Tsubasa is the sexy dynamite dancer that excels in both his solo work and unit work with Takizawa Hideaki in Tackey & Tsubasa. Tsubasa has had many sucessfull solo concerts such as Tsubacon, 23 to 24 and Style. Most recently he has done World's Wing Tsubasa Premium which he will also do this year aswell. Best known in JE for being one of the top dancers, he looks up to Higashiyama Noriyuki of Shonentai for his dancing skills and sees Tsuyoshi Domoto of Kinki Kids as an older brother after staring in a drama together and becoming friends. Some Jrs that look up to Tsubasa are Nakata Daichi of Kansai Juniors (plus otheres), Rikiya from Five (and the rest of the group) and MAD, the dance group that have accompanied Tsubasa on most of his solo tours and T&T tours.
Tsubasa went to the audtions in Tokyo to enter JE which is where he met Takizawa Hideaki for the first time, his first impression of Takki were he looked very dressed up and that his clothes looked brand new, Takki on the other hand wondered why Tsubasa was carrying a huge backpack and what was in it. The two became friends quickly and they were both to star in Mokuyou no kaidan, a childrens mystery show. During this time they were pushed together a lot and started to grate on each other. They stopped being friends for about 4 years but on the set of Genroku Ryoran they made up because there was no one else theyre age. Then Takki asked Tsubasa to perform Run Run Run by SMAP with him at a Jr concert, when they ran together Takki knew he wanted to debute as a unit with Tsubasa. They were told they would debut separatly but after Takki asked fans to write letters asking for them to debut together they finally got to debut together....and now you have Tackey & Tsubasa!
