Yūichi Nakamaru (中丸雄一 Nakamaru Yuuichi?, born on September 4, 1983 in Kita-ku, Tokyo, Japan), is a Japanese idol, singer-songwriter, actor, television personality, radio host, and a member of KAT-TUN.
He joined the talent agency Johnny & Associates in 1998 and then officially debuted as part of KAT-TUN in 2006.
Individually, he has acted in numerous drama serials and is most known as a commentator and host of his own segment on NTV information variety show "Sunday Countdown Show Shūichi".
Nakamaru was born in Kita-ku, but raised in Sumida-ku, Tokyo. He is the oldest child in a family of five composed of his parents and two younger sisters with 6 and 4 years age difference respectively. He has a fear of heights and phobia of needles.
His reason for applying to Johnny & Associates was that in the last year of junior high school, a female classmate who liked Johnny's idols told him to try out and prepared his application form to the point that he only needed to sign it.
His special skill is in beatboxing and this talent has been recognized by various other celebrities such as Rag Fair's Okkun and Masi Oka.
In April 2008, he entered Waseda University and majored in Human Environmental Sciences through the university's undergraduate correspondence course e-school. He successfully graduated in March 2013.
