OK...before I go on.......Okura is probably my second fave johnny of all time (Hideaki Takizawa is the first). He is AWESOME!! Of course he's my fave in kanjani8, check out the wide selection of wallpapers I have hahaha. SO, this page might be a bit biased....-_-'---this is like my shrine to him hahahaha...there aren't many around...

• Fave Colors: Black, green, white
• Specialties: Drummer, does the real ero ero dance, has a low voice for a johnny
• Dramas: Cinderella ni Naritai, Kamerishi, Double, Utahime (airing now)

• He's the tallest member and is also the youngest since Uchi Hiroki left. (reminds me of the clip where Yassu was standing next to Jimmy Mackey and commented that he could only see up his nose, just like his view of standing near Okura)
• He respects Morita Go from V6, he is the reason that Okura joined JE
• His nickname Tacchon, was given to him by Yassu. He said that he's okay with being called just Okura though.
  • Shingo and Yoko call him Tatsuyoshi because they claim it's too hard to pronounce Tadayoshi.
  • You can check out his current weird nicknames on K8's appearance on Utaban...the same ep. with the Shocking Game!
• Okura is part of Kanjimi3 and Subaru BAND which is now named OkuraBAND.
• He is the drummer.
• He's only become popular recently, a few years ago not too many fans knew he existed, now he's one of the hottest celebs! Nishikido Ryo told JE that Okura deserved more camera time.
  • Murakami Shingo once commented that Okura is the most boring member of k8---i guess that's his way of saying that Okura is mellow, he also commented that Okura tends to space out during conversations. haha
  • He is the quiet and more reserved type, though there are those few moments where he shows his true Osaka self.
• He's known to be the naughtiest Kanjani8 member....especially when he dances...but that's fine with me LOL.--ero ero
• I personally think he has replaced Uchi Hiroki for lead vocals which I think is odd because Okura has a really low voice, while Uchi had an extremely high voice, but I prefer Okura (don't kill me Uchi fans!!). He does sing Uchi's parts in older songs like Eden and Do You Agree.
• He has the lowest voice in K8
• His family owns a chain of yakinikus--YUMMY
