KAT-TUN

KAT-TUN was officially formed on the 16th of March, 2001. They made their television debut on the 26th of March, and then on the 7th of April, they were exclusively chosen to be Domoto Koichi's team of back dancers on the music variety show Pop Jam. KAT-TUN made their official debut on the 22nd of March, 2006, under a new record label -- J-One Records. This new record label is branched off of Arashi's J Storm label, which in turn is part of Toshiba-EMI, which ultimately brings us to one of the world's "Big Four" record labels -- EMI. KAT-TUN's unit name derives from the acronyms of their surnames; Kamenashi Kazuya, Akanishi Jin, Taguchi Junnosuke, Tanaka Koki, Ueda Tatsuya and Nakamaru Yuichi. The hyphen represents us, their fans. The sound intended of "KAT-TUN" is the Japanese pronunciation of "cartoon". Kamenashi Kazuya is the group's unofficial leader, despite being the youngest member.
