Shō Hirano

Walking away from Johnny & Associates in May 2023 was not a small decision. Sho Hirano had a debuted group in King & Prince and the most powerful agency in Japanese entertainment behind him, and he left both at twenty-six, in an industry where leaving has historically meant disappearing. Then Number i happened and the recklessness started looking like a plan. On stage he is precise and athletic; off it, scattered and funny. Audiences love that gap, but the nerve is the part that will age well.
