Biography
Satoshi Ohno is a Japanese idol, singer, actor, artist, and radio host. He is the lead vocalist and leader of Japanese boy band Arashi, hence his nickname Leader (リーダー Rīdā?).
Born in Mitaka, Tokyo, Ohno began his career in the entertainment industry when he joined the Japanese talent agency Johnny & Associates in 1994 at the age of 13. Ohno started an acting career in 1997 when he was cast to be part of the stage play Kyo to Kyo. In 2008, almost nine years after his debut as a singer with Arashi in 1999, Ohno became the first and the only artist from Johnny's to hold and open his own art exhibit titled "Freestyle" and received his first starring role in a Japanese television drama, for which he earned a handful of Best Actor awards.

Trivia

• Ohno is the most teased member, as well as being the most talked-about member, in Arashi.
• Ohno has a very active and wandering imagination. Therefore, he seems to look shy and quiet in his TV appearances.
• Ohno’s inspiration, mentor and personal manager is his Mother.
• Ohno is far-sighted. Like Jun Matsumoto (who is near-sighted), he wears glasses only for reading, and wears contacts for public appearances.
• When they were recording A.Ra.Shi, he didn’t know that was their debut song.
• Their third day in Hawaii, (one week before Arashi debuted), was when he realized that they’re debuting.
• Ohno prefers acting in plays to dramas/movies.
• Acting makes him nervous, but he likes doing concerts.
• He watches all his concert videos.
• He still takes the train to go to places.
• He doesn’t watch much TV.
• He is the most artful of all the Arashi members. Aside from his talent in singing, dancing, and acting, Ohno is actually good in drawing. In the O No Arashi tv series, Ohno’s task was to pick three pictures and draw a scene that would put the elements in the pictures altogether to come up with a story. The output was usually interestingly good. Ohno is also good at creating clay art. In one of the interviews, he revealed that he already has a collection of clay artworks which he focused on doing one summer.
