Prior to debuting with Tokio, Joshima was a backup-dancer for various Johnny's Entertainment boy bands at the time. He also formed temporary music units during that time, such as Tokio's predecessor, Tokio Band, or the Joshima Band with other to-be Tokio members. In 1990 he became the leader and guitarist of Tokio, but it wasn't until 1994 that the band debuted. Joshima, Masahiro Matsuoka and Taichi Kokubun, the remaining members of Tokio, after Tatsuya Yamaguchi's contract termination because of a scandal and subsequent suspension of musical activities of the group in 2018, and Tomoya Nagase's decision to retire in 2020, decided to disband after a report of Kokubun's violation of compliance by Nippon TV, which resulted in his suspension of activities. Joshima announced in January 2026 his intention of continuing with his entertainment career.

Joshima has had parts in various dramas since 1989. One of his first roles ever was as a supporting cast member in the show Gomendou Kakemasu, where he acted alongside Kazuya Takahashi of Otokogumi and Naoto Endou of former Johnny's band Ninja. He has also hosted Ai no Apron and Leader's How-To Book, Brain Power Expedition Quiz! Homunculus with fellow member Kokubun, and with other Tokio members, hosted Gachinko!, The Tetsuwan Dash, Mentore G, and 5LDK.
