• Name — Kazunari Ninomiya • Native Name — 二宮 和也 • Other Names — Nino • Born — 17 June 1983 • Birthplace — Katsushika, Tokyo, Japan • Occupation — * Singer • actor • television presenter • Children — 2 • Years Active — 1996–present • Website — https: office-nino.co.jp/ Kazunari Ninomiya, often called Nino, is a Japanese singer, songwriter, actor, voice actor, presenter and radio host. He is a former member of the Japanese idol group Arashi (started under Johnny & Associates, later under agent contract with Starto Entertainment), and with which he remained until the group's end of activities. He became independent from the agency in 2023 for individual activities.

Ninomiya was born in Katsushika, Tokyo as the youngest child of his family; his sister is two years older than he is. His father and mother were both working as chefs at Hattori Nutrition College when they met, his father being a Japanese cuisine teacher, and his mother, his assistant. When Ninomiya was born, his grandfather immediately came home and named him the heir to the family's windshield wiper factory, since he was his grandfather's only grandson. Ninomiya graduated from high school in March 2002 at the age of 18.

Ninomiya's career began in the entertainment industry when Ninomiya's cousin sent in an application to Johnny & Associates without his knowledge, and his mother's prodding. After attending and passing the auditions, he joined the talent agency in 1996 aged 13. Prior to his debut with Arashi, Ninomiya started an acting career when he was cast as Chris for the stage play Stand by Me, which was based on the film of the same name. He has starred in numerous television drama, movie and stage production since then, and has been regarded as the actor of Arashi, described as an actor who can act with his mouth and eyes. Ninomiya has won a number of awards and nominations for his roles. Ninomiya announced he would become independent from the agency on 24 October 2023. Regarding his participation as member of Arashi, he said they would work together when they resume activities. On November 7, 2023, he announced on X (formerly Twitter), that he had established a company. He had announced before that he was making a website along with his sister. In the post in which he announced the company, he also said that "the website is also progressing". Husband of former long-distance runner Akemi Masuda, Yuuji Kiwaki, also participates in operating the newly established company Office Nino, inc. On December 16, 2023, he shared on X the link to his official website. He posted as a description on his profile that he had completed it. On June 7, 2024, Ninomiya announced the release of "DigiNino", a smartphone app, and the opening of his official fan club, "Office Nino Holdings", both on June 17. Nino hosts a variety show for TV Tokyo for the first time (and his first appearance in 26 years), "Geki kawa petto dai shūgō! Wan Nyan Ninoland", which is to air on August 31, 2024. He and his co-host, Shimofuri Myojo's Seiya (Japanese comedian) Ishikawa appear as a CG dog and cat, respectively, in what is said to be "the ultimate pet program that delivers from the perspective of animals"; the concept of the show is a secret gathering in which animals have the main roles. For 2025, Ninomiya has in mind a fan meeting, which would be his first, planning to visit five locations: Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Hokkaido, and Fukuoka. He would like not only to interact with fans through Q&A sessions, but also perform songs in what he called a "showcase". He also said, "I don't want an all-standing venue. I'm thinking of it with seats in mind...it's just my preference". After 13 years, it was announced on January 8, 2026, that Ninomiya's crown program on Nippon Television, "Nino san", would end by the end of March, the reason given was the difficulty to adjust the schedule with Arashi's last tour. However, there have been comments on SNS from fans saying that the atmosphere that the program had on Sundays, the day it started, had disappeared, and station officials have stated that as a program on the Golden timeslot, high viewership is required. For the "Let's Go to the Movie Theater!" executive committee's event "Secret Cinema", taking place on June 25, 2026, Ninomiya was chosen as event ambassador. He was also in charge of selecting the 'One Movie of Life' to be screened on the day of the event. Visitors to the event don't know what film is going to be screened, that includes the one Ninomiya presides over.

In 2004, Ninomiya penned and composed "Konseki" for his solo performance during Arashi's Iza, Now!! tour. Although Arashi's fifth studio album One was the first of their albums to feature solo songs of each member, Ninomiya did not provide lyrics or music for official release until the Time album almost two years later. In 2007, the group's eighteenth single "Love So Sweet" was released with the limited edition containing the bonus song "Faito Songu", which was written by Arashi and composed by Ninomiya in 2006 for their variety show G no Arashi. On July 11, 2007, the Time album was released with the limited edition containing solo song of each member. Ninomiya wrote the lyrics to his solo song, "Rainbow", and played the piano portion of the song throughout Arashi's summer tour. He later reprised the performance throughout Arashi's second Asia Tour in 2008. In 2008, Ninomiya composed, co-arranged and penned the lyrics for his solo "Gimmick Game". In 2010, Ninomiya also composed, co-arranged and penned the lyrics for his solo "1992*4##111". According to Ninomiya himself, the title is read as "arigatō".

On March 5, 2025, Ninomiya announced an event for members of his fan club in the form of his first fan club live talk and mini concert. The event, "Kazunari Ninomiya FC Live Showcase", took place in September and October. Additional information about the event was revealed on July 1, 2025. The musical performance in the event featured songs from his second cover album; the talk part was a "Q and A" session, answering questions sent in by members of the fan club.

Ninomiya began his acting career in a 1997 stage play based on the American coming of age film Stand by Me with future bandmates Masaki Aiba and Jun Matsumoto. He did not return to do any major stage productions for nearly seven years after Stand by Me, instead focusing on dramas. However, in 2004, Ninomiya appeared in his first lead role in the stage play Shibuya Kara Tooku Hanarete directed by Yukio Ninagawa. From April 3, 2005 to May 4, 2005, he took up Rebel Without a Cause, playing the James Dean character Jim Stark. From July 18, 2009 to August 11, 2009, Ninomiya appeared in his first stage play in four years. He starred as the psychopathic murderer Bruno in Mishiranu Jōkyaku, which was based on the novel of the same name.

In 1998, he made his television debut as a fifteen-year-old runaway in the TBS television movie Crossing Mt. Amagi. Just a few months before his debut with Arashi, he was given his first lead role in the drama Dangerous After School with Subaru Shibutani acting as his stepbrother. His schedule became packed, causing him to lose 7 kg in a month as a result. From October 11, 1999 to October 29, 1999, because Arashi were the main supporters for the 8th World Cup of Volleyball Championships, all five members co-starred together for the first time in the volleyball-centered short drama V no Arashi. From 2003 to 2005, Ninomiya continued to appear in a wide range of dramas. He played a student who found himself to be one of the last four virgins left at school in the comedy series Stand Up!!, a boyfriend of a girl who mysteriously shrunk into a size of merely sixteen centimeters tall in the romance series Minami-kun no Koibito and a young man who accidentally killed his mother and developed an estranged relationship with his father as a result in the human drama series Yasashii Jikan In 2006, Ninomiya starred in the drama special Sukoshi wa, Ongaeshi ga Dekitakana, which was based on the true story of young man diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma. He went on to appear in two different films for the rest of 2006 before taking up Haikei, Chichiue-sama on January 11, 2007. During the summer of 2007, he and fellow Arashi bandmate Sho Sakurai co-starred together in the manga-based comedy drama Yamada Tarō Monogatari. Ninomiya played the title character Tarō Yamada, an extremely poor student attending a school for the rich. Soon after—whilst juggling rehearsals for Arashi's upcoming concerts—he acted as the lead in the drama special Marathon, which was based on the true story of an autistic young man training to become a marathon runner. After a year without any acting roles, other than a small guest appearance in bandmate Satoshi Ohno's first lead drama Maō, Ninomiya finally took up the main role in the drama Ryūsei no Kizuna "流星の絆 with Ryo Nishikido and Erika Toda acting as his younger siblings. The three played the children of parents who were murdered long ago by a nameless man. Readers, reporters and critics of the 59th Television Drama Academy Awards panel recognized his role as the oldest vengeful sibling and awarded him Best Actor. His Ryūsei no Kizuna role also earned him an Outstanding Actor nomination in the drama category in the 49th Monte-Carlo Television Festival. In spring 2009, Ninomiya starred as the lead in the third and final of the TBS drama special trilogy Door to Door, with the first and second being Sukoshi wa, Ongaeshi ga Dekitakana and Marathon respectively. The drama special was based on the true story of Bill Porter, an American door-to-door salesman who achieved the highest sales for his company despite suffering from cerebral palsy. His roles in Door to Door and Ryūsei no Kizuna won him the Individual Award in the television category of the 46th Galaxy Awards, a first for a Johnny's talent and the first by an actor in his twenties. Ninomiya began filming for the drama special Tengoku de Kimi ni Aetara in April 2009. However, the special, which saw Ninomiya's first time playing a psychiatrist, did not air on television until September 24, 2009. In January 2010, Ninomiya co-starred with the other members of Arashi in their first drama in nearly ten years in the human suspense drama special Saigo no Yakusoku "最後の約束". Ninomiya portrayed Shūji Yamagiwa, a 27-year-old temporary security center employee who is caught up in a building hijack. On September 20, 2010, he made a guest appearance on the last episode of bandmate Matsumoto and Yūko Takeuchi's getsuku drama Natsu no Koi wa Nijiiro ni Kagayaku. Ninomiya starred in the drama Part-time Worker, Buys a House, his first serial drama since Ryūsei no Kizuna (2008). With Karina as his co-star, Ninomiya portrayed a freeter named Seiji Take. The drama maintained steady viewership ratings throughout its airing, having an average rating of 17.14% overall.

Ninomiya was chosen as a special supporter for the Kobe 2024 World Para Athletics Championships. The event was May 17 to 25. Ninomiya pitched the first ball for the Chiba Lotte vs Tohoku Rakuten game in Tokyo Dome on July 31, 2025. Together with Ken Watanabe, event Ambassador, Ninomiya, was chosen as special supporter for the Netflix coverage of the 2026 World Baseball Classic started on March 5, 2026. The pair, in addition to the commentaries on the event, on January 30 released a video on the official Netflix YouTube, and appeared in the documentary "Diamond Truth: The truth about the World Baseball Classic", released as a 4-parter, with the first two episodes streaming on February 19, and the remaining on February 27. Seven of the broadcasts, including the final, were also aired by NTV, with Ninomiya and Watanabe's participation. He also narrated the Netflix documentary "Beyond the game: Samurai 2026 World Baseball Classic", regarding the Japanese team. Ninomiya was named special ambassador for the 2026 Asian Games for TBS. When talking about his nomination, Ninomiya said that this was an incredible opportunity. For people like him that didn't know much about the event, getting to know the perspective of sports different of those of the Olympics, imagining the athletes' training and history, and letting children be inspired by the athletes' participating, are reasons for which he wants everyone to see. He also commented that he is happy that he gets to work with members of the "Ninomiya Family", people that he has shared TV programs with. The event is scheduled for September 2026, with Japan hosting after 32 years.

Ninomiya appears as main personality in NTV's 24-Hr TV (24時間テレビ) for 6th time, 5 with Arashi (2004, 2008, 2012, 2013, 2019) and 1 as member of YouTube channel Jyaninochaneru, JNC (2022)

Blue Ribbon Awards (February 2024)

Ninomiya has his own radio show, Bay Storm, since October 4, 2002. The show is currently airing every Sunday on Japan's BayFM, in which he often plays his own renditions of Arashi's songs as well as songs by other artists.

He wrote a column with the title "IT" in MORE magazine, from January 2009 until it ended in January 2019. On July 7, 2024, he announced to his fan club that he would release, on November 15, the compilation of the 123 issues in the form of a book called "Ninomiya Kazunari no It [itto]". The book contains all photos and written parts included in the More series, with a gift of a special photo bookmark.

Yonino Channel A new Johnny's YouTube channel called ジャにのちゃんねる (Jyaninochaneru), led by Ninomiya himself, was opened in 2021. The channel is also run by KAT-TUN's Yuichi Nakamaru, Hey! Say! JUMP's Ryosuke Yamada, and timelesz's Fuma Kikuchi. As a consequence of the Johnny Kitagawa sexual abuse scandal, the name "Johnny" was eliminated from all name-related groups, office sections and the office itself. In the video posted on 4 October 2023, named #277【ご報告!!】現状がわかんなすぎて皆で話し合った日, Ninomiya and the rest of the members commented on the change of name for the channel, as well as a pause period to assess all the changes concerning the contracts with the agency's artists. "There are many uncertainties, so we will take a break for a certain period of time", he commented. The channel was to resume with the posts around the beginning of November, but they released a new video saying the channel would take some more time off, until things were settled. After gathering votes for the fan recommended names, the channel's name was changed to "Yoninochannel", as revealed in video #281 【大決定!!】こんな名前が決まるぜ!!!!の日, released December 10, 2023. He became a VTuber for the latest edition of the Puzzle & Dragons commercials, released in November 2023. According to him, filming this commercial was no different than filming a (CG) movie. It was a challenge for him to get the match play, because of the motion capture suit, but he enjoyed it as a new experience.

True to his joker nature, Ninomiya opened a Twitter account (@nino_honmono) on March 8 2023, posting only written posts, but in the description, the Johnny's Web profile link he put was that of fellow Johnny and long time friend, Shunsuke Kazama, causing amusement on his followers. He later shared photos of himself alone and with other Johnny's during the 46th Japan Academy Awards Ceremony. Ninomiya caused a stir on 27 February 2024, after posting in X (formerly Twitter) that his head ached. About an hour later, he updated his profile, changing the default photo he had since opening the account, almost 1 year before, to a photo of himself with silver-colored hair. Ninomiya is known to mostly change his hairstyle when he gets acting work. On May 5, 2025, Ninomiya opened a temporary Instagram account dedicated to promote his upcoming second cover album and fan meeting.

Ninomiya was part of the production of the movie Exit 8, credited with script cooperation. As a gamer himself, and knowing the game in first hand, Ninomiya reached Kawamura with tips, useful in the moment of turning a non–story game into a story. Ninomiya considered that in a production with many scenes featuring one person, filming does not progress smoothly on set when there are three directions to be taken: director, scriptwriter, and actor. In this particular production, costumes and setting remain the same, creating a loop. "That's why I felt it was necessary to organize things before filming so that there would be a single exit, and so when I was playing this role, I decided to get involved from the scriptwriting stage onwards." he said about his involvement.

On November 12, 2019, Ninomiya announced his marriage through a handwritten letter he released in their fan club website. He announced the birth of his daughter through his agency on March 5, 2021. The birth of his second daughter was announced on November 19, 2022. Ninomiya took X as a place to rant about his family's personal space being violated, after a weekly magazine published in November 2024 photos of him and his family in a shrine for the Japanese celebration Shichi-Go-San. The photographs taken only show a mosaic of Ninomiya's wife and children. In response to this, he said, "I've had a life where I told myself, 'I don't want my private life to be photographed, but I can't help it'. In recent years, even when looking at photos taken without permission from an etiquette and moral point of view, I've thought "it's not right to take photos of ordinary people and post them on the Internet where an unspecified number of people can see them" (although this is my opinion). I think that the publisher and the photographer probably blurred them with the intention of 'consideration', but, please do not photograph my family members, who are ordinary people, regardless of the occasion or reason." The post was made on the eve of Arashi's 25th Anniversary, and it was noted by him, as he said that he would stop posting on X for an undisclosed period, given his unwillingness to offend his (and Arashi's) fans because of his "negative feelings".

Ninomiya released the book "Dokudan to henken" in June 2025, a book that covers a variety of topics from his point of view.

In 2002, he made his motion picture debut in Arashi's first movie together, Pikanchi Life Is Hard Dakedo Happy. Ninomiya next took to the screen as Shuichi, a high school student trying to get rid of his abusive stepfather, in the 2003 film The Blue Light with Aya Matsuura as his co-star. In 2004, Arashi came together again to reprise their respective roles for the sequel of Pikanchi Life Is Hard Dakedo Happy, Pikanchi Life Is Hard Dakara Happy. 2006 proved to be a productive year for Ninomiya as he became the first artist from Johnny's & Associates to debut in Hollywood. He played a reluctant soldier called Saigo in Clint Eastwood's Academy Award-winner Letters from Iwo Jima with Academy Award-nominated actor Ken Watanabe. His performance was praised by many film critics, some of which include RogerEbert.com editor Jim Emerson ("thoroughly winning"), Claudia Puig of USA Today ("also superb"), James Berardinelli ("another performer worth singling out") and Kirk Honeycutt of The Hollywood Reporter ("just terrific"). On January 7, 2007, New York Times film critic A. O. Scott listed Ninomiya as an ideal Oscar candidate for Best Supporting Actor. On October 24, 2006, a couple months after returning from filming Letters from Iwo Jima in the United States, he debuted as a voice actor, lending his voice to main character Black in the Michael Arias animated film Tekkon Kinkreet. • Illustration — Clint Eastwood, Ken Watanabe, Kazunari Ninomiya and Tsuyoshi Ihara at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2007 In 2007, all the members of Arashi co-starred in their third movie together, Kiiroi Namida, with Ninomiya playing the main role of an aspiring manga artist. On October 1, 2010, the live-action adaptation of Fumi Yoshinaga's award-winning Ōoku: The Inner Chambers manga, which starred Ninomiya and Kou Shibasaki, was released into theaters in Japan. Ninomiya played Yunoshin Mizuno, a young man living in a matriarchal society due to a disease that killed most of the male population. Part one of the live-action adaptation of the manga Gantz, which starred Ninomiya and Kenichi Matsuyama, was released on January 20, 2011 in the United States and on January 29, 2011 in Japan. Ninomiya starred as Kei Kurono, a young man who is hit by a subway train and becomes part of a semi-posthumous "game" with other deceased people. Part two of Gantz, titled Gantz: Perfect Answer, hit theaters in Japan on April 23, 2011. In 2013, Ninomiya played the lead role in the film adaptation of Keigo Higashino's novel Platina Data, [Platinum Data]. Ninomiya's 2008 drama series Ryūsei no Kizuna [Meteor Bonds] was also based on a novel by Higashino. In the 17th issue of Weekly Shounen Jump magazine, it was revealed that Ninomiya would be the voice of Koro-sensei in the 2015 live-action film adaptation of Assassination Classroom. On 5 March 2016, Ninomiya won the 39th Japanese Academy Award for Best Actor, for his performance in Living with My Mother (Haha to Kuraseba), succeeding fellow Johnny & Associates colleague Okada Junichi. • Illustration — Ninomiya at the 35th Tokyo International Film Festival in 2022 The movie Tang, based on the novel "A robot in the garden" by Deborah Install, in which he plays a failed man abandoned by his wife, who finds an amnesiac stray robot in their garden, was released in theaters around Japan on August 11, 2022. A few days later, it was revealed that Ninomiya played also the role of Tang the robot, after he suggested to the producer, who had been testing with both children and adults for creating its movements without results, that he should also play him as a mirror of his own acting. Tang was made by CG animators using motion capture. Ninomiya was invited to the 2025 Cannes Film Festival as part of the cast of the movie Exit 8, which was included as a non-competition feature for the midnight screening on May 19, 2025. The film is based on the viral game of the same name created by Kotake Create. Ninomiya plays a man who is trapped in subway corridor with a seemingly endless loop, who has to look out for any anomalies to get out Exit 8.
