History
[edit | edit source]Hiromitsu Kitayama attended Horikoshi High School and graduated from Asia University in 2008. He entered Johnny's in 2002 and debuted in 2011 as member of Kis-My-Ft2. Kitayama left the group and the agency on 31 August 2023.
On 13 September 2023, a teaser video with the name "#Tobecontinued" was released on TOBE's official YouTube. The new artist was to be revealed on the 17, but voices in X (formerly Twitter) were already guessing the identity of the new member to be Kitayama, who had recently left Johnny's.[7] On 17 September 2023, Kitayama's identity was revealed, introducing him as TOBE's latest member. In the same video, his SNS and fanclub information was also shared.[8] He made his solo debut on 17 November with the release of the digital single "乱心-Ranshin-" (Ranshin=Ranshin).[9]
On December 20, 2025, it was announced that TOBE joined with Pony Canyon to establish new label "RED ON".
