[edit] Biography
Satoshi Ohno, the oldest member of Arashi, is the reluctant "leader" of the group, elected, after winning against Sho Sakurai in a round of rock-paper-scissors on a Japanese variety show. The exact same pattern of him unwillingly 'winning' against Sho has been seen repeating many times ever since. He is the oldest person in the group and sings all lead vocals. Although he has stated that he wanted to avoid becoming the leader the most, Arashi members stated in an interview that Ohno is a new-age idol, who leads his group by not leading at all. Aside from vocal work, he is known to be the best dancer and has the greatest control when it comes to singing in Arashi, and is known to be one of the best in singing and dancing in Johnny's Entertainment. He choreographs several of their dance moves for the arashi concerts, which the other members sometimes find quite hard to follow. Other artists from the same company openly expressed their admiration for Ohno's dancing; among them are Imai Tsubasa of the duo Tackey & Tsubasa, Kokubun Taichi of TOKIO, Yuuri Chinen of the newly-debuted group Hey! Say! JUMP, and other juniors. He is also one half of the Arashi skit duo Ohmiya SK, partnering Kazunari Ninomiya. Out of all the members, he has appeared in the fewest dramas, preferring to do stage plays or focus on his art. He performed his first solo concert on January 29, 2006. He became the first artist in Johnny's who held an art exhibit, which was entitled, "Freestyle".
