Born and raised in Edogawa, Tokyo, he joined the Japanese talent agency, Johnny & Associates, at the age of 12 and was drafted as a member and co-lead vocalist of the popular J-pop group KAT-TUN in 2001. The group officially debuted in 2006, and has since achieved a string of chart successes with all 6 albums and 20 singles reaching number 1 on the Oricon charts since debut.
He is also one half of the temporary group Shūji to Akira with Yamashita Tomohisa. The only single "Seishun Amigo" became the best-selling single of 2005 in Japan.
Though not a consistent lyricist, Kame has written several songs often under a pen name. He wrote "Kizuna" for "Gokusen 2" which was listed in "Seishun Amigo" single. A duet with member Taguchi Junnosuke called "Special Happiness" listed in KAT-TUN's 1st album "Best of KAT-TUN".
During KAT-TUN's 2009 summer arena tour, he debuted a song which he co-wrote with Satomi and Yuka Kawamura titled as "Aishiteiru Kara (愛しているから?)" in Ginowan, Okinawa on July 22, 2009 and performed it live with guitar accompaniment throughout the tour; it was listed in "Love Yourself (Kimi ga Kirai na Kimi ga Suki)" single.
In magazine MAQUIA June 2011 issue, Kame revealed that "1582" listed in KAT-TUN's 4th album "Break the Records -by you & for you-" was actually written by himself. He didn't make it public in advance because probably if the listeners knew it before, they would read deep into it and change perspective. He doesn't want to say it because he wants them to enjoy that world purely, as the piece of work that it is.
Kame has also established himself as an actor with award-winning roles in "Nobuta wo Produce", "Gokusen 2", "Kami no Shizuku", "Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge" and "Yokai Ningen Bem". There are total of 4 movies "Yuuki"; "Gokusen The Movie"; "Yokai Ningen Bem The Movie" and "Ore Ore" which Kame is the lead actor.

Message from director Satoshi Miki on the occasion of receiving MY MOVIES AWARD at UDINE FEFF2013.
I am so honored to have this award on the world premiere of my latest movie, IT'S ME, IT'S ME. I would like to thank the festival director Ms. Sabrina Baracetti, and all the staffs involved to make this happen. I like to say that the warmest love towards the film from fans all over the world make myself, such a uncultivated and barren film director like me, feel so much encouraged. I am pretty sure that all the supports are given to my lead actor Kazuya Kamenashi. I strongly believe that he soon will be one of the best actor for Japanese films. So, please, people in Udine, to keep your eyes on him for his future works, I am sure you would be certain at some point, that you were the first one to acknowledge his talent.
I really hope that this award give the film more chance to make everyone becomes "ME(ore)".
Thank you very much and your sincerely,
Satoshi MIki, April 28, 2013
