B.I.O.G.R.A.P.H.Y
He entered Johnny's Entertainment when he was 11 years old. He is affectionately called Yamapi (short for Yamashita and pink) by his friends.
Since joining JE, he has been a member of Jr. groups B.I.G., Four Tops, and most recently NEWS. Yamashita began to appear in television dramas soon after he joined JE. In 2000, at age 15, his performance in Ikebukuro West Gate Park earned him an award for "Best Supporting Actor". That same year, he was voted first place in the Annual Junior Awards for "Best Boyfriend", "Most Beautiful", etc. for the first time.
In September 2003, eight other boys from Johnny's Juniors were chosen to form the group NEWS with Yamashita as the leader. NEWS's formation came as a shock to not only the fans of Four Tops but its own members as well. Yamashita later revealed that at the time, aside from Ryo Nishikido, he had barely talked to any of the other group members.
NEWS made its formal debut on May 12, 2004. Since its debut, NEWS has had seven consecutive #1 singles on the Oricon Ranking Chart.
In October 2005, Yamashita and Kazuya Kamenashi from KAT-TUN formed Shuuji to Akira to promote their drama, Nobuta wo Produce. It was named after their characters in the show, Shuuji and Akira. They also released a single, Seishun Amigo, as Shuuji to Akira, which sold over one million copies in four weeks. Seishun Amigo was the number one best selling single on the Oricon Yearly Single Rankings for 2005.
In spring 2006, Yamashita starred in "Kurosagi: The Black Swindler", a drama based on the manga of the same name. For this purpose, Yamashita recorded his single "Daite Seorita" which was #1 in the Oricon ranking.
Yamashita returned as a member of NEWS on December 31st 2006 on Johnny's Countdown 2006-2007.
Yamashita, along with KAT-TUN's Koki Tanaka and Kis-my-ft2's Taisuke Fujigaya, also starred in Byakkotai, a mini-drama in two parts that aired in January, 2007, and is currently starring in a drama entitled Proposal Daisakusen, airing from April to June, 2007.
