Bishounen (美少年)
Johnny's Junior
About
Bishounen is a Junior group under the management of Johnny's and Associates. As of now, they have not yet debuted. They are a six member group that was formed in November 2016 and made their first official appearance on The Shounen Club December 21, 2016. Over the years they have been known by several names including: Tokyo B Shounen (東京B少年) and Sexy Bishounen (Sexy美少年). Bishounen are probably best known for the way that they try to infuse elements of traditional Japanese performance skills with Western elements of performance. Similarly to Sexy Zone's XY, the 美 (Bi) in their is often written in red too. The group have been members of the Johnny's Junior YouTube channel since 2018 and usually post on Saturday's.

Taisho Joined Johnny's on May 2, 2015. He was originally a member of HiHi Jet (joined October 23, 2015) but was moved to Classmate J. He was encouraged to sing Enka by Johnny Kitagawa (the founder of Johnny and Associates) because he loved to sing and had problems dancing and talking when he first joined as stated in Ride on Time. When Classmate J was disbanded he was moved into Tokyo B Shounen along with Fujii. Taisho seems to enjoy cooking and has started showing this skill on YouTube. Taisho's favourite sushi is Japanese marinated mackerel. One of his sweetest points has to be that he counts his pet as the fifth member of his family. If he could have any of the other members as a younger brother it would be Ryuga.

The other boys enjoy playfully teasing him. Nasu says that his favourite historical person is Oda Nobunaga because while he was reading his biography he realised how manly he was. He says that is he could have any member of the group as a younger brother it would be Kanasashi, but he doesn't think that he would like to have Ryuga as a brother because he's annoying, though he might consider having him as a pet.
