Information

Kato Shigeaki joined Johnny's Entertainment in April of 1999 and was in the unit J-Support a.k.a K.K.Kity before he was selected to be in NEWS. He is often recognized as the smartest member of NEWS and also the one with the least self-confidence. He plays guitar and has composed a few songs with Yamashita Tomohisa and Tegoshi Yuya.

Shige is an avid writer and writes his blog from the perspective of a fictional cat named Wagahai. This is in parody of the popular book by Natsume Soseki entitled "Wagahai wa Neko de Aru" or I Am a Cat. Currently he is attending Aoyama University studying law.

Trivia

  • He loves cats, but sadly, is allergic. Therefore, his J-web entries are written from his "imaginary" cat Wagahai's point of view. In some way or another, Wagahai mentions Koyama and Koyama's cat Nyanta. They manage to set up "play dates" together. The name "Wagahai" probably pays homage to the famous Japanese novel "Wagahai wa neko de aru" (I Am a Cat) by Natsume Sōseki.
  • Kato Shigeaki, who is usually called "Shige", became a member of NEWS, together with Koyama Keiichiro and Kusano Hironori, after they were all in K.K.Kity, one of the Johnny's Jr. groups.
  • For quite a while he was known as the most "underloved" and "underpromoted" member of NEWS, comparing to other members. Even though he is considered as the most intelligent and smart person among members, he seemed to rarely get chances to prove his abilities. However, after the return of NEWS, he has gradually been promoted and become more popular with changes in his appearance.
  • He watches a lot of Japanese movies.
  • He generally bad at sports with the exception of basketball and tennis.
