ryopii hasn't gotten into their awesome world of awesome.
THE GROUP:
Kanjani8 is like crack, you get addicted to them. There where 8 guys in this group, but one got kicked out ;A; so right now they are 7. This 7 unique individuals like cosplaying as the Eito Rangers and crossdressing as the 7 Okans, they play their own instruments, which makes them very awesome, the have a lot of songs about their birthplace, Osaka, they are very loud and enjoy gay innuendo and boobs. They love each other a lot, sometimes they bath together, Hina, Subaru and Yoko like prancing around naked in their dressing room leaving their chin-chins hanging out, which bothers Ryo because he secretly enjoys it.

Subaru/Red Ranger/Mrs. Shibutani
Is the pervert of the group. He's the group's main voice, plays the guitar, his voice entrances you, seriously he is great. He also likes wearing long skirts. Subaru is very shy, he doesn't have that much friends outside of eito. He has a tattoo on his left hand of a skull, fans have named it scull-chan. with a C, he got it on his rebellious stage. He also has a piercing on his bellybutton. Subaru can act, but he doesn't a lot of drama roles. Subaru is just an amazing little old man who you'll learn to love. He mostly gets paired up with Yasu, sometimes with Ryo, Maru, once in a while with other JE guy, like Jin.

Uchi Hiroki
|1986.09.10|
Uchi/Pink Ranger/Uchiko
Uchi was kicked out of K8 for something very stupid, but he recently had a solo concert and appeared in the Countdown ;A;, Uchi is K8's princess, Ryo's unofficial girlfriend, has a key for Ryo's appartment, my first lesbian crush. He wasn't there for the Eito Rangers or 7 Okans skits, but the fandom adapted him for them. Now, there are four sides of fandom: The ones that knew Uchi and want him back in, the wants that didn't knew Uchi and couldn't care less, the ones that knew him and couldn't care less, and the ones that didn't knew him and want him back. Uchi case has cause a lot of wank. 8->1. He gets paired up with Ryo (duh.) and Ohkura (I HAVE SEEN FICS. K)
Solos:
Ima, Koko niCrave It Yokoyama "Yuu" Kimitaka
|1981.05.09|
Yoko/Black Ranger/Kimiko
'Yuu' is his stage name, given to him by Johnny because Kimitaka was difficult for him to read, but he ended up calling him Yoko 8). He's Kanjani8's unofficial leader, because he's the oldest. He's shy, really shy &hearts The members have cute nicknames for him "Kimi-kun, Kimi-chan, Yokoccho," they love him. He likes the attention, he's a camwhore. His bf outside of K8 is Aiba from Arashi :3, his little brother wanted to be in JE, but Yoko was all "No. I don't want comparisons", he loves talking and telling K8's funny stories, he's afraid of needles. He gets paired up with Hina, because they have a deep bromance.
Yokoyama Yu loves oppai more than you.
This is the man who said he could tell you who is who in KanJani8 just by seeing their dicks.
Oh yeah.
