Kazuha (Nakamura Kazuha) is the Japanese main dancer of the HYBE and Source Music girl group LE SSERAFIM, which debuted on May 2, 2022 with the mini album FEARLESS. She came to K-pop from a ballet path, having trained for about 15 years and studied at the Dutch National Ballet Academy before sending in an audition video. Her ballet roots are written into group choreography such as "Blue Flame" and "ANTIFRAGILE". Beyond the stage she has been a beauty muse for Etude House and a Calvin Klein collaborator, and in January 2026 she landed her first solo fashion magazine cover since debut. In autumn 2026 she is on the PUREFLOW world tour, where a stop in the Netherlands, her former study base, left her emotional.
Where they grew up
Kazuha began ballet at age 3 when her mother signed her up for classes, and she kept attending them for about 15 years. She says the start was not planned, but competitions later turned her interest toward professional ballet. She went on to study at the Dutch National Ballet Academy in the Netherlands. During the COVID-19 pandemic she sent an audition video to Source Music, which led to her place in LE SSERAFIM. One of her big dance inspirations is Jimin of BTS, who also comes from a more fluid dance background.

In their own words
“The Netherlands is like a terminal that connects the past and the present. I left here alone for debut, but now I have returned as LE SSERAFIM with my precious members.”
“Next time I will come back with a more grown-up self”
“My greatest growth has been in how much my Korean has improved.”
