Biography
Koyama, born in Kanagawa Prefecture as the youngest of two children, is the oldest member of NEWS and is often seen as the mother figure of the group. Before he was in NEWS, he was a member of BAD and J-Support, as well as the group K.K.Kity along with fellow NEWS members Hironori Kusano and Shigeaki Kato. As a member of K.K.Kity he was often an announcer and this has carried through to NEWS. Despite this, he only joined Johnny's Entertainment at the beginning of 2001, when he was 17 years old.
Upon entering Johnny's Entertainment on the 21st of January 2001, Koyama started out with the unit B.A.D. which stands for Beautiful American Dream. It is also the unit where he met fellow NEWS band mate Shigeaki Kato, who would soon to be his best friend and band mate for the years to follow. His second unit as a junior was B.B.D. which at first stood for Bad Boys Dancing, but was later changed to Best Beat Dancing. In October 2001, he was chosen as a member of Domoto Koichi's project, J Support, along side fellow NEWS members Hironori Kusano and Shigeaki Kato. It was in this unit that Koyama started out as an announcer for shows such as the Ya-Ya-yah Show, and this has carried through to NEWS, which he joined in September 2003.
He graduated from Meiji University's Literature faculty with honors, and has been working in his parents' ramen shop during NEWS's hiatus. He has also been participating in dorama.

Trivia
* He loves cats, but sadly, is allergic. Therefore, his J-web entries are written from his "imaginary" cat Wagahai's point of view. In some way or another, Wagahai mentions Koyama and Koyama's cat Nyanta. They manage to set up "play dates" together. The name "Wagahai" probably pays homage to the famous Japanese novel "Wagahai wa neko de aru" (I Am a Cat) by Natsume Sōseki.
* Kato Shigeaki, who is usually called "Shige", became a member of NEWS, together with Koyama Keiichiro and Kusano Hironori, after they were all in K.K.Kity, one of the Johnny's Jr. groups.
* For quite a while he was known as the most "underloved" and "underpromoted" member of NEWS, comparing to other members. Even though he is considered as the most intelligent and smart person among members, he seemed to rarely get chances to prove his abilities. However, after the return of NEWS, he has gradually been promoted and become more popular with changes in his appearance.
* He watches a lot of Japanese movies.
* He generally bad at sports with the exception of basketball and tennis.
* He can ride a unicycle.
* In order to study acting he is said to have bought many DVDs.
* He is left handed.
* He has narcolepsy.

[edit] Information
Tegoshi entered Johnny's during December 2002. He participated in various Johnny's Junior activities until, ten months later, he debuted as a part of NEWS. At the time of his debut, he was almost completely unknown. Even most of the members did not know who he was.
However, he gained popularity with his singing, which was one of the best in the group. He also started in acting, becoming the first member to star in a movie, and gained more roles in various Japanese dramas. He appeared with band members on Johnny's related television shows like Shounen Club and Ya-Ya-yah. He also hosted his own radio show, "Tegoshi Yuya's What a Wonderful Music." He is the self-proclaimed worst dancer but is considered one of the best, if not the best, singer in the group.
During NEWS's hiatus in 2006, he and bandmate Takahisa Masuda formed the duo Tegomass. They released the single Miso Soup in Sweden, recorded entirely in English, that reached #12 on the Swedish charts. In December of 2006, they released the Japanese version of "Miso Soup" single in Japan, which reached #1 on the Oricon charts. In spring of 2007, he worked in Tegomass as they represented the Japanese High School Volleyball Tournament with "Marui Chikara (マルイチカラ, Marui Chikara?)" as well as contributing a song to the anime Lovely Complex with a new single, Kiss ~Kaerimichi no Love Song~ (キッス~帰り道のラブソング~, Kiss ~Kaerimichi no Love Song~?) which debuted at #2.
Currently, he is once again working as a member of NEWS.

Trivia
* He loves cats, but sadly, is allergic. Therefore, his J-web entries are written from his "imaginary" cat Wagahai's point of view. In some way or another, Wagahai mentions Koyama and Koyama's cat Nyanta. They manage to set up "play dates" together. The name "Wagahai" probably pays homage to the famous Japanese novel "Wagahai wa neko de aru" (I Am a Cat) by Natsume Sōseki.
* Kato Shigeaki, who is usually called "Shige", became a member of NEWS, together with Koyama Keiichiro and Kusano Hironori, after they were all in K.K.Kity, one of the Johnny's Jr. groups.
* For quite a while he was known as the most "underloved" and "underpromoted" member of NEWS, comparing to other members. Even though he is considered as the most intelligent and smart person among members, he seemed to rarely get chances to prove his abilities. However, after the return of NEWS, he has gradually been promoted and become more popular with changes in his appearance.

* He generally bad at sports with the exception of basketball and tennis.
* He can ride a unicycle.

[edit] Information
Tegoshi entered Johnny's during December 2002. He participated in various Johnny's Junior activities until, ten months later, he debuted as a part of NEWS. At the time of his debut, he was almost completely unknown. Even most of the members did not know who he was.
However, he gained popularity with his singing, which was one of the best in the group. He also started in acting, becoming the first member to star in a movie, and gained more roles in various Japanese dramas. He appeared with band members on Johnny's related television shows like Shounen Club and Ya-Ya-yah. He also hosted his own radio show, "Tegoshi Yuya's What a Wonderful Music." He is the self-proclaimed worst dancer but is considered one of the best, if not the best, singer in the group.
During NEWS's hiatus in 2006, he and bandmate Takahisa Masuda formed the duo Tegomass. They released the single Miso Soup in Sweden, recorded entirely in English, that reached #12 on the Swedish charts. In December of 2006, they released the Japanese version of "Miso Soup" single in Japan, which reached #1 on the Oricon charts. In spring of 2007, he worked in Tegomass as they represented the Japanese High School Volleyball Tournament with "Marui Chikara (マルイチカラ, Marui Chikara?)" as well as contributing a song to the anime Lovely Complex with a new single, Kiss ~Kaerimichi no Love Song~ (キッス~帰り道のラブソング~, Kiss ~Kaerimichi no Love Song~?) which debuted at #2.
