Kaoru Mitsumune is a Japanese actress, model, artist, and former idol, known for her brief but highly notable time as a member of AKB48. She joined the group in 2011 as part of the 13th generation and was quickly pushed as a prominent new face due to her striking and androgynous visuals, often drawing comparisons to established celebrities and gaining significant media attention. She was selected for high-profile appearances despite being a trainee, which sparked both interest and controversy among fans. However, Mitsumune’s time in AKB48 was short-lived. In 2012, she withdrew from the group due to health issues, including physical and mental exhaustion. After leaving AKB48, she continued working in entertainment as an actress and fashion model, appearing in dramas and films. In later years, she became more focused on her work as an artist and illustrator, gaining recognition for her detailed pen art and creative exhibitions. She has also spoken publicly about struggles with eating disorders and mental health, which led to further career pauses.
