 Name: 亀梨和也 ( かめなし かずや ) Name (romaji): Kamenashi Kazuya Nicknames: Kame, Kame-chan, Ka-kun Profession: Actor, singer and host Birthdate: 1986-Feb-23 Birthplace: Edogawa, Tokyo, Japan Height: 171cm Weight: 54kg Star sign: Pisces Blood type: B Family: Two older brothers, one younger brother, and one niece Kamenashi Kazuya is the youngest member of KAT-TUN. Often described as the most dependable, he serves as co-lead vocalist with Akanishi and the two are debatably the most popular members of the group. He is noted for his talent in baseball, having once represented Japan in a world tournament as a child though he had to give up dreams of playing professionally after joining JE. Kamenashi debuted before the rest of the group as part of Shūji to Akira whose only song, "Seishun Amigo", became 2005's number one single in Japan with over 1.6 million copies sold to date. An established actor with award-winning performances in television dramas Nobuta wo Produce and Gokusen 2, he has also appeared in Yuuki, Tatta Hitotsu no Koi, Suppli and 1 Pound no Fukuin.  Name: 赤西仁 Name (romaji): Akanishi Jin Nicknames: Bakanishi Profession: Singer and actor Birthdate: 1984-July-04 Birthplace: Tokyo, Japan Height: 176cm Weight: 64kg Star sign: Cancer Blood type: O Family: Younger brother (Akanishi Reio) Akanishi Jin is the second lead vocalist. Never afraid to speak his mind, Akanishi is opinionated in nature and holds no qualms about following his own path; a prime example would be his six-month hiatus from October 2006 to April 2007 to study English in Los Angeles just as KAT-TUN were six months into their debut. Most of the group's second studio album did not feature him due to his absence. Akanishi plays the guitar and is a budding songwriter having written several songs for the group and himself. Also an actor, he has had roles in Gokusen 2, anego, and Yukan Club and made his debut as a seiyū in 2008 providing the voice for Speed Racer in the Japanese-dubbed version of Speed Racer.  Name: 田口淳之介 Name (romaji): Taguchi Junnosuke Nicknames: Junno, Jun, Taguchi-kun, Junnosukebe (sukebe=dirty) Profession: Actor, singer and dancer Birthdate: 1985-Nov-29 Birthplace: Kanagawa, Japan Height: 182cm Weight: 64kg Star sign: Sagittarius Blood type: AB Family: Three older sisters, and one brother Taguchi Junnosuke is the tallest member of the group. Recognised by his bandmates for being good at acrobatics, he needed an operation in February 2004 after sustaining a bad knee injury during rehearsals and did not return until August 2004. Taguchi is known as the most light-hearted member with a carefree-like nature. Often picked on by the other members for his frequent use of dajare (Japanese word puns), he also has a tendency to randomly jump between topics during talks and interviews leading the others to label him "KY" (a person who is unable to read an atmosphere properly). Taguchi is an award-winning actor with roles in Mohou-han, Ganbatte Ikimasshoi, Happy!, Happy! 2, Hanayome to Papa and Yukan Club.  Name: 田中聖 ( たなか こうき ) Name (romaji): Tanaka Koki Profession: Actor and singer Birthdate: 1985-Nov-05 Birthplace: Chiba, Japan Height: 170cm Weight: 55kg Star sign: Scorpio Blood type: B Tanaka Koki performs most of the rap lyrics, which he writes himself. Though he wanted to leave KAT-TUN when it was first formed, he changed his mind after the group held their first concert. Influenced by hip-hop and reggae at an early age, he found the task of rapping in an idol group made easier due to Shō Sakurai's breakthrough for Arashi. Often seen as grumpy or scary at first glance due to his atypical non-idol appearance, several of his JE peers and bandmates have regardless described him as being very affable and family-oriented in reality. Artistically inclined, Tanaka can illustrate well and designs his own apparel. With bandmate Nakamaru, they make up a comedic unit, TaNaka (a portmanteau of their surnames). An actor who won multiple awards for his performance in My Boss, My Hero, he has also appeared in Byakkotai, Tatta Hitotsu no Koi and took on his first lead role in 2007 in Tokkyu Tanaka 3 Go.  Name: 上田竜也 Name (romaji): Tatsuya Ueda Nicknames: Tat-chan, Ueda, Uebo, Uepi, Uepopu Profession: Singer Birthdate: 1983-Oct-04 Birthplace: Kanagawa, Japan Height: 171 cm Weight: 53 kg Star Sign: Libra Blood type: B Ueda Tatsuya is the quietest member and though by no means a wallflower, he rarely speaks unless spoken to and has been descibed as living in a world of his own by his bandmates. Ironically, he chose to become KAT-TUN´s leader at first but later quit because he could not handle being scolded during dance rehearsals, also denoting his sensitive nature. Ueda plays the piano and guitar and is an able composer and lyricist, having written songs for the group and himself. He is the first KAT-TUN member to hold a series of solo concerts in Sepmtember 2008 performing songs across various genres, such as rock, dance, ballad, and folk, all of which he penned himself. Ueda is an avid boxer and has enough skill in the sport for him to be advised by professionals to get a professional boxing license. He is also the only member to have never actes in a television drama or movie to date.  Name: 中丸雄一 Name (romaji): Nakamaru Yuichi Nicknames: Yuu-chan, Maru Profession: Actor and singer Birthdate: 1983-Sept-04 Birthplace: Tokyo, Japan Height: 176cm Weight: 55kg Star Sign: Virgo Blood Type: O Family: Two younger sisters Nakamaru Yuichi is the oldest member of the group. The first JE idol to prominently showcase beatboxing and vocal percussion ability, Nakamaru learned by diligently studying hundreds of examples from hip-hop albums after KAT-TUN was formed. His primary motivation was to set himself apart from the rest of the members since he did not want to be seen as dull. He often shares MC duties with Kamenashi but in private, is rather shy and reserved and whose meek nature particularly shows when amongst strangers. He is currently studying at Waseda University reading Environmental Studies. He is also the first member to do a solo stage show -- performing songs, dance, beat boxing and skits for two weeks in August 2008. Signature  | |||
