Early Life[]

Nakanishi Ryoga was born on June 8, 1998, in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan.

He started dancing when he was 4 years old.[1]

With his parents being fans of EXILE, especially his father who had been a fan of HIRO since he was a member of ZOO, the first concert Nakanishi attended was part of the EXILE LIVE TOUR "EXILE PERFECT LIVE 2008" as they brought him along with them. This experience inspired him to become an artist, and he entered EXPG Osaka shortly after at the age of 9.[2][1][3] "I was overwhelmed by their masculinity and aura, so I thought, 'I want to be like this, too'."[3]

Looking back at his childhood, he revealed that he hated to lose, so he worked hard not only in dance, but also in soccer and study. "I was the type to actively run for class committee, executive committee, and so on."[4]

In 2013, he participated in the GLOBAL JAPAN CHALLENGE but failed.[2]

On July 13, he made his major debut in PSYCHIC FEVER with the release of their first studio album P.C.F. Looking back at the time he entered EXPG until his debut, he later recalled: "The number of auditions I passed was small and most of them were setbacks.", "That decision (to move to Tokyo) and the opportunity to accompany Tosaka Hiroomi of Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS on his tour and meet ØMI were the reasons why I am in PSYCHIC FEVER today."[3]
