History[edit]

When Fujigaya was 11 years old, his aunt secretly sent his resume to Johnny & Associates for an audition.[6] He was initially unsuccessful in the audition, but when he was leaving, he did not know where to return his number tag, so he spoke to an elderly man nearby, who turned out to be the president, Johnny Kitagawa.[7] On Kitagawa's decision, Fujigaya passed the audition and joined Johnny & Associates in 1998.[7][8][9] Also in the audition were Kazuya Kamenashi and Yuichi Nakamaru, who later became members of KAT-TUN, Takahisa Masuda, who became a member of NEWS (band), Ryoichi Tsukada, who became a member of A.B.C-Z, and Yuki Koshioka, who became a member of "For You".[10][11]

In April 2004, Kis-My-Ft. was formed as a unit within trainees (Johnny's Jr.) and Hiromitsu Kitayama and Wataru Yokoo were selected as members. In July 2005, Kento Senga, Toshiya Miyata, Yuta Tamamori, and Takashi Nikaido, who were active as "A.B.C-Jr." at the time, joined the group and began their activities as Kis-My-Ft2. They made their CD debut on August 10, 2011 with their first single "Everybody Go.

As an Actor[edit]

In 1999, Fujigaya made his first drama appearance in the Television drama "Kowai Nichi-youbi Tomodachi no J-kun (Scary Sunday, My Friend J-kun)" (Nippon TV).[12]

In July 2012, he played his first starring role in a drama series "Beginners!"(TBS Television (Japan) ) in July 2012, his first starring role in a drama series.[13]

In February 2014, he played his first starring role in a film, "Kamen Teacher the Movie,"[14] and in May 2014, she played her first starring role in a stage play, "Colt Gabaments - Hajime no Hajimari".[15]

He has since continued to work in Television dramas, with notable works including "Ikemen desu ne," "Mars Ta Da Kimi Wo Aishiteru" and "Karei-naru Ichizoku".
