Kazunari Ninomiya

, often called , 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.

Early life 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.

Career 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 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 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 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.

YouTuber

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.

Social Networks 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.

Other 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.

Personal life 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".
