* Ikuta Toma first took the audition for Johnny’s Jr. was in February 11, 1996. On the day he was scheduled to participate in a soccer game, but his mother took him to Johnnys audition instead lol. The next day he passed the audition and starred in the popular TV Show “Tensai Terebi-kun” afterwards. Some has said the actual date for Toma to entered the Johnnys was February 14, 1996. Johnny’s Jr. who also got accepted to Johnnys at the same time like him was Takashi Makoto (former Jr.). His first magazine debut was Potato 7 and Myojo 8, 1996 and after that he appeared in Johnny’s Jr. Directory Vol.1 Books. * Soon he was grouped with some members of the current J-pop unit, Arashi. Together, they formed a group called M.A.I.N. (which stands for each member’s family name: Matsumoto, Aiba, Ikuta, and Ninomiya). * After M.A.I.N., Toma was grouped again with a Jr. unit named B.I.G. (Bad Image Generation) along with ten other popular Juniors of that time. This is the time when he met Tomohisa Yamashita (NEWS), or YamaPi, with whom he is still very good friends. Soon, B.I.G. was reduced to just Toma and YamaPi. * In 2002, upon Tackey & Tsubasa’s graduation from Johnny's Jr., the group Four Tops was formed in order to replace them as leaders. The group consisted of 4 members: Ikuta, YamaPi, Jun Hasegawa and Shunsuke Kazama. Their job was to host Shounen Club and to lead the Johnny's Jr. * April 2003, NEWS was formed with YamaPi as the leader. This group debuted along with 9 members from Johnny’s Jr. Therefore, Four Tops disbanded and the fans started to call the rest of the members with 3Tops, not so long after that they started working solo. * As of June 2006, he became part of an unofficial group within Johnny's Entertainment called "No Border", which also includes Tomohisa Yamashita, Jun Matsumoto, Shingo Murakami (Kanjani8), Atsuhiro Satou (former Hikaru Genji), Koichi Domoto (Kinki Kids), Tatsuya Yamaguchi (TOKIO), and Hideaki Takizawa (Tackey & Tsubasa). It was formed when the 8 members from different JE groups met up for dinner and decided to name themselves "NO BORDER". They are known to interact freely, bypassing the senpai-kouhai relationships normally formed by Johnny's members. There is a 7-part round-robin on their J-webs about the formation of the group. Each member has a specific colour - White, Black, Red, Pink, Purple, Gold, Blue, and Grey. However, who holds which colour is still unknown. * Ikuta has already participated in numerous performances of Musical Stage Plays. One of his biggest breakthrough was his first leading role in the Shinkansen*NEXUS volume 2 stageplay "Cat in the Red Boots", as TOMA-sama. Furthermore, it's been decided that in October 2008, he will cast in a new stage play titled, "Grease" which will be held in Osaka and Tokyo. * Ikuta has his own mobile diary Jweb named Tomagoto (Toma’s words) where he could write his thoughts and experiences. Tomagoto series used to be temporary by the name of Tomagoto, Tomagoto Hyper, and Tomagoto NEO before it becoming a permanent Jweb on December 15, 2007 * Ikuta also has his own corner on Wink Up Magazine titled “Ikuta Toma no Ikita Kotoba”. On this corner he used to write a one page essay about his daily experiences and included pictures taken from his own camera [2] Past Units * Junichi&JJr * Strawberry Parfait * B.B.B * J-Boys * MAIN * B.I.G.
