Career
In 2008, B.I.Shadow was formed as a Johnny's Jr. group. At that time the members were: Kento Nakajima, Fuma Kikuchi, and Misaki Takahata. During that year, they acted in the television drama Scrap Teacher.
On September 29, 2011, it was announced that a new five-member group called Sexy Zone would be formed and become a special supporter of "FIVB World Cup Volleyball 2011". Kikuchi was part of the group.[2]
In April 2024, Kikuchi reported the opening of a personal fan club, with special benefits for early registrants, and a fan club member-exclusive event in Autumn.[3] It was also reported that Kikuchi had established an agent contract with the agency.[4]
Kikuchi was appointed brand ambassador for Domino's Japan in September 2024.[5] In November 2025, he was appointed as brand ambassador for Koizumi Seiki's Koizumi Beauty.[6]
On February 7, 2026, Kikuchi released his first photobook. According to an interview during the book's release press conference, the one who inspired him to make it was Hey! Say! JUMP's Ryosuke Yamada, who had released his own to celebrate his 30th birthday. The name of the book, "Latido", was chosen as a consequence of the place where the photoshoot took place, San Sebastián in Spain. Kikuchi commented that he wanted the book to have a Spanish name, and he chose that name because of its meaning, "heartbeat". Kikuchi wanted people to "feel" his heartbeat in every photo.[7] The book ranked 1st in its first week on the "Billboard Japan Book Hot 100" chart.[8]
Kikuchi hosts his first music program starting in April 2026, with a special episode airing in March for the Kanto area. Yoru no oto ~Tokyo Midnight Music~ (夜の音 -TOKYO MIDNIGHT MUSIC-) is a program that draws out the true feelings of the artists. With one artist per week, it examines the meaning behind their songs.[9]
