She joined Morning Musume as the only seventh generation member and as the youngest soloist to debut in Hello! Project, being only twelve years old when she joined. Before she joined Morning Musume, she was the captain of her school's volleyball team. Kusumi's audition process and debut was documented during the 2005 episodes of TV Tokyo television show, Hello! Morning.
Koharu Kusumi joined Morning Musume in 2005 as the only seventh generation member.
Kusumi has been a member of the Hello! Project kickball team Metro Rabbits H.P. since its formation in the beginning of 2006 and since April 7, 2006, she has been the voice actress for Kirari Tsukishima, the main character in the anime Kirarin Revolution (きらりん☆レボリューション?).
In early 2007, Kusumi was chosen to be a member of Morning Musume Tanjō 10 Nen Kinentai (モーニング娘。誕生10年記念隊?)—a unit created to celebrate Morning Musume's 10th anniversary as a group. Morning Musume Tanjō 10 Nen Kinentai also consisted of Kaori Iida, Natsumi Abe, Maki Goto and Risa Niigaki. Their first single, "Bokura ga Ikiru My Asia" (僕らが生きるMy Asia?), was released on January 24, 2007.
Apart from her activities in aforementioned units, Kusumi is also a member of Kira Pika with ℃-ute's Mai Hagiwara and Milky Way with Hello Project Eggs members Yuu Kikkawa (who also auditioned for Morning Musume back in 2006) and Sayaka Kitahara. Both units were formed for the Kirarin Revolution anime, which ended in March 2009. Kusumi is currently a regular on the TV Tokyo children's show Oha Suta, appearing every Tuesday.
In 2009, Kusumi was assigned to be apart of the new shuffle group, ZYX a along with Niigaki Risa, Umeda Erika, Ogawa Saki, Wada Ayaka, Tsugunaga Momoko, and Sudou Maasa.
After the first performance at Morning Musume's 2009 Fall Tour Nine Smile, an announcement was made that Kusumi would graduate from Morning Musume and Hello! Project in December 2009.[1] According to the official announcement, she is planning to be a model, similar to Erika Umeda (C-ute)'s graduation purpose.[2] Her graduation will mark the end of the longest stable lineup of Morning Musume (the group had gone just over 2 years without any change in membership, the longest in its history), as it will be the first change in the group's roster since the departures of Hitomi Yoshizawa and Miki Fujimoto in 2007.
