[edit] Biography
Junnosuke Taguchi is the first T of KAT-TUN. He is known for dajare (Japanese word-puns), especially his hit phrase of "Iriguchi, Deguchi, Taguchi desu!" (Literally, Entrance, Exit, I'm Taguchi!) He uses dajare often on Cartoon KAT-TUN.
In 2004, Taguchi injured his knee and had to take a long hiatus from group activities after surgery. While KAT-TUN was performing in the theatre production "Dream Boy", Taguchi sustained a serious back injury in rehearsals. He was in the hospital for months and became very lonely. During his stay in the hospital, he became less confident in himself because the other KAT-TUN members didn't visit him much; he thought no one liked him. But then they came and brought gifts, and soon Taguchi was recovering well. He managed to overcome his back injury and return to dancing and acrobatics with the same vigor and dedication as before, which impressed his band mates.
