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

The following members are native to AKB48 Team 8 and hold a dual position with Team B.

Information

AKB48 held its third audition in 2006, and the 3rd generation of members who were meant to be Team B made their first appearance in the theater on December 8, 2006. Around the same time, it was announced that Urano Kazumi, Hirajima Natsumi, Masuyama Kayano and Watanabe Shiho would be transferred to Team B to act as a teacher figure for the new members. After Orii Ayumi's graduation, however, Masuyama Kayano remained in Team A.

Team B debuted on April 8, 2008, and performed two revival stages throughout 2007. After Team B's first stage, Watanabe Shiho graduated from AKB48 and was replaced by Saeki Mika, the first kenkyuusei to be promoted to a team. In February, 2008, they began performing their first original stage. In August, 2008, Kikuchi Ayaka was fired due to a scandal.

In August 2009, Saeki Mika graduated and the announcement was made that the teams would be shuffled in October 2009.

In January 2012, Hirajima Natsumi (and Yonezawa Rumi) was caught in a scandal and withdrew. Then in March 2012, during AKB48's concert in Saitama Super Arena, it was announced that Watanabe Miyuki from NMB48 Team N would be joining Team B through a concurrent position, as well as continuing her activities with Team N.

On February 21, 2016, AKB48 Taiwan Audition winner Ma Chia-Ling was promoted to Team B after moving to Tokyo. Her first team song was Koi wo Suru to Baka wo Miru, which was a coupling song for the single Tsubasa wa Iranai.

On March 31, 2016, Kobayashi Kana's graduation decreased the number of Team B members to 16, making Team B the first AKB48 team to have 16 members, and making Koi wo Suru to Baka wo Miru the first AKB48 team song to have 16 members, since the teams were expanded in the Tokyo Dome Team Shuffle in 2012.

On April 8, 2017, founding member Tanabe Miku announced her graduation from the group.

On June 17, 2017, founding member Watanabe Mayu announced her graduation from the group during the AKB48 49th Single Senbatsu Sousenkyo. Her graduation concert was held on December 26, 2017, while her last performance with the group was held on December 31, 2017.
