His mom made him audition for JE
He may be one of the funniest guys in the group, but he's really sincere when he's thanking the audience.
Loves to talk, once he interrupted Hina's story...Hina turned out to be pissed...and Yoko just continued (on Domoto Kyoudai)
Writes the songs for 3Kyoudai, or at least some of them.
He recently appeared in a drama with Ohno Satoshi of Arashi...i forget the name of it though...
He hosts a radio show with Murakami Shingo.
Aiba Masaki from Arashi claims that Yoko is one of his better friends....as I read in an Arashi article....o_O although this may not be true? haha i have no idea! -_-'

Also a member of NewS like Nishikido Ryo, they are good friends.
Has the highest voice i've ever heard from a Johnny O_O
He was the lead singer of V. West and played a little guitar.
Is known for crying...
He's so skinny that I sometimes think he's anorexic, this boy needs muscle!
This is just my opinion....I think he looks like a combination of Takizawa Hideaki and Yamashita Tomohisa...I dunno why, certain angles he looks like a REALLY skinny Takki, and other angles when he's not smiling he kinda reminds me of Yamapi

Personally, I think his voice has changed since their debut...honestly i think it was better back then, but hey i still love to listen to him.
He's a member of 3kyoudai (he's the youngest brother, Baru) and Subaru BAND-now known as Subaru and OkuraBAND (obviously)
This guy has a voice for enka....my grandmother loves him.
He left the Kansai Jrs for a little while and moved to Tokyo when he was around 17.

Specialties: Drummer, does the real ero ero dance, has a low voice for a johnny
Dramas: Cinderella ni Naritai, Kamerishi, Double, Utahime
He's the tallest member and is also the youngest since Uchi Hiroki left. (reminds me of the clip where Yassu was standing next to Jimmy Mackey and commented that he could only see up his nose, just like his view of standing near Okura)
He respects Morita Go from V6, he is the reason that Okura joined JE
His nickname Tacchon, was given to him by Yassu. He said that he's okay with being called just Okura though. Shingo and Yoko call him Tatsuyoshi because they claim it's too hard to pronounce Tadayoshi.
You can check out his current weird nicknames on K8's appearance on Utaban...the same ep. with the Shocking Game! Okura is part of Kanjimi3 and Subaru BAND which is now named OkuraBAND.
He is the drummer.
He's only become popular recently, a few years ago not too many fans knew he existed, now he's one of the hottest celebs! Nishikido Ryo told JE that Okura deserved more camera time.
Murakami Shingo once commented that Okura is the most boring member of k8---i guess that's his way of saying that Okura is mellow, he also commented that Okura tends to space out during conversations. ^___^
He is the quiet and more reserved type, though there are those few moments where he shows his true Osaka self. He's known to be the naughtiest Kanjani8 member....especially when he dances
