Hiromitsu Kitayama (北山宏光, Kitayama Hiromitsu, born September 17, 1985) is a Japanese idol, singer and actor. He is most well known as the eldest member of the Johnny's boy band Kis-My-Ft2. Kitayama has also appeared in many television drama series such as Kazoku Gari (as Suzuki Keitoku) and in musicals such as Let's Sing A Song Of Love (celebrating 40 years of Kansai TV).[5] Kitayama left the group and the agency on 31 August 2023.[6]

History

[edit]

Hiromitsu Kitayama attended Horikoshi High School and graduated from Asia University in 2008. He entered Johnny's in 2002 and debuted in 2011 as member of Kis-My-Ft2. Kitayama left the group and the agency on 31 August 2023.

On 13 September 2023, a teaser video with the name "#TOBECONTINUED" was released on TOBE's official YouTube. The new artist was to be revealed on the 17, but voices in X (formerly Twitter) were already guessing the identity of the new member to be Kitayama, who had recently left Johnny's.[7] On 17 September 2023, Kitayama's identity was revealed, introducing him as TOBE's latest member. In the same video, his SNS and fanclub information was also shared.[8] He made his solo debut on 17 November with the release of the digital single "乱心-RANSHIN-" (Ranshin=Ranshin).[9]
