Johnnys was founded by Johnny Kitagawa in 1962, it is known for producing groups such as SMAP in 1988 and ARASHI in 1999. Before Naniwa Danshi there was a 3-member group called Naniwa Ouji (Naniwa Prince) but one of the members (Nagase Ren) had to move to Tokyo due to his father’s work. Nagase Ren then went on to join the 5-member group King & Prince which is under the same agency as Naniwa Danshi. In October 6th, 2018, Naniwa Danshi was formed. At the time Naniwa Danshi consisted of 4 younger members who were still in highschool and 3 older members. The members are Nishihata Daigo, Onishi Ryusei, Nagao Kento, Ohashi Kazuya, Fujiwara Joichiro, Takahashi Kyohei, and Michieda Shunsuke.
