Noriyuki Higashiyama (東山 紀之, Higashiyama Noriyuki, born September 30, 1966 in Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Japan) is a Japanese businessman and former singer, actor, and member of the idol group Shonentai. He is married to actress Yoshino Kimura.[1]
In September 2023 Higashiyama became the chief executive of Johnny & Associates following the sexual abuse scandal involving late company founder Johnny Kitagawa.[2]
Career
Higashiyama performed for the last time as an entertainer on December 26, 2023. The show, 東山紀之 DINNER SHOW, which had last taken place in 2002, was held in Osaka and Tokyo, for the 2023 edition. Surrounded by excited voices, applause and audience singing, Higashiyama sung a total of 24 songs, which included songs from his time as a member of Shonentai, while in the background, nostalgic images from several moments of his artistic life, as well as a sort of an end roll with a record of his performances until then, ended with a thank you message.[3]
Higashiyama appeared in what is considered his last acting performance on television in 2023, on TV Asahi's historical drama Hissatsu series, which he took over in 2007 as main protagonist. The series' special drama Hissatsu Shigotonin, aired on 29 December 2023.[4]
