Information
Shortly after the debut of AKB48's first sister group SKE48, a tabloid reported that Akimoto Yasushi was looking at expanding with a new group in Fukuoka. However, no further details were presented and it appeared as though the project was scrapped.
In May 2011, however, it was announced that Akimoto would be having auditions for a new group in Hakata, called HKT48. At AKB48's concert in Seibu Dome, the first generation of HKT48 made their first appearance, and they began performing regularly in their theater in November.
In February 2012, 16 girls were chosen as Team H.
In June 2012, it was announced that AKB48 member Sashihara Rino would be transferred to HKT48. Soon after, Oota Aika also transferred to HKT48 from AKB48.
