Eiji Akaso

Eiji Akaso is a prominent Japanese actor and model, renowned for his portrayal of Ryuga Banjou in the popular series Kamen Rider Build. He is currently signed with Tristone Entertainment, which has played a significant role in shaping his career.

In his teenage years, Akaso was associated with the Nagoya modeling agency "FORM JAPAN," where he worked as a model under the name Mamoru Akaso. His foray into the entertainment industry began in 2010 when he joined the local idol group "BOYS AND MEN" in Nagoya, participating in stage performances and appearing on various variety shows. However, he departed from the group in 2011, as his primary aspiration was to pursue acting rather than idol work.

A pivotal moment in Akaso's career came in 2013 when he won the Grand Prix at the men’s model audition for Samantha Thavasa. This success prompted him to move to Tokyo at the age of 19 to pursue his acting dreams more seriously. In 2014, a significant call from the CEO of his current agency encouraged him to leave university to fully commit to his entertainment career. By 2015, he officially joined Tristone Entertainment, where he has since starred in various television dramas and films, establishing himself as a versatile actor in the industry.
