Toma Ikuta

Article


is a Japanese talent artist part of Johnny's Jr. under the supervision of Johnny & Associates.
His family consists of his father Hideki, a mother named Hiromi, a younger brother named Ryuusei, and a dog named JAM. His father wanted to name him Ikuta Tamegorou, but his mother changed it to Toma because it was easier to pronounce. He used to be called Toma, Touma, or Toma-chan by his family and friends. Younger juniors in the agency called him Toma-san and that morphed to Tomasu. This name was his “trademark” while he hosted a segment named Meitantei Tomasu in the Shounen Club program.

Career

Toma used to be in a variety show for kids called Tensai Terebi kun. Being a member of a then all-children band called Strawberry Parfait, he was popular with the audience. He was then offered an opportunity to join Johnny's Entertainment, together with a fellow bandmate in Strawberry Parfait, Maiku Iida (who is presently the other half of the singing duo, J Boyz). Toma auditioned and got accepted; he started to participate under Johnny's Jr in February 1996.
