KAT-TUN is a unit of Johnny's Jr., a very large group of boys that have not yet made their professional debut.Although they have released a concert DVD which features approximately 10-15 of their songs. Before joining KAT-TUN, each member belonged to different Junior units. In 2001, Kinki Kids member Koichi Domoto personally picked 6 Johnny's Jr. members to be his back dancers in the NHK music program, Pop Jam. He chose Kamenashi, Akanishi, Taguchi, Tanaka, Ueda and Nakamaru to join each other under the unit name of KAT-TUN. Initially, KAT-TUN was only meant to be a dancing unit to support Koichi Domoto. However, KAT-TUN gained a great deal of attention so the formation was maintained and KAT-TUN remains a solid unit. Their debut was announced January 29, 2006. This was a long-awaited event for both the members and their fans. The debut is to be accompanied by a concert tour of Japan. With the release of their album, single and DVD, KAT-TUN broke numerous records.They are the first artist to debut at #1 on all three Oricon charts. However, they are the second artist to top all three charts. The first artist to do so was Ayumi Hamasaki. They are also the artist with the highest debut sales for a single and also hold the record for the highest opening DVD sales. Their single "Real Face" also topped the Oricon charts for 3 weeks, making them the first artist in the millenium to do so. Kamenashi Kazuya is affectionately called Kame and is one of the two most popular members of KAT-TUN. Although the youngest member of KAT-TUN, he is considered the group's "unofficial leader". He works extremely hard, and is really talented in baseball. Being good in public speaking, he is often appointed as the main speaker whenever KAT-TUN does their MC on TV programs or concerts. Kame usually leads KAT-TUN's participation in musicals, because Kitagawa Johnny feels he has the most to offer in those areas where talent is concerned. With Jin, he is the main vocalist of the group. He starred in Gokusen 2 with Jin and as a result, earned an award for best male supporting actor. Even before that, Kame had starred in the 5th season of the Kinpachi Sensei series. He has also starred in Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo (2005) and Nobuta. wo Proce (野ブタ。をプロデュース) along with Yamashita Tomohisa from NewS, for which he scored another award, this time for best male lead actor. The two of them have also released a single called "Seishun Amigo" under the unit name Shuuji to Akira which also features the song "Kizuna" which he had written the lyrics for (it was used in the dorama Gokusen 2). The single had sold over one million copies in four weeks and is the No. 1 best selling single on the Oricon Charts of 2005. Akanishi Jin has some affectionate nicknames from fans. Jin is one of them, but there is also Bakanishi (baka literally means stupid; because he often acts childishly). With Kame, he is one of the two most famous KAT-TUN members. He plays the guitar, has a fabulous voice, and writes many songs for himself and KAT-TUN ("Care", "Hesitate", "Love or Like, "Murasaki""). He starred in Gokusen 2 with Kame, Anego, and a dorama special called Kurisumasu Nante Daikirai (I Hate Christmas). Taguchi Junnosukeis known as Junno. This tallest member of KAT-TUN is currently addicted to tap dancing. His trademarks are the acrobatic stunts he performs in their shows, despite being the tallest of them all, and also his smile, which has been described as 'invincible'. In 2004, Junno injured his knee and has had to take a few months' break from group activities after surgery. Junno has also acted alongside his senior from SMAP Nakai Masahiro's film "Mohouhan" (The Copycat) in 2002. He also starred in "Ganbatte ikimasshoi" with Nishikido Ryo from NEWS. Junno is left-handed. Tanaka Koki naturally gets called Koki. His role in the group is as the main rapper. He writes most of the rap lyrics in their recent original songs and has started to write his own solo rap songs. His style is hip-hop, and he likes to protray a cuddly personality that is at odds with his image. Koki pairs up with Nakamaru most of the time and they have a comedic unit called TaNaka (TAnaka - NAKAmaru). Ueda Tatsuya, the appointed and official leader of the group, is one of KAT-TUN's most 'striking' members because he tends to change his image a lot he has been criticized for being "fake" in terms of personality. He is infamous for crying onstage when Nishikido Ryo asked him, "Who are you?" Ryo asked this because Ueda used to wear all sorts of creepy jewelry and goth clothing, and he looked like he was putting up a facade, trying to be someone else. He is called by the rest of KAT-TUN as Tat-chan. He is learning the English and French language (just like Gackt does - he's a big fan of Gackt, to the point that he was obsessed with looking exactly like Gackt for a long period of time), and prefers songwriting to acting even if he only has a total of two songs to his name. His solo song Love in Snow in their Kaizokuban concert was originally made by him, both lyrics and music. So far, he is the only member of KAT-TUN who still doesn't have a drama. Hopefully, it'll stay that way. Nakamaru Yuichi, or Maru, the oldest member, is very funny. He proves that by being in the TaNaka comedy unit with Koki. Maru's trademark skill is his human beatbox (sound of beats he creates with his mouth) that gets incorporated in KAT-TUN's songs a lot. Because of this skill, he seems to be gaining more popularity recently and his song "Aishiteru Aishiterunai" is very popular. He is sometimes called Nakama.
