Shit Kingz
Shit Kingz (シットキングス, Shitto Kingusu, stylized as s**t kingz), also known as ST Kingz, is a Japanese dance and performance troupe who have also choreographed dances for multiple Japanese and South Korean artists.[1]
Career
Shit Kingz first performed together in October 2007,[1][2] as Daichi Miura's back-up dancers.[3] The group name originated from the word "incontinence" (失禁, shikkin), which the members had intended as a hyperbole of having their audience "pee themselves" from the shock of seeing their performance; however, as the word is considered profanity in Japanese, they opted to use a word from a different language that would express a similar meaning.[4] In 2010, several members performed as back-up dancers in BoA's Christmas concert.[2] From 2010 to 2011, they were winners of the American dance contest, Body Rock, for two years in a row.[2] Over the course of their career, they have choreographed for Japanese and South Korean artists including AAA, Winds, Daichi Miura, various groups from Johnny & Associates,[2] TVXQ, Shinee, and Exo.[5]
In 2016, Shit Kingz performed in their self-produced stage play Wonderful Clunker, to which Daichi Miura performed on the soundtrack.[3] In 2018, they performed their stage play, The Library, with 30 shows in seven locations.[6] They released their first album of the same name independently on December 7, 2018, with music produced by them.[6] In 2019, they choreographed the dance in the ending sequence of the anime Business Fish.[7]
