Early years
Kairi Yagi was born in Hiroshima Prefecture on September 5, 2002. She started to learn dancing when she was young. Recommended by her aunt, she joined Actor's School Hiroshima successfully by passing the solo audition when she was in the fifth grade of elementary school. She continued the school through her junior high school times. At that time, she also took some personal vocal lessons.
Next year, in the school presentation, she was spotted by people in the industry who later recommend her to take part in a singing and acting audition in Tokyo. During the audition, she realized how comfortable singing could be and wants to be an artist that can sing and dance. Meanwhile, she started to learn guitar because she wanted to learn new skills.
