Hirano Sho is a singer, actor, and entertainer born in Nagoya City, Japan. Since 2012, he has been represented by Johnny's. He began learning how to dance in the second year of elementary school and began learning acrobatics in junior high. For a time, he signed with the agency Central Japan in Nagoya. In April 2010, alongside Shimizu Tenki, he formed a dance performance unit. Additionally, he participated with Tenki in the predecessor project of what would become "BOYS AND MEN", a local all-male idol group in Nagoya alongside Tanaka Shunsuke and Hiramatsu Kento. They were active in stage performances as well as performing at events. While the early BOYS AND MEN didn't disclose the withdrawal of its members, Tenki mentioned that Hirano had withdrawn on his personal blog in September 2011. In his first year of high school, he participated in a dance training camp held by Bobby Yoshino, the choreographer of idol groups Hikaru GENJI and Shonentai. This resulted in him being able to join Johnny's without audition in February 2012. He began his career as a Kansai Johnny's Jr. He mentioned that he chose to be based in Kansai after getting a choice between that and Tokyo in order to better his dancing skills and because he was told there aren't a lot of activites in Tokyo. After entering the agency, his first activity was an appearance at a Sexy Zone concert. Soon after, he became a member of Kin Kan (King of Kansai), a unit with Mukai Koji and Kaneuchi Toma. After a time of commuting for work, he eventually moved to Tokyo. In 2014, he made his debut in the television drama "SHARK". In June 2015, the limited time unit Mr King VS Mr Prince was formed for the "TV Asahi Roppongi Hills Summer Festival SUMMER STATION" and he became a member of Mr King. The unit would actually be allowed to continue thereafter. In 2016, he surpassed the previously held records of Sashihara Rino by becoming the youngest chairman for "Johnny's Future World" at 19 as well as becoming the youngest troupe leader. In 2018, he appeared in the films "Honey" and "We Love", as well as the TV drama "Hana Nochi Hare". He would also go on to make his CD debut with King & Prince on May 23 with the theme song for "Cinderella Girl". On November 4th, 2022, it was revealed that Sho Hirano, Yuta Kishi, and Yuta Jinguji will leave King & Prince and Johnny & Associates and end their activities on May 22nd, 2023. On July 7, 2023, it was announced that he joined Takizawa Hideaki's new company TOBE. On October 15, 2023 it was announced that Sho Hirano, Yuta Kishi, and Yuta Jinguji formed a music group called Number_i under TOBE record label..
