History

They both joined on May 5, 1991 and met at a Hikaru Genji's concert on the same day. Although they share the same last name, they are not blood related.

In 1992 they started appearing together in magezines. Until this time they didn't have a formal name as a unit. Then on December 31, 1992 they backdanced for SMAP at NHK as "Kanzai Boya". Nakai Masahiro apparently did not approve of this, so when kinki appeared on the first broadcast of KISS shita? SMAP on April 4, 1993 he renamed them KinKi Kids. Using all uppercase Ks became standard in 1994.

Every single released since their debut had been number one, giving them a place in the Guinness Book of World Records.

On November 14, 2007, the 10th Studio Album was released as the 2nd part of the 10th anniversary project (along with the Best-Hit Album "39"). "Φ", which is the first Studio Album not to be a latin alphabet (Since all the albums are titled from A to I), is supposed to unit 1 & 0 as a commemoration for their 10th anniversary. It is featured with the KinKi Kids 10th Anniversary in TOKYO DOME as a DVD, and is supposed to be a different work from usual, by KinKi Kids and fans.

After the year-end tour "We are Ø'n39!! and U?", KinKi Kids is the artist with the most number of perfomances in the New Year's Day (30).
