ok, this is a little info 'bout him..

  • Name : Ninomiya Kazunari
  • Profession: Actor, singer, songwriter, showhost
  • Birthdate: 1983-Jun-17
  • Birthplace: Katsushika City, Tokyo, Japan
  • Blood type: A
  • Talent agency: Johnny's Entertainment

On September 15, 1999, he debuted in Honolulu, Hawaii as one of the five members of the popular group Arashi. In 2004, for the first time, a solo song that Ninomiya wrote the lyrics to and composed himself was officially released in Arashi's 2004 Arashi! Iza, Now Tour!! DVD. Although the next album One was the first of Arashi's albums to feature solo songs of each member, Ninomiya did not compose or write his solo songs for official release until the Time album almost 2 years later. In 2007, he wrote the lyrics to his solo song entitled "Niji" and played the piano portion of the song throughout Arashi's Summer Tour.

In 2008, Ninomiya composed, co-arranged and penned the lyrics for his latest solo song named "Gimmick Game." The song can be found in the album Dream"A"live, Arashi's 2nd highest selling album to-date. "Gimmick Game" takes on a different style compared to past solos by Ninomiya, whether he contributed more than just vocals or not.

Ninomiya began acting in a 1997 stageplay based on an American coming of age film called Stand by Me with the other members of M.A.I.N. In 1998, he made his television debut as a 15-year-old runaway in the TBS made-for-television movie Amagi Goe. Almost every year since then, he has been appearing in numerous productions. In 1999, because Arashi were image characters for the 8th World Cup of Volleyball, all five members starred together for the first time in the volleyball-centered short drama V no Arashi.

In 2002, he made his motion picture debut in Pika*nchi Life Is Hard Dakedo Happy, in which he acted with the rest of Arashi once again. Ninomiya starred in his second movie in 2003 called Ao no Honō playing a high school student who has an abusive step-father living at home. In 2004, Arashi came together again to reprise their respective roles for the sequel of Pika*nchi Life Is Hard Dakedo Happy called Pika**nchi Life Is Hard Dakara Happy.

2006 proved to be a productive year for Ninomiya as he became the first person from Johnny's & Associates to debut in Hollywood. After taking up the main role in the special drama Sukoshi wa, Ongaeshi ga Dekitakana, which was based on the true story of young man diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, he played a reluctant soldier named Saigo in Clint Eastwood's Oscar-nominated Letters from Iwo Jima with Academy Award-nominated actor Ken Watanabe. His performance was praised by many film critics and singled out by RogerEbert.com editor, Jim Emerson, as 'thoroughly winning.'. Shortly after, he debuted as a seiyu and lent his voice to main character Kuro in the animated film Tekkon Kinkreet, which was directed by Michael Arias

In 2007, all the members of Arashi starred in their third movie together called Kiiroi Namida with Ninomiya playing an aspiring manga artist. During the summer of the same year, he and fellow Arashi bandmate Sho Sakurai starred together in the manga-based comedy drama Yamada Tarō Monogatari. Soon after, while juggling rehearsals for Arashi's upcoming concert, he acted as the lead in the special drama, which was based on the true story of an autistic young man training to become a marathon runner, called Marathon.

After a year without any acting roles, other than a small guest appearance in fellow bandmate Satoshi Ohno's first leading role drama called Maō, Ninomiya finally took up the main role in the popular drama Ryūsei no Kizuna with kōhai Ryo Nishikido and Erika Toda acting as his younger siblings. The three played the children of parents who were murdered long ago by an 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."
