AKB48 Member History

AKB48's Member History

Members are listed with their team history while in AKB48. It does not include memberships with other sister groups that may have occurred before or after a member's tenure in AKB48, except if they were held as a concurrent position. Temporary members (such as Baito AKB, unless otherwise noted) and sister group members that appeared in AKB48's releases without being fully-fledged members are also excluded from this list. Members who left then rejoined may be listed twice (or more) depending on when they rejoined. Non-consecutive tenures are separated with a semicolon (;).
