Happy 29th Birthday to the gorgeous, hugely talented, top-selling singer, dancer, award-winning actor, Model, Fashion and Japanese Icon, the One & Only #ShoHirano! 👏��🎉🌟🇯🇵🐐👑❤️
Sho rose to fame as the Vocalist, dancer and centre of the top-selling Japanese Legendary Group #KingandPrince, and now shines as one of the 3 main Vocalists of the hugely successful chart-topping group #Number_i with Yuta Kishi & Yuta Jinguji! Known as the “Sellout King,” his signature husky voice, powerful hip-hop dance skills, and undeniable star power continue to captivate audiences worldwide! Sho is always a stand out during Number_i performances, with fans often praising his unique timbre and growing range, his incredible dance moves and his amazing charisma! Sho made his mark during the group’s electrifying performance at Coachella 2024, where they wowed audiences with their smash hit "GOAT". Sho also shone during the group's 7-city, 26-show nationwide tour in Japan in 2024 which drew massive audiences!
As a member of Number_i, Sho has reached remarkable milestones since the group’s formation on October 15, 2023, alongside Yuta Kishi and Yuta Jinguji. Their debut single, “GOAT,” released on January 1, 2024, soared to #1 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, immediately establishing their impact. Their follow-up single “INZM” continued their momentum by topping the Billboard Japan Hot 100. The release of “GOD_i” in 2025 continued to showcase Sho's evolving vocals and further expanded the group's global presence, debuting No.56 on the Worldwide iTunes Song Chart and #1 on the Japan Hot 100. Their 6th single “U.M.A.” also topped the Billboard Japan Hot 100 Downloads chart, and reached No.50 on the Worldwide iTunes Song Chart and No.58 on the YouTube Global Music Video Chart, while “NUrZ” debuted at No.63 on the Worldwide iTunes Song Chart and climbed to No.10 on the YouTube Global Music Video Chart. On January 15, 2026, Number_i achieved an extraordinary feat on Billboard JAPAN “Download Albums,” dominating the Top 3 for two consecutive weeks with 'DAiLY&LOVE' at #1, 'DAiLY&SUN' at #2 and 'DAiLY&CHILL' at #3!
As an actor, Sho has earned critical acclaim for his performance in the 2022 drama 'The Black Swindler' (クロサギ). His role in the series won him Best Actor at the 114th Television Drama Academy Awards!
Sho's accolades include a TV Station Drama Award in 2020 & 2022 for Best actor, a Nikkan Sports Drama Grand Prix Award for Best Actor in 2022 & 2023 and a Television Drama Academy Award for Best Actor in 2023! He is also in the hall of fame of the Japanese fashion magazine Vivi’s National Treasure Class Ikemen Ranking, after having ranked 1st place twice! Sho as a member of Number_i was honored at GQ Japan’s Men Of The Year 2024, taking home the award for “Best Music Group”.
In fashion, Sho’s influence has been groundbreaking. In 2024, he became the Asian Ambassador of YSL. On January 7, 2025, Sho further expanded his influence as he became a LouisVuitton Ambassador and was a sensation at this month's LVSS26 show in Paris where a huge group of fans greeted him screaming his name!
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Sho is deeply committed to giving back. As part of Number_i, he wrote the heartfelt lyrics for "Be On Your Side", a charity song whose proceeds supported children affected by the Noto Peninsula earthquake.
Making his birthday even more special, Number_i released their brand-new single “3XL” today, January 29, to celebrate Sho’s birthday!
