vu-den ( Japanese 美 勇 伝 , Biyūden , also romanized as Biyuuden or Viyuden ) was a band under the Hello! Project . The name is made up of the Japanese characters for beauty ( 美 , bi ), courage ( 勇 , yū ) and legend ( 伝 , den ).
The group was founded after Rika Ishikawa left her previous group Morning Musume in 2004. Although their singles did not sell as well as those of other groups, vu-den was at times one of the busiest bands in Hello! Projects, with their own television and radio shows as well as appearances in films. In June 2008 the group was disbanded. In 2009 there was a revival of the group under the name Zoku vu-den ( 続 · 美 勇 伝 ) with three new members. They released a song on a compilation . The group has been paused ever since. The last active member, Risako Sugaya, left the Hello! Project.
