Early life and career

[edit]

Takuya Kusakawa was born on 24 November 1994 in Tokyo. His family consists of his mother, father, and a younger brother, singer Naoya Kusakawa, who also pursued a career in music and acting.

In 2007, when he was in first-year junior high school, he was scouted by his current agency on his way to soccer practice at school.

He made his acting debut in 2008 in the drama Poor Men.

On 7 March 2012, he joined the music group Bullet Train, replacing then-member Sho Takemura. Although he joined as the "main dancer", he had no prior dance experience at the time of his debut with the band.[1]
