The following members are native to Team A and hold a dual position outside of AKB48.

Information

On June 2005, Akimoto Yasushi had his first audition for his "Akihabara 48 Project", a project for a group that featured 48 girls who performed in their own theater. By October, he had picked 24 girls to be the first group of members for what came to be known as AKB48, and on December 8, 2005, 20 girls debuted in the Akihabara 48 Theater. At the end of Team A's first stage, Usami Yuki graduated to pursue a career in gravure.

On 2007, it was announced that Team A (who had just finished their fourth stage) and Team K (who had just finished their third would be performing together as Himawari-gumi, a team of mixed Team A and K members who performed two stages together. At the time, it was unclear whether they would revert back to their original teams after the run.

In August 2009, it was announced that the AKB48 teams would be shuffled in 2010.

On April 2012, founding member Maeda Atsuko announced her graduation from the group, and graduated on August 27, 2012.

On June 2012, Sashihara Rino was transferred to HKT48 following a scandal.

On August 24, 2012, the teams were shuffled as part of the Tokyo Dome Team Shuffle. These changes took effect starting November 2012.

On April 28, 2013, a minor team shuffle occured during the AKB48 Group Rinji Soukai "Shirokuro tsukeyou janai ka!" in which:

On June 8, 2013, during the AKB48 5th Annual General Election, founding member Shinoda Mariko announced her graduation from the group, and graduated on July 21, 2013.

On November 10, 2013, during the AKB48 Group Draft Kaigi 2013, Takita Kayoko and Nishiyama Rena were drafted to Team A.

On February 24, 2014, it was announced during the AKB48 Group Daisokaku Matsuri that the teams would be shuffled and would take effect starting April 2014.

On May 25, 2014, members Iriyama Anna and Kawaei Rina were injured along with a staff member and other fans during a handshake event in Iwate. Both members took a break to recover from their injuries. Kawaei returned to the theater on October 8, 2014, while Iriyama returned on February 13, 2015.

On December 8, 2014, during AKB48's ninth anniversary show, founding member Takahashi Minami announced her graduation from the group, which was set for December 8, 2015, the group's tenth anniversary. Due to production delay, her graduation ceremony was postponed to March 26-27, 2016, while her last theater performance was postponed on April 8, 2016.
