Thoroughly shocked that Yonemura isn't the leader. She's been the defacto leader and face of not just the group since it's announcement but the entire Kenshuusei lineup for the last few years. They usually go by seniority of joining the company/group and then by age but It seems like they went strictly by age this time.

New KSS Unit formed and to be called Kenshusei Unit '22 Since the original 4 members had debuted with OCHA NORMA, an all new KSS unit is formed again. (L to R) Matsubara Yuria, Onoda Karin, Hashida Honoka, Murakoshi Ayana & Uemura Hasumi
Yeah, I figured that this would be the route they took with Yuria. She doesn't really fit the atmosphere of the current groups yet she just won this years KSS Skills Test so she would have to debut as she is the current strongest KSS. This new group looks like it will be youthful and cutesy like the old Country Girls used to be at debut
