Originally, KEN THE 390 planned for Maison B to debut as a 5-member group on "THE NEXT UP~次は君だよ" .
The original lineup consisted of RICK, TECO, LYU, SHOYA and REIJI.
HIKARU and MASATO were added to the group through the duration of the show after being recommended by SHOYA and REIJI respectively.
Their fan name, "MBius" comes from "Maison B" (MB) "Ai/愛/Love" (I) and "Us" (The fans and group together). Their fanclub logo is a Mobius strip, representing the group and fans supporting each other forever.
The official member colors were announced on December 31, 2022.
