Manager’s Note
Profile
Actor / Model / TV & Radio Presenter / Bilingual MC
A self-described “British Japanese,” born into a British family that has lived in Japan for three generations and raised in Saitama.
Although he spent several years of early childhood on the East Coast of the United States, his mindset and sensibility are thoroughly Japanese.
He began his modeling career while still in high school in 2014, and after gaining diverse professional experiences — including working on a pineapple farm in Iriomote Island — he went on to study International Development at a university in London from 2018 to 2020.
After returning to Japan, he relaunched his entertainment career through radio in Okinawa and is now active in Tokyo, working as an MC, radio host, and TV personality.
