Close Jr.: Koshioka Yuki, Miyachika Kaito, Nakamura Kaito “I became friends with Miyachika and Nakamura recently. On the bus on tour they always stay by my side, it’s annoying (lol). I’ve also taken them on holiday [?]”
Jr. you think of as your rival: All
First stage: “Music Station” with 100 Jr. in total “It was right after I’d joined, and the Jr. were too energetic, it was incomprehensible!”
Memorable Johnny’s song: “Jounetsu” (KinKi Kids) “It was the song from my first stage, it had funny choreography! During concerts I remember that choreography and feel like I’m gonna laugh. I showed it to (Domoto) Koichi-kun too and he laughed”
Hobby: Tap “Seeing Ninomiya-kun’s live, I thought I’d try it, and started attending a school”

My boom [current obsession]: Tap
Siblings: Older brother (1 year older), younger brother (5 years younger)
Pets: 4 toy poodles “They’re all female, Coco, Jam, Mona, Titi― Coco is Jam’s mother”
Strong point: In any case, cheerful, Yamamoto [TN: a parody on Tonikaku Akarui Yasumura, a comedian] "Even at times when people are quiet or tired, I'm lively!"
Weak point: In any case, stupid “When talking with the members of They Budou, even though the other two understand, I don’t…”
Sporting experience and sports you’re good at: Karate, baseball, soccer “I took karate lessons from 1st or 2nd grade in primary school to 3rd grade of middle school. Baseball and soccer were club activities. I did baseball from 4th to 6th grades of primary school but I switched to soccer as a middle school student. It looked somehow cool ♪”
Favourite phrase: Effort!
Treasure: My beloved dogs
Favourite colour: Yellow “Because it’s my member colour”

I won’t lose to anyone in this thing alone!: Hating to lose
