Terazono Keita, known simply as Keita, is a Japanese singer, dancer, and member of CIIPHER and EVNNE.
Before debuting, he spent 5 years and 4 months as a trainee at YG Entertainment and the first trainee at YG Japan. He participated in YG’s survival show "Treasure Box" but was eliminated just before the final. In 2019, he moved to Rain Company, where he continued training and finally made his debut in 2021 as CIIPHER’s lead dancer and rapper.
In 2023, he entered MNet’s "Boys Planet", but he ended up in 12th place. However, Jellyfish Entertainment reached an agreement with several agencies and decided to create a second project group (alongside ZEROBASEONE) with the contestants outside the Top 9. Originally, the group’s name was set to be BLIT (short for "Boldly Leaping into Tomorrow"), but after careful discussions, it was decided to change it to EVNNE (short for "Evening’s Newest Etoiles"). The group debuted in September 2023 with the EP "Target Me".
