Nakamaru Yuichi





FACTS ABOUT MARU:
His nickname is "Yu", so when he went to the first Johnny's audition and Johnny-san called out: "Hey, YOU!" in English, Maru thought: "How does he know my name?!".
He also gets called "Yucchi", "Yuichi" and "Maru".
He hates being "N" in KAT-TUN because he's last in everything. He thinks people only like his beat-boxing and that apart from that people don't notice him.
KAT-TUN always mock him and say "Your wig's on wrong!" and "Why don't you pluck your eyebrows?".
He thinks he looks like a koala bear because of his nose.
He met his ideal girl in a dream, but he didn't know she was the one at first. He didn't really notice her, but gradually her kindness and friendly attitude won his heart and he fell in love with her after many dreams.
He loves strawberries and strawberry picking.

This is my little page for Koki Tanaka .



KOKI'S TALENTS:
- Rapping -Guitar
- Lyric writing -Break dancing
- Dancing -English
- Singing

Koki is known as merely "the rapper". But behind his cool, sometimes scary act, Koki has a big adorable personality. While the other members concentrate so hard on acting mature and serious, Koki keeps KAT-TUN light-hearted. He puts on a big show of craziness to make people smile, making faces and doing silly actions on stage.

Off-camera he is a warm and gentle person (this is agreed by the other members of KAT-TUN), who loves animals with such a passion that he wants to someday live surrounded by them. He wants a big family, because he loves children, and wants a wife he can spoil rotten. One of his hobbies is actually reading wildlife books!

Koki loves the US and speaks quite a lot of English. Any English you hear in his raps is always written by him, and with interesting phrases like "the die is cast", he's pretty impressive. He loves to write lyrics, though people often ignore his intelligent and unique lyrics because he raps them.

Nakamaru is his best friend, although before KAT-TUN were formed they barely ever spoke. The two of them seem to share a kind of private friendship that isn't easily noticed by outsiders, since both of the boys are private types of people. But off-camera Koki is an affectionate person, and Nakamaru recieves most of his affections.

Koki also has an odd kind of obsession with Jin. In the 2003 rap "SIX GROOVE", he wrote about Jin: "He has a dirty body and a sexy voice...". And when Jin dressed up as a nurse for the KAT-TUN Clinic sketch, Koki wrote a poem saying "your nurse uniform made my heart 'hira-hira'." He thinks Jin makes a very sexy woman, and was also quoted as saying that if he had to choose a member of KAT-TUN to be his lover, it would be Jin. ;-_-

That doesn't mean Koki is gay, though. A while ago he was dating a sexy female model, even though it was against the company rules. When they ended up breaking up, his reason was: "It was based on lust and not love." Although Koki likes sexy women , he is a great believer in true love and wants to marry the right woman someday. She has to be a big lover of kids and animals to fit in with his dream, and he has an appealing fate in store for the lucky girl: "I'll go anywhere for her, do anything for her, whatever she wants. If she said she wanted something from a place miles away, I'd get on a train right away and go get it for her."

Taguchi Junnosuke





FACTS ABOUT JUNNO:
While KAT-TUN were performing in the theatre production "Dream Boy", Junno sustained a serious back injury in rehearsals. He was in hospital for months and got very lonely. During his stay in hospital he became more humble and less confident in himself. Because the other KAT-TUN members didn't visit him much, he thought no one liked him. But then they came and brought gifts, and soon Junno was recovering well. He managed to overcome his back injury and return to dancing and acrobatics.
He didn't use to like Kame, and would complain about him behind his back.
He thinks that living together before marraige is the wrong thing to do, and that couples should show commitment.
He admires Koichi Domoto from the KinKi Kids.

JIN QUOTES:
"Car shrimp."
"Go take a shower. Brush your teeth. Don't catch flu. Very good."
"I want four children right now."







FACTS ABOUT JIN:
His real name is Akanishi Hitoshi, but he changed it when he became famous because he thought that "Hitoshi" was too common.
He has a little brother Akanishi Reio (17yrs) in a band called "D-Boys".
When he was younger one of his family members pushed him overboard on a cruise, and he nearly drowned.
Some of his hobbies are: playing the guitar, writing songs, learning English, shopping and computer games.
He originally failed the Johnny's Jrs audition, but on his way out he met Johnny who liked him and so let him join. (Edited because of translation error)
His type of girl is young, high-school age, plump but not fat, sexy but without acting it, with common sense and nice lips, kind, one who doesn't dress "scandalously".
He has a belly-button piercing and one or two ear piercings.
He wanted to be an actor so that he could kiss lots of beautiful women.
He has an obsession with America and England, and wants to try a homestay in one of the countries someday.
He writes more of KAT-TUN's songs than people think - Ueda revealed that Jin doesn't take credit for a lot of the songs he makes.
In his sleep he sometimes shouts out words in English (like "Stop!").
He is very ticklish on his collar-bone.
He says that Yamashita Tomohisa (YamaP) is his best friend, but Kame is the person he cares most about in the world.
His first kiss was with the star of the drama "Anego" (the kiss scene in episode 2), for which he was so nervous that he cleaned his teeth before every take (and had to do about 19 takes).

He has two brothers, one older with a daughter, one about 16 years old, and no sisters.



Some of his favourite hobbies are baseball, camping, surfing, keep-fit, and swimming.

Kame (the nickname of Kazuya Kamenashi) comes across as the real leader of KAT-TUN. Koki thinks so, too. Kame is the unofficial spokesman, tends to sing more parts than the other members and, of course, his name comes first in the initials "KAT-TUN". What might surprise you, then, is to know that he isn't a very confident person.

When he was talking to Jin about the drama they were about to film (Gokusen 2), both of them confessed that they were very nervous about working with the cast. Jin revealed that he was shy, and that he was worried that the young people wouldn't like him (thinking himself "MAX loud" to an irritating level). Then Kame replied that he was also shy. Jin didn't actually believe him, but Kame went on to explain that he always worries about how he comes across to other people. He also said that he's a solitary person, who finds it difficult to spend too much time with people.

Although Kame comes across on-screen as very confident and self-assured, he is actually a self-conscious person. When he gets nervous he tends to lick his lips - and he does this quite a lot. Ryo Nishikido mistook this habit for Kame trying to be sexy, but Kame told him that he can't help doing it when he's really nervous. He is also a nervous speaker (surprisingly), and spends a lot of time practicing his speech in private. He said that he always forgets to slow down when he speaks, and so he muddles up words. Therefore he practices saying "ka ki ku ke ko, ma mi mu me mo...", etc quickly to train himself not to muddle the letters up.

Kame is very close to his family. His dad always took him to watch baseball games and play together since he was little, so now Kame loves baseball more than anything. His older brother, who is married with a little daughter, let's Kame babysit his child sometimes. Kame loves his niece, and says he is becoming more and more skilful at calming her down when she cries, with gentle kisses. With his mother, Kame relies on her for a lot of things. She wakes him up in the morning, massages him when he is tired from work, and cooks him wonderful meals. Kame, in turn, helps her with the housework and goes shopping for her sometimes. With his little brother, Kame plays baseball with him and affectionately calls him a "little punk" because his throw is better than his own.

One thing that is especially admirable about Kame is his determined spirit. He will try and try again until he gets things right. He is very hardworking and faces his fears head-on. Though he is terrified of heights, he persevered and conquered his fear while performing in Dream Boy and Summary (he had to bungee jump and everything!). Though he is quite shy, he throws himself into groups and is cheerful and friendly. Though he is intimidated by women, he insists that he would not hesitate to grab his girlfriend's hand if she was too shy to hold his. He wants a girl as optimistic and strong-willed as he is, with a pure spirit and a clever mind.
