The band formed as students at [[Okinawa Actors School]] in 1996. They made their debut on the [[Avex Trax]] [[subsidiary]] avex tune under the guidance of producer [[Akio Togashi]] on June 11, 1997, with "Feelin' Good - It's Paradise". As one of the few male bands unassociated with [[Johnny's Entertainment]], they were the first to gain major popularity reaching their peak in 2001 with the release of ''Da Best of Da Pump''. {{nihongo\|'''DA PUMP'''\|ダパンプ\|da pampu}} is a popular [[Japan]]ese singing and dancing [[hip hop music\|hip hop]] group consisting of four members from [[Okinawa]], Japan. They are the first all male vocal group to graduate from Okinawa's Actor School which also trained superstars, [[Namie Amuro]], [[SPEED (band)\|SPEED]], and [[MAX (band)\|MAX]]. Debuting on the [[avex trax\|avex tune]] sublabel of the indies giant [[avex trax]], DA PUMP was the first "boyband" to successfully penetrate the market monopolized by [[Johnny's Entertainment]]. On April 7, 2006, Shinobu formally left the band following a hiatus due to a drunk driving incident in 2005.<ref>{{cite web\|title=DA PUMPからSHINOBUこと宫良忍が脱退を発表\|url=http://www.bounce.com/news/daily.php/7587\|access-date=2009-05-25\|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090529075347/http://www.bounce.com/news/daily.php/7587\|archive-date=2009-05-29\|url-status=dead}}</ref> The band went on an unofficial hiatus at the end of 2006.

It was announced on December 5, 2009, that Ken Okumoto had left Da Pump to pursue a solo career, leaving Issa the only original member left. Da Pump now consists of Issa, Kenzo, Tomo, Kimi, Yori, and U-Yeah. Da Pump made their comeback in May 2018 with the hit single, "[[U.S.A. (Da Pump song)\|U.S.A.]]", a song originally written by Italian singer Joe Yellow. ==Biography== Famed for their ability in both dancing and singing, Da Pump's debut came in 1997, with the song "Feelin Good - It's Paradise" and breaking through with "Rhapsody in Blue" (and using the song as their entry on the "white" team during the 1998 [[Kōhaku Uta Gassen]]). The band originally came from [[Okinawa Actors School]] but are now part of the [[Avex Trax\|Avex Network]] and are produced by [[Akio Togashi]]. Their songs tend to have a quick tempo and often include elements of [[rapping\|rap]]. Da Pump often appears in [[TV show]]s, [[film\|movie]]s, and [[magazine]]s throughout Japan. Issa has stated that he is a fan of the long-running [[Kamen Rider Series]] [[tokusatsu]] programs, and has contributed to the soundtracks of ''[[Kamen Rider 555]]'' with its opening theme "Justi<span lang="ja" style="letter-spacing: -0.25em">φ</span>'s" and its film's theme "Justi<span lang="ja" style="letter-spacing: -0.25em">φ</span>'s -Accel Mix-" as well as the theme for the film ''[[Kamen Rider: The Next]]'', "Chosen Soldier". As a band, Da Pump had performed the theme to the film ''[[Kamen Rider: The First]]'', "Bright! our Future", and Issa played the role of a Shocker commander in the film. In 2018, he and Japanese singer [[Shuta Sueyoshi]] of [[AAA (band)\|AAA]] fame collaborated on the single ''Over "Quartzer"'', the opening theme for the 20th anniversary series of the Kamen Rider franchise, [[Kamen Rider Zi-O]]. Following a [[Driving under the influence\|DUI]] arrest in 2005, Shinobu temporarily suspended all activities from the band. However, on 7 April 2006, he officially announced that he left the group. The remaining members of Da Pump continued with three members. On December 18, 2008, it was announced that Yukinari was leaving the band and that Ken and Issa were actively looking for his replacement.<ref name=":0" /> Within hours, their management company announced a brand new Da Pump with seven new members. Ken left the group in 2009. In 2014, the band returned with their first single in three years, "New Position". Then after an absence of four years, Da Pump returned the hit single, "[[U.S.A. (Da Pump song)\|U.S.A.]]", in 2018. On April 1, 2021, Daichi announced he would be leaving the group by the end of the month due to worsening of his chronic hernia.<ref>{{cite web\|title=DA PUMP DAICHIに関するお知らせ\|url= https://dapump.jp/news/detail.php?id=1090608\|access-date=2021-04-01}}</ref> Later the same day, the Kansai University of Social Welfare posted a music video, in collaboration with DA PUMP, for a song titled "Believe in your dream", co-written by Issa and m.c.A·T. ==Members== === Current members === * {{nihongo\|Issa Hentona\|辺土名一茶\|Hentona Issa\|ISSA}} (~~ISSA) [~~Born: [[December 9 ~~December]]~~, [[1978~~]]; Blood Type: B]~~ ) (1996–present) * {{nihongo\|Tomoki Nakamura\|中村朋挥\|Nakamura Tomoki\|KENZO}} (Born: January 21, 1985) (2008–present) * {{nihongo\|Ken Okumoto\|奥本健\|}} (KEN) [Born: [[17 December]], [[1979]]; Blood Type: O] * {{nihongo\|Tomohiro Taniguchi\|谷口知広\|Taniguchi Tomohiro\|TOMO}} (Born: February 2, 1981) (2008–present) * {{nihongo\|Yukinari Tameki\|玉城幸也\|}} (YUKINARI) [Born: [[5 November]], [[1979]]; Blood Type: O] * {{nihongo\|Kimitaka Gondo\|近藤公贵\|Gondō Kimitaka\|KIMI}} (Born: April 14, 1983) (2008–present) * YORI (Born: February 9, 1980) (2008–present) * {{nihongo\|Yūya Tanimoto\|谷本裕也\|Tanimoto Yūya\|U-YEAH}} (Born: September 17, 1983) (2008–present) === Former members === * {{nihongo\|Shinobu Miyara\|宮宫良忍\|Miyara Shinobu\|SHINOBU}} (~~SHINOBU) [~~Born: ~~[[15~~ February]] ~~[[1980]];~~15, ~~Blood~~1980) ~~Type: O]~~(1996–2005) * {{nihongo\|Yukinari Tamaki\|玉城幸也\|Tamaki Yukinari\|YUKINARI}} (Born: November 5, 1978) (1996–2008) * {{nihongo\|Ken Okumoto\|奥本健\|Okumoto Ken\|KEN}} (Born: December 17, 1979) (1996–2009) * {{nihongo\|Kazuma Yamane\|山根和马\|Yamane Kazuma\|KAZUMA}} (Born: March 6, 1984) (2008–2013) * {{nihongo\|Daichi Kato\|加藤大地\|Katō Daichi\|DAICHI}} (Born: December 4, 1988) (2008–2021) ==~~Biography~~ Discography == {{Main\|Da Pump discography}} Famed for their ability in both dancing and singing, and for their good looks, Da Pump's [[debut album\|debut]] came in 1997, with the song "Feelin' Good - It's PARADISE" and breaking through with "Rhapsody in Blue" (and using the song as their entry on the "white" team during the 1998 [[Kōhaku Uta Gassen]]).
