History

Ichioka Reina first appeared as a finalist in the Morning Musume 11th Generation ~Suppin Utahime~ Audition in the summer of 2012, but was not chosen as a winner. She later passed a separate audition to became a member of the Hello Pro Kenshuusei in November, and was officially introduced at the December "Hello Pro Kenshuusei Happyoukai 2012 ~12gatsu no Nama Tamago Show!~" concert on December 9, 2012. Prior to appearing in the Morning Musume audition she acted as a model for JS Girl and attended singing and dancing lessons before taking part in the 2011 EXILE audition.

On May 5, 2017 an announcement was made at the end of the "Hello! Project Kenshuusei Happyoukai 2017 ~Haru no Koukai Jitsuryoku Shindan Test~ " event revealing that Ichioka Reina and fellow Kenshuusei members Danbara Ruru and Kawamura Ayano would be debuting within Hello! Project in the future pending discussions with their parents, though it was unspecified as to if they would become part of a new group or join existing groups.

A special edition of the Hello! Project webshow "Hello Station" was released on June 26, 2017, announcing the debut placements of the three previously chosen Hello Pro Kenshuusei members and the group transfers of three Country Girls members.
