## Career & History

Nako officially debuted with HKT48 in November of 2013.

On October 29, 2018, Nako made her official Korea debut with IZ\*ONE. During her promotions with IZ\*ONE she went on hiatus with AKB48 to promote with IZ\*ONE. After IZ\*ONE disbanded she returned to Japan to continue promoting under AKS.

On April 29, 2021, IZ\*ONE officially disbanded after the end of their contract. Nako returned to HKT48 for future promotions. However, fans have noticed that Nako's birthday is not listed on HKT48's official calendar which usually happens when a member graduates. So there are rumors that Nako could be graduating from the group as well, but nothing is confirmed.

On October 16, 2022, during HKT48's 11th anniversary live, Yabuki announced her graduation from the group to pursue career as an actress. Her graduation ceremony will be held in Spring 2023.
