In 2001 Domoto Koichi of the Kinki Kids began producing a junior unit called J-support. The unit was meant to backdance for Kinki Kids in concerts and Domoto Koichi also wrote a song for the unit call Private Hearts. Later the name was changed to K.K.Kity which comes from the member’s initials. (Koyama Keiichiro, Kusano Hironori, Kato Shigeaki, Iida Kyohei, Takeuchi Kotaro, Yokoo Wataru). The unit was split in two, the singing trio K.K.K. and the roller/dance trio I.T.Y.

K.K.K. of the unit often appeared on Ya-Ya-yah’s variety show as hosts, and also on Shounen Club.

In 2003, the unit was split with Koyama, Kusano and Kato being chosen as members of the new unit called NEWS. For the duration of the year, K.K.Kity did perform together in Shounen Club, but the unit was officially disbanded in 2004, when news of NEWS’ debut was announced.
