[edit]Biography

Yamashita Tomohisa, born April 9, 1985, also widely known as Yamapi, is a Japanese idol, actor and singer. He is active as a solo artist and a former member of the Japanese boyband NEWS. Yamashita joined the Japanese talent agency Johnny & Associates in 1996 at the age of 11 and made his official CD debut with NEWS in 2004. He debuted as a solo artist in 2006 with the hit single Daite Senorita. Yamashita graduated from Meiji University's faculty of commerce in the fall of 2008 with a degree in marketing.
