Biography[]
In 2009, Icch-P decided that while making her new collective group made up of fresh new girls (which resulted in DreamS), she decided to also produce a new collective group made up of boy bands. Auditions were held around the same time as the DreamS auditions, and picked a total of 15 boys. They all started off as the junior program, Little Ouji, also known as Hoshiboshi Kenshuusei.
Nine months into the program, Icch-P produced and picked 5 Kenshuusei to become the main group of HoshiBoshi, called "HI-5". They debuted on September 14, with "Lady Diamond".
As of July 2013, there are 18 Little Oujis, and 4 groups.
