• Former member of the popular Japanese Boyband, KAT-TUN. He represented the "A" (for "Akanishi").
• He is close friends with Yamashita Tomohisa and Yuu Shirota.
• He writes his own songs for KAT-TUN (Care, Hesitate, Murasaki, Love or Like) and often takes the hardest parts of their songs because of his impressive vocal range.
