Arioka Daiki was born in Chiba on April 15, 1991. He joined Johnny's on June 2, 2003, he was 12-years-old. While he was one of the later recruits in terms of age in JUMP, he had some talent in his past already but having a role in Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger in 2001.
Since joining in 2003, he was quickly chosen to be a member of the temporary group J.J.Express along side (Kis-My-Ft2 member) Tamamori Yuta when one member was removed. It was here in J.J.Express that Arioka had become very good friends with Inoo Kei rather than just knowing him in the company. Because of what types of personalities they had, they forced their friendship on Takaki Yuya who saw Johnny's as work and his group mates as coworkers, and nothing more. Since 2003, all three virtually became inseparable.
Arioka and Inoo's relationship is much like Yamada and Nakajima's, Inoo loves to tease Arioka and tries to make him feel uncomfortable. With a strong will to go as far as possible, Inoo succeeds easily in embarrassing Arioka. Arguably, Inoo and Arioka have a closer relationship in the trio based on interview moments from magazines or TV shows where some pieces of information were slipped up: when away from their home city, Arioka and Inoo often share meals in the middle of the night in secret in one of their hotel rooms, it has on record multiple times that they often sleep in the same bed in hotel rooms, and they frequently share deep conversations that either is not said to the rest of the group or is said much later on.
Arioka is the youngest member of the subgroup BEST, he is also the centre of the subgroup due to his joyous personality, dancing skills, and charisma. He is also teased within BEST for his baby face. Unlike Inoo who is praised for his feminine face, Arioka is teased for his baby face because it apparently makes it difficult to take him seriously.
Arioka has always been known to love how music works and that he loves to be involved with the staff at live events, thus allowing him (and Chinen) in 2021 to completely direct the live concert Fab! -Live Speaks-. He has also written and helped with writing music for group songs, such as Time and Hurry Up!
Sprouting before their debut, Arioka has always loved digital music. During the JUMP-ing Tour he had a small segment where he was using a small DJ turntable on stage. This has evolved to using the DJ turntable in the Promotional Video UNION, and playing it on stage during the JUMPing Carnival concerts.
