Trivia
- His image color in Kanjani8 is yellow.
- The nickname "Dokkun" was made up by Yokoyama Yu.
- Is a good cook.
- Best friend is Uchi Hiroki.
- A big fan of Leah Dizon. (Or at least he was until he met her and got embarrassed.)
- Has, actually, cried over food. It was apparently very delicious.
- On his private time he often hangs out with Matsumoto Jun, Yamashita Tomohisa, Yasuda Shota, Ohkura Tadayoshi, Akanishi Jin, and Uchi Hiroki.
- Has got the nickname "Nikki" from a cameraman who works at the magazine Myojo.
- Is known for having a very sharp tongue.
- 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.
- 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.
- Doesn't actually hate Ueda Tatsuya anymore, contrary to popular belief.
- 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.
- Is, according to Yokoyama You, the one in Kanjani8 who makes most of the decisions when it comes to the group, but is by no means the leader.
- He doesn't like talkative girls.
- Has repeatedly made it known that he believes that Japanese people should have black hair; while his has been both brown and blonde, it has never stayed that way for long.
- Has said that if he woke up in a woman's body, his first action would be to touch his breasts.
