KinKi Kids
Domoto (stylized in all caps) is a Japanese duo consisting of Koichi Domoto and Tsuyoshi Domoto under the talent agency Starto Entertainment (formerly of Johnny & Associates). Domoto was formed in 1993 as KinKi Kids and officially debuted on July 21, 1997. With more than 30 million physical copies sold, they are one of the best selling boy groups in Asian history and top 20 best-selling artists of all time in Japan. Although the members share the same surname, the only relation they have to each other is that they both hail from the Kinki region, hence the duo's name.
Domoto holds the Guinness World Records for having the most consecutive No.1 singles since debut (47 works) and the most consecutive years with a Japanese No.1 single (28 years, 1997–2024). They have 20 No.1 albums of which 14 are consecutive, making them the artist who has the third most No.1 albums in Japan. Since 1998, the duo has held 60 concerts at Tokyo Dome, making them the artist to hold the most concerts at the Dome.
In 2025, KinKi Kids announced their name change to Domoto, which occurred on July 21 of that year.
