Information
In December 2005, an audition was held for the second generation of AKB48, Team K. 18 girls were chosen and in April 2006 they started preforming at the AKB48 theater. Their first stage, PARTY ga Hajimaru yo, was recycled from Team A. On June 17th 2006, Uemura Ayako graduated, making her the first Team K member to graduate AKB48.
In August 2009, it was announced that the AKB48 teams would be shuffled in October 2009. The 'new' Team K that was announced included Itano Tomomi, Fujie Reina and Minegishi Minami from Team A, Tanabe Miku, Nakatsuka Tomomi, Nito Moeno and Yonezawa Rumi from Team B, as well as the promotion from AKB48 Kenkyuusei of Uchida Mayumi, Kikuchi Ayaka, Nonaka Misato and Matsui Sakiko.
In June 2010, Ono Erena announced that she would be graduating from AKB48 to focus on her acting at the end of the summer, and shortly after her graduation in September 2010, Yokoyama Yui was promoted to Team K.
In January 2012, Yonezawa Rumi (and Hirajima Natsumi) was caught in a scandal and withdrew. Then in March 2012, at AKB48's concert in Saitama Super Arena, it was announced that SKE48's Matsui Jurina would be joining Team K temporarily, as well as continuing activities with Team S.
