Trivia

  • His image color in Kanjani8 is yellow.
  • A big fan of Saito Kazuyoshi.
  • His parents are Kyushuan immigrants. His father is from Amakusa (Kumamoto Prefecture), and his mother is from Amami (Kagoshima Prefecture).
  • Yokoyama Yu gave him the nickname "Dokkun" because of his sharp tounge.
  • Is a good cook.
  • Has, actually, cried over food. It was apparently very delicious.
  • Calls his mother "Kaachan" (mommy).

  • Has got the nickname "Nikki" from a cameraman who works at the magazine Myojo.
  • Loves to play the guitar, usually he plays it when he stays at home.
  • Until he was around 16 years old he was only 150 cm tall and used to jump a lot in order to make other people believe he was taller.
  • He donated some of his earnings from 1 Litre of Tears to the research for the cure of Spinocerebellar Degeneration, Aya Kito's disease in 1 Liter of Tears.
  • Has a tendency to lie a lot. Though, differently from Subaru he admits that he lied just a little while afterward.
  • Has been the victim of bad press among international fans, who make him out to be vindictive, spiteful and (in extreme cases) actually insane.

  • Loves to tell his friends to cut their hair and bug them about it until they do. Recent 'victims' include Kato Shigeaki and Yamashita Tomohisa.
