Masaki Aiba
Masaki Aiba (相葉 雅紀, Aiba Masaki) (born December 24, 1982) is a Japanese singer, actor, television personality, radio host and dancer under Johnny & Associates, later of Starto Entertainment. He was a member of the boy band Arashi until the end of activities of the group, May 31, 2026.
Aiba began his career in the entertainment industry when he joined the Japanese talent agency Johnny & Associates in 1996, at the age of 13. Prior to his debut with Arashi in 1999, Aiba started an acting career when he was cast as the lead role of Gordie for the stage play Stand by Me, based on the film of the same name. In 2004, he became one of the co-hosts of the variety show Tensai Shimura Dōbutsuen (天才！志村どうぶつ園, Genius! Shimura Zoo), making him the first member of Arashi to regularly participate in a variety show not primarily hosted by Arashi.
Aiba was born in Hanamigawa, Chiba as the first child of his family. He has a younger brother who is four years younger. Aiba was raised by his grandparents until he was four years old because his parents were busy running their newly opened Chinese cuisine restaurant then.
Prior to joining Johnny & Associates, Aiba watched a program called Love Love SMAP (愛ラブSMAP, Ai Rabu SMAP) and saw SMAP playing basketball on television. Wanting to play basketball with them, he sent in the application to join the talent agency himself, without exactly knowing what the agency specialized in until the day of auditions. Aiba became a Johnny's Jr. in August 1996 at the age of 13.
In collaboration with the other members, he has written the lyrics to "Fight Song" and "5x10".
For his solo song "Hello Goodbye", Aiba played the blues harp harmonica in the interlude portion of the song. Aiba also used to play the saxophone; however, due to the collapse of one of his lungs in 2002, he was forced to stop playing.
Aiba began acting in a 1997 stage play based on an American coming of age film called Stand by Me with future bandmates Jun Matsumoto and Kazunari Ninomiya.
In 2005, Aiba took up the lead role of Keiji Takashima (高島 啓治, Takashima Keiji), a naive but honest station attendant living in a world after a World War III nuclear war, in Tsubame no Iru Eki (燕のいる駅, A Station with Swallows).
