Personal

* His older sister was an Arashi(Johnny's Group) fan and she sent an application to the Johnny's Agency without telling him.

* From the time he joined the agency (2001) to the year 2004, he had the most high pitched voice in the history of Johnny's. Many people called his voice "An Angel's Voice". Using that voice and his talent for singing, soon after he joined the agency he was told to sing solos and medleys on TV.

* He has an older brother and an older sister.
* He looks up to Domoto Koichi of the group Kinki Kids as a mentor.
* He was named Kota because his parents wanted him to have a large(Ko) heart.
