Before debuting with Tokio, Kokubun, like other Tokio members, was a backup-dancer for Johnny's Entertainment boy bands, including Hikaru Genji.[3] In 1990 he became the keyboardist of Tokio, but it was not until 1994 that the band debuted.[3]
In 2004, Kokubun took a break from Tokio to form a temporary group with KinKi Kids member Tsuyoshi Domoto.[3] Together they released the theme song to Fantastipo, a movie in which they starred.
