Aqua5 (presented as AQUA5) was a J-pop ensemble connected to the Takarazuka Revue, consisting of five otokoyaku (performers specializing in male roles) from the Snow Troupe. Their inaugural performance took place on August 25, 2007, during the opening ceremony of the IAAF World Championships hosted in Osaka, Japan.
The group ceased activities in April 2010, with their concluding broadcast on Tokyo Friend Park 2 dated April 5, 2010. This final engagement was verified through an interview published in Takarazuka Graph, marking AQUA5’s last endeavor.
The group's name is inspired by a portion of Natsuki Mizu's name (水夏希), which translates to "water."
On June 9, 2009, AQUA5 presented their debut live concert in Akasaka, Tokyo, attracting an audience of approximately 1,300 attendees. Due to an injury sustained by Kaname Ouki during rehearsals, only four members were able to perform.
