| Name: | Domouto Koichi _ 堂本光一 |
|---|---|
| Birthdate: | 1979-01-01 |
[Koichi Domoto 堂本光一 (born January 1, 1979 in Ashiya, Hyogo Prefecture) is a famous talent artist in Japan. He joined Johnny & Associates, an idol agency well-known for producing famous boy-band music groups such as SMAP, TOKIO and SHOUNENTAI, at the age of 12, after his sister sent his profile to Johnny's Agency, famous for its charming male pop idols.
He, together with Tsuyoshi Domoto 堂本剛 formed the group temporarily called Kansai Boya in 1993, and debuted officially as Kinki Kids in 1997 with their best-selling single, Garasu no Shonen, or The Glass Boy. Though the two of them boast the same last name, they are not related. Another charming coincidence is that both of them come from an area in Japan called Kinki, the true inspiration for the namesake despite the double-meaning to the English ear.
Koichi is lovingly nicknamed the 'Prince' by his fans, due to his gentle nature and natural elegance.
He is especially well-known now in Japan having performed for 3 consecutive years in a world-class musical, SHOCK.
Koichi held his first solo concert from March to May, 2004.
His bloodtype is B. He loves cats, but claims that he cannot keep one because of allergies.
Koichi's other hobbies include cars, horseback riding, and dance. He is arguably one of the best dancers in Johnny's Agency, which lead him to aspire to musicals in the future. (here)]
