The star was formerly a member of the dance crew SickStep. He even made it to the final 20 in Season 2 of So You Think You Can Dance (SYTYCD).

The artist has also served as one of the judges on The World's Best, representing Japan. According to his website, Hokuto is "on constant mission to push the boundaries of human perception & to discover new expressions of beauty and has worked with the world's top talents in the entertainment industry."


Hokuto got engaged to Gina Atkinson in 2019 and the couple shared the news of their engagement on Instagram. The latter wrote in the post:

"The most beautiful sunset in the most beautiful place with my favorite person in the whole world. Without a doubt you're the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. Here's to 6 years and forever to go! @hok #konishipartyof2 technically 3...cause you know Moe"
