History
edit2015 - 2017: Beginnings
editJohnny & Associates announced the group's formation in a press conference on 5 June 2015. The group was formed to be special supporters for TV Asahi's Summer Station event.[4] Mr. King vs Mr. Prince was divided into two subgroups: "Mr. King", consisting of Sho Hirano, Ren Nagase, and Kaito Takahashi and "Mr. Prince", consisting of Yuta Kishi, Yuta Jinguji, and Genki Iwahashi.[5] Producer Johnny Kitagawa chose their name in hopes that each member would "spark off each other" and "improve themselves through friendly rivalry".[6] The group's first original song, "Summer Station" was used as the official theme song for the Summer Station event, which ran from July to August 2015.[7] The group was meant to disband after the event. However, in August 2015, the members announced that they would continue activities as a group.[8]
By 2016, Mr. Prince had changed their name to "Prince" and the six members predominately worked within their respective units.[9] Mr. King released a photo book and were special supporters for Summer Station 2016,[10] while Prince performed in the Johnny's Ginza musical and started to host their own variety show, Mayonaka no Prince.
