As of 2008, he is the only one from the original four still active in the group.
At the age of 21, he landed his first lead role in the film Dream-Maker and also provided the film's theme song as well.
Later, he reiterated his love for the Kamen Rider series, which he performed the theme song to Kamen Rider 555.
