KinKi Kids
KinKi Kids is a Japanese duo consisting of Koichi Domoto and Tsuyoshi Domoto under the talent agency Johnny & Associates. Although the members share the same surname, the only relation they have to each other is that they both hail from the Kinki region, hence the duo's name. KinKi Kids hold the Guinness World Records for having the most number of consecutive No.1 singles since debut.
History
1991–1996: Pre-debut activities
The duo first met each other during a Hikaru Genji concert at Yokohama Arena on May 5, 1991. From then on, the two began to appear together in magazine photoshoots together though they did not have a formal name, going through several temporary names such as Johnny's Kansai Group (ジャニーズ関西組 Janīzu Kansai Kumi), Domoto Brothers (堂本ブラザーズ Domoto Burazazu) and W Domoto (W堂本), before being introduced as Kanzai Boya (カンサイボーヤ) by the end of 1992 when they were backup dancers for SMAP. On the first episode of SMAP's variety show Kiss Shita? SMAP (キスした?SMAP), which began on April 4, 1993, SMAP leader Masahiro Nakai decided that the name was to be "KinKi Kids" when the two joined the show as regulars. Months later, Koichi and Tsuyoshi both appeared in their first drama together called Ningen Shikkaku (人間・失格 Unfit Human), which had a peak rating of 28.9% on its final episode. On December 31, 1994, KinKi Kids held their first concert at the Budokan.
