Hiromitsu Kitayama attended Horikoshi High School and graduated from Asia University in 2008. He entered Johnny's in 2002 and debuted in 2011 as member of Kis-My-Ft2. Kitayama left the group and the agency on 31 August 2023.

On 13 September 2023, a teaser video with the name "#TOBECONTINUED" was released on TOBE's official YouTube.
