[edit] Biography
Akanishi is the "A" of KAT-TUN and one of the two most popular members. He became a member of Johnny's Entertainment via audition on November 8, 1998, at the age of 14. He was voted as the best looking member in "KAT-TUN wo Abake", and is always mistaken for a player. Koki Tanaka also stated that Akanishi is extremely suited for female parts (he often plays female parts during skits). Akanishi's weakness is his collarbone, so he screams when someone pinches it.
His nickname Bakanishi was given to him by Tomohisa Yamashita (baka in Japanese means stupid or idiot; because he often acts childishly). He writes many songs for himself and KAT-TUN (Care, Hesitate, Love or Like, Murasaki). He often takes the hardest parts in their songs because of his impressive vocal range.
