Here's an interesting story about TK from someone who went to high school with him.

I am fairly certain that Mandarin is his best language, followed by Japanese (maybe Taiwanese), and English being somewhere last. He attended the Japanese school till 9th grade, when he switched over to my high school (the American school).Here's an interesting story that I think will make everyone love him even more:He did a commercial while he was in high school (for kiwi soda, yes, you read that right, kiwi-flavored soda). He was like two steps above an extra in that, it was a bunch of guys who stare at a girl but it's because of her soda. TK walks a dog in it, IIRC.Anyhow, after that, he didn't do anything except occasionaly model, until finally, he stopped showing up at school. Next thing you know, we saw him on some some opera or something and then he was recording an album. According to some of his friends and his girlfriend's friends, his dad, who had been paying his tuition, suddenly stopped doing it. So instead of having his grandparents (who raised him, I believe) try to cough up the dough, he decided to make some money modeling and slowly that kind of took over and he eventually dropped out. He played varsity volleyball and he was pretty good. We considered him pretty manly back then.
