Kyohei Takahashi (高橋 恭平, Takahashi Kyōhei, born February 28, 2000) is a Japanese idol, actor, and singer. He is a member of the boy band Naniwa Danshi, formed under Starto Entertainment.

Early life

Takahashi played basketball during his elementary and junior high school years, but retired from the sport in his third year of junior high school.[1][2]

After seeing this, his older sister decided to submit his application to the agency, believing he should pursue another path. Although he was not informed about the audition until the day before and initially refused to attend, he ultimately participated at her insistence and successfully passed.[3]

He joined the agency on November 23, 2014, alongside future Naniwa Danshi members Shunsuke Michieda and Kento Nagao.[4]

Career

In October 2018, he was selected as a member of Naniwa Danshi, a Kansai Johnny's Jr. unit, which significantly raised his public profile.[5]

The following year, he made his acting debut in the television drama special Kizuna no Pedal, broadcast as part of the 24 Hour Television: Love Saves The Earth in August 2019.[6]

He officially debuted as a member of Naniwa Danshi on November 12, 2021, with the single "Ubu Love", marking his transition from a junior talent to a major-label artist.[7][8]

In March 2023, Takahashi took on his first leading role in the film And Yet, You Are So Sweet (Naniwa Chigira-kun ga Amasugiru.), further establishing his presence as an actor.[9]

In February 2026, he launched his official Instagram account, expanding his activities into social media.[10]
