Takashi Nikaido (Japanese: 二階堂高嗣, Hepburn: Takashi Nikaidō, born August 6, 1990) is a Japanese actor and singer who is a member of boy band Kis-My-Ft2 and its derivative group Busaiku (舞祭組) under Starto Entertainment. His nickname is Nika and Nika-chan.[2]
History
[edit]Nikaido's older sister was a fan of the Kinki Kids and sent Nikaido's resume to the Johnny & Associates when he was 10 years old. He said his sister told him that he was going to a Kinki Kids concert today and took him to the audition site.[3] After auditioning, he joined Johnny & Associates in February 2001. At the same audition venue were Toshiya Miyata and Wataru Yokoo, who later became members of Kis-My-Ft2.[4]
He was only 10 years old when he entered show business, and it is said that he had a rebellious period due to the frustration of not being able to CD debut quickly.[5] At the Johnny's, which had a strict hierarchical relationship, he surprised everyone by calling his seniors without an honorific title.[6] When he met Shingo Katori of SMAP, the most successful group in Johnny's at the time, he scared everyone by saying, "Who are you?."[7] But he is said to have had a strange charm that did not make people hate him for it.[7]
After joining several groups as a trainee (Johnny's Jr.),[8] he was selected as a member of Kis-My-Ft2 in 2005, and he made his CD debut with Everybody Go on August 10, 2011, seven years after their formation.[9]
In 2001, he made his first drama appearance in Fuji TV's "NO KISS".[10]
In 2011, he made his first film appearance in the movie "Ogawa no be"小川の辺.[10]
On December 13, 2013, Busaiku was formed from Kis-My-Ft2 with Kento Senga, Toshiya Miyata and Wataru Yokoo produced by Masahiro Nakai who was a member of SMAP.[11]
He is physically strong and a good acrobat, often performing somersaults and backflips at live shows.[12] He is also a good rapper and often raps in Kis-My-Ft2's songs.[12] In Kis-My-Ft2, he is in charge of live direction.[12]
He loves solo camping and opened his personal official YouTube channel on the theme of camping in December 2023.[13]
On September 15, 2024, he announced that he would take a temporary hiatus due to health problems.[14] He had been absent from the final day performance of Kis-My-Ft2's concert tour Kis-My-Ft2 Dome Tour 2024 Synopsis on September 8 due to health problems.[15]
Nakai's Watch
[edit]Masahiro Nakai is known for taking care of his junior members of Johnny's, and Kis-My-Ft2 members are said to be especially fond of him as his direct juniors.[16] In 2016, four members of Busaiku had dinner with Nakai, who had produced busaiku, Nikaido was given a luxury watch by Nakai.[17] The watch was a Franck Muller wristwatch that Nakai bought it for himself on his 30th birthday, Nikaido jokingly asked, "It's a nice watch. I want it," and Nakai removed the watch on the spot and gave it to Nikaido as a real gift.[17] Since then, Nikaido always wore this watch, appeared on TV and at concerts, and at every occasion mentioned that it was a watch given to him by Nakai. Nakai had told him, "When you turn 30, buy your own watch,"[18] so in 2021, the 10th anniversary of Kis-My-Ft2's debut, Nikaido bought a limited edition watch at Franck Muller.[19] Nikaido is said to have great respect for Nakai, and often appears at Kis-My-Ft2 concerts wearing a hat, as Nakai did when he was in SMAP.[20]
