A senior to the other KAT-TUN members, Kōki disliked them and wanted to leave the group by his own admission when it was formed but changed his mind after the group held their first concert. Influenced by hip-hop and reggae since childhood, he credits 櫻井翔 (Shō Sakurai of 嵐) for making a breakthrough for rap in the agency and making his task of rapping in an idol group easier. Kōki writes his own rap verses in KAT-TUN and his own solo songs respectively under the pen name, JOKER.
Artistically inclined, he can illustrate well, often creates or re-modifies his own apparel and even designed a pair of sneakers for Ne-Yo which the latter wore during his performance at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards in Japan. With bandmate 中丸雄一 (Yuichi Nakamaru), they make up a comedic unit, TaNaka (a portmanteau of their surnames), and perform skits together during concerts. An actor who won multiple awards for his performance in My Boss My Hero, he has also appeared in Byakkotai, Tatta Hitotsu no Koi and took on his first lead role in 2007 in Tokkyu Tanaka 3 Go. He recently starred in the 2009 season of TV Asahi's Hissatsu Shigotonin as Ren, an assassin, with senpai 東山紀之 (Noriyuki Higashiyama of 少年隊 [Shōnentai[) and 松岡昌宏 (Masahiro Matsuoka of TOKIO). He is also the older brother of Johnny's Jr member, 田中樹 (Jūri Tanaka).

The lyrics to 田中聖's song PIERROT express his deep connection to music and how it has saved his life. He asks if the listeners can feel his voice and if they can hear his scream. For him, music is real and he cannot lie to it because that would mean lying to himself. This is why he lives for music. The lyrics also mention the rock and roll lifestyle, and how he sings because he doesn't want to lose. He doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone, or to be disturbed himself. Even if he is crazy, he fights for love and is not scared. He wants to become an angel or the devil and is ready to kill for his family.
The song addresses the media with the introduction of "XXX mass media". He states that he is not a pierrot, but a joker. He doesn't want to make a fake greeting on the mic, and this is his life. He wants to go to the party and shout and scream life. He is not going to hide or run away because this is his pierrot. He doesn't want to be disturbed by the media or anyone else, but he acknowledges that he might be disturbing others as well. Despite this, he hates those who disturb him and will fight for love.
Overall, the song PIERROT is a manifesto of 田中聖's love for music and his determination to live for it. He is unapologetic about his rocker lifestyle, and he wants others to understand and respect it.
