* Solo single, "Kimi ni Okuru Uta" is to be released on 14th of February, Valentine's Day, with Wentz's solo song "Lucky de Happy" as the b-side song.

[edit] Personal Profile

[edit] Family

* Immediate family consists of Father, Mother, Little brother.
* The name "Teppei" came from his father's favourite manga, "Ore wa Teppei"

[edit] Wentz

* He is really good friends with Wentz. They often visit each other's houses, watch movies and go out to eat together. When they were doing street lives, they often borrowed each other's clothes.

* Teppei calls Wentz "Ei-chan".

* They have spent Christmas together ever since they met. (The first year, they took purikura in Shinjuku; the second year, they ran the maranthon for their indies debut PV; the third year, they ate at a hamburger shop; the fourth year was a WaT event and love*con photoshoot)

* For Wentz's 20th birthday, Teppei bought him a lot of underwear (Wentz has showed up on variety TV wearing just underwear a lot of times)

* In "Bokura no Ibasho" (a manga based on Teppei's life story), Teppei said the only thing he had in common with Wentz was their love of music. Other than that, they are complete opposite. ("If we were in the same class or something, I definitely think we wouldn't be friends" - quote from "Bokura no Ibasho")

Hey, I blame you guys for making me curious about this thread! I never thought I'd be posting here...

Well, I have no idea what idolized image his fans have of him, but Teppei is actually a nice guy, seeing him speak as himself on TV....

errrrrr.....epigene, if he is a nice guy is beside the point here. Heck, even I could be a nice guy every once in a while. The question here is, "IS HE JUST SOOOOOOOOOO KAWAII!?".

I, personally, think he is super super cute, just a dimple away from being downright yummilicious.

I mean, have you seen him in the new drama series in which he courageously portrays a police officer?? How adorable is he!?

OK, young ladies, we geezers will now go away so you can continue on with your discussion. Very sorry to have interrupted.

I'm not usually into those young idol pretty boys, but I like Koike's smiley face. He's got those eyes and expression that make him seem friendly and happy all the time and I like that, although, frankly, such happy faces bore me after a little while and while I can appreciate them, I actually hate the ever-happy, naieve type he looks like. But he's still kinda cute, but I can't call myself a fan or anything.

He really is very (人気、ninki) popular in Japan, but I have to be honest... He looks tooooo Cute.
I like his singing partner a lot more, but maybe that's because I watch Ainori.

edit: Even though you disagree with someone, can we please have some respect. If you don't like a thread, you don't have to post in it. Thank you.

Please try to understand that some of us can't just come right out and admit they luv a teenybopper idol singer/actor, and the only way they can express their feelings is by making a joke out of it....

Did you see him dressed up like a waitress in a maid-cafe on the other night's episode????? OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!
