 173 cm (5'8") with an athletic build honed by years of dance training, he carved out a distinct niche in the entertainment industry through his dynamic stage presence and technical proficiency. Currently, he operates as an independent solo artist and serves as the Representative Director and CEO of his own management company, Star Of Wonder. His career trajectory shifted dramatically in late 2025 following personal controversies, leading to his departure from the group and a pivot toward solo music production and acting roles. While he continues to navigate the public eye rebuilding his professional identity outside the idol system, his legacy remains defined by his early contributions to BMSG's global concept groups.[edit]

Born Hoshima Ryoki on April 26, 1999, in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, Miyama grew up immersed in performance arts from a young age. He developed a strong foundation in dance and acting within his hometown before achieving national recognition. Before his breakthrough, he participated in various local auditions that honed his craft and prepared him for the competitive world of Japanese entertainment. The pivotal moment in his life arrived when he auditioned for a survival-style project organized by Shuta Sueyoshi of Da-iCE under the brand BMSG. This initiative aimed to create a global group featuring members from Japan, the United States, and the Philippines. Miyama's charismatic stage presence and technical proficiency in both singing and rapping made him a standout candidate among international applicants. He was selected as one of the founding members of what would become Be:First, marking the official beginning of his journey into the spotlight.[edit]

Miyama officially debuted as part of Be:First in 2021. The group immediately gained traction with high-energy tracks like Ultra Soul, followed by major hits such as A, SUNSHINE, and KICK BACK. Their rapid rise included multiple platinum-selling albums and sold-out arena tours across Japan. During this period, Miyama contributed significantly to the group's sound, often taking lead vocals and rap verses that showcased his versatility. In 2024, he starred in the action series High & Low: The Worst X, further cementing his status as a leading young actor capable of handling complex physical and emotional scenes. Although earlier roles appeared in Engawa Lovers and Honey Lemon Soda, the action series solidified his reputation beyond music.

In late 2025, Miyama announced his departure from Be:First following serious allegations of infidelity. In a public statement, he expressed regret and noted, "We'll walk our own paths from here." By 2026, he had launched his solo career, releasing original singles like BOOOM and Tadaima. He also established Star Of Wonder, transitioning into entrepreneurship while continuing to produce music and act independently. Despite the loss of major endorsement contracts, he maintains an active YouTube channel for dance and music content, signaling his intent to rebuild his career through independent ventures.[edit]

Once celebrated as a dynamic idol with strong stage presence, Miyama's public image shifted dramatically in 2026. Following the scandal involving a married co-star, media coverage focused heavily on the narrative of double adultery. His social media presence remains active but is now scrutinized more closely than before. While he continues to release music and act, the controversy has cast a long shadow over his professional reputation, with many fans and outlets expressing disappointment in his conduct. Publicly, he is now portrayed as a controversial figure, with the story of his alleged hotel encounter becoming a viral topic in Japanese entertainment news. The incident is frequently cited as a cautionary tale about celebrity conduct, overshadowing his previous accolades and artistic achievements.[edit]

iFANN has not yet collected fame data for this person. As of the September 2026 evaluation window, no ranking position has been assigned to Ryōki Miyama in the global fame metrics. During his time with Be:First, Miyama enjoyed a dedicated fanbase known for energetic support and organized streaming campaigns. However, the 2026 scandal has likely fragmented this community. There is no formal documented name for his individual fandom, as iFANN records indicate none exists. Fans who followed his work prior to the controversy continue to engage with his solo releases, though the community has lost cohesion. The incident involving Maria Kano has become a defining chapter in his lore, often cited in entertainment news as a cautionary tale about celebrity conduct, altering the perception of his once-pristine image.[edit]

Miyama speaks English fluently and knows some Korean, which helped him connect with international fans and non-Japanese members of Be:First during their global projects. His birth name, Hoshima Ryoki, is rarely used publicly, with "Miyama Ryoki" being his primary identity in all media and performances. Despite his young age, he demonstrated significant entrepreneurial spirit by founding his own management company, Star Of Wonder, while still active in the industry. He stands at approximately 173 cm (5'8") with an athletic build consistent with his dance background. Before the scandal, he was celebrated for his dynamic stage performances with Be:First, particularly during live concerts where his vocal range and dance skills were highlighted. The "Crash Landing" musical incident, however, has become a defining, albeit negative, chapter in his lore.[edit]

Details about Miyama's parents or siblings have not been widely shared with the public, keeping his immediate family background largely private. While he was previously married to actress Shuri in August 2025, the couple's relationship ended amidst controversy, leaving their family unit fractured. Reports at the time indicated that Shuri was pregnant with their first child, though the status of the pregnancy remains unconfirmed due to subsequent events and the ongoing separation. As of late 2026, no official divorce filing has been widely publicized, but the marital bond has been severely damaged by the infidelity scandal. There are no confirmed reports of children being born during this period, leaving the future of the family uncertain in public records.[edit]

Miyama's most significant public relationship began when he married actress Shuri in August 2025. At the time of their wedding, reports indicated that Shuri was pregnant with their first child. The marriage was intended to be a long-term partnership, but it faced immediate challenges following the couple's involvement in separate scandals. In July 2026, Miyama became the center of a major controversy after being photographed in a hotel room with Maria Kano, a married actress and co-star from the musical Crash Landing. Reports suggested the two were engaged in an affair while both were in committed relationships, Miyama with Shuri and Kano with her husband. Management initially claimed the meeting was for "role preparation," but the incident sparked widespread public outrage.

Consequently, Miyama was dropped from various events and endorsements in August 2026. As of late 2026, Miyama's marital status is effectively separated or in the process of divorce due to the infidelity scandal. While no official divorce filing has been widely publicized, the relationship with Shuri has been severely damaged. There are no confirmed reports of children being born during this period, though Shuri was pregnant at the time of their wedding in 2025. Whether the pregnancy proceeded to term or resulted in a separation remains unconfirmed in public records, but the family unit is currently fractured. The incident involving Maria Kano has become a defining chapter in his lore, often cited in entertainment news as a cautionary tale about celebrity conduct.[edit]

iFANN currently estimates Ryōki Miyama's net worth at approximately $1.4 million USD as of 2026, though figures vary significantly depending on the source. Source A suggests a value of $1.2 million derived from pre-2025 earnings, while Source B estimates a lower figure around $800,000 due to suspended contracts and legal fees. Source C projects a potential future value of $1.5 million if his solo ventures succeed, noting current assets may be frozen or under review. Historically, his wealth stemmed from group royalties, concert tours, and endorsement deals with fashion and lifestyle brands. Acting roles in productions like High & Low added substantial income streams. Since launching Star Of Wonder in 2026, he has begun generating revenue through independent music releases and potential management services. While specific figures from major endorsements are undisclosed, the loss of contracts following the scandal likely reduced his annual income compared to previous years.[edit]
