Early life
Ohno was born in Mitaka, Tokyo as the youngest child of his family. He has one older sister. During middle school, his mother sent in his application to Johnny & Associates without his knowledge.[1] An invitation to audition was sent back to Ohno, and he subsequently became a trainee in October 1994.[2] In order to focus on the stage play Kyo to Kyo, which ran from 1997 to 1998 during his trainee days, he withdrew from high school and moved to Kyoto.[1]
Music career
For music-related releases and activities as a member of Arashi, see Arashi.Before his music debut with Arashi, Ohno wanted to resign from Johnny & Associates. However, then-president Johnny Kitagawa asked him to help out with a song recording and to pack up for a trip to Hawaii, which turned out to be the place where the press conference announcing the formation of Arashi was held.[3] With Ohno at the age of 18 at the time, Arashi was officially formed on September 15, 1999 and made their CD debut on November 3, 1999.[4] Since much of his trainee days was spent in Kyoto, he was the least known member during Arashi's early days.[5]
Ohno is the lead vocalist of Arashi.[6] Although his music career is primarily with Arashi, he had solo concert called 3104 (which can be read as his name Satoshi in Japanese) in 2006[7] and became the first member in Arashi to release a solo single in 2009.[8] He has also choreographed a few dances for Arashi's concerts, such as the dance for the song "Carnival Night Part 2".[9]
Ohno also is the only member in the group that has released his own solo single for his previous drama soundtrack Uta no Onii-san title Kumorinochi, Kaisei by Yano Kenta starring Satoshi Ohno

In January 2010, Ohno co-starred with the other members of Arashi in the human suspense drama special Saigo no Yakusoku (最後の約束 Last Promise ). Ohno portrayed Satoru Mashiko (益子 悟 Mashiko Satoru ), a 28-year-old employee of a cleaning company who is caught up in a building hijack.[18][19] On February 11, 2010, it was announced that Ohno is set to star in the live-action adaptation of the manga and anime Kaibutsu-kun, which began airing on NTV from April at 9:00 pm (JST) on Saturdays.[20][21]
Ohno made a guest appearance on the last episode of bandmate Sakurai's drama Tokujo Kabachi!! (特上カバチ!! lit.
