Mayu Watanabe (渡辺 麻友, Watanabe Mayu, born March 26, 1994) is a former Japanese singer, actress, and icon of the Japanese girl group AKB48 as a third generation member. She was the face of Team B since its formation, and her selection for the 4th Major Single, "Bingo!" marked the team's debut in an AKB48 single. Among all the original aces of each generation, Watanabe and Minami Takahashi were the only two to ever feature as center on an AKB48 A-Side, and between them, the former alone kept the position as her generation's ace and eventually took the role of absolute center and next face of the entire 48 Group franchise. She is one of the group's famed "Kami 7" along with Atsuko Maeda, Yuko Oshima, Mariko Shinoda, Minami Takahashi, Haruna Kojima, and Tomomi Itano. She was also the center of AKB48 sub-unit, Watarirouka Hashiritai, alongside a solo career. Her agency, Production Ogi, announced her retirement from the entertainment industry on 1 June 2020.
