Former NMB48 member Rei Uenishi is set to release her first solo photo book, titled “Rei Uenishi Cosplay Photo Collection #Re-chan Collection,” in early April 2026. The book, published by Shufunotomo Books, showcases Uenishi’s passion for cosplay, a hobby she frequently shares with fans under the moniker “Re-chan.”

Cover and Content Highlights

The photo book’s cover features Uenishi in a streamer-style cosplay, complete with a headset and a gaze fixed on a monitor, creating a blend of intimacy and a cyber aesthetic. Inside, readers will find a diverse range of cosplay looks, including traditional bunny girl and Chinese costumes, as well as more fantastical designs inspired by anime. The photography aims to capture the essence of each character, focusing on details from fingertips to facial expressions.
