Alice In Borderland is a Netflix series based on a popular manga series. Once adapted into an anime series as well, the live-action version of Alice in Borderland was very successful in being watched by many people in its 2 seasons on Netflix. The success of Alice in Borderland is possible because of the skill of actor Kento Yamazaki who is the main protagonist.

Kento Yamazaki is a Japanese actor known for his roles in Water Polo Yankees and Death Note and is now also known for his recent role in Alice in Borderland. Born in September 1994, Kento always wanted to be a football player but fate had something else in store for him. Are you curious about Kento Yamazaki, the protagonist of Alice in Borderland, who has often appeared in Japanese live-action shows? Let's follow the discussion!

1. Before Becoming an Actor, He Was a Model

While still in junior high school, Kento Yamazaki was approached by a talent scout and asked to become a model. He passionately got into the world of modeling and it really worked out for him. Perhaps it was here that he realized he could take a different career route and try his hand at becoming an actor.

2. He Holds a Firearm for the First Time While Filming Alice in Borderland

In Alice in Borderland, Yamazaki plays the protagonist of the story named Ryohei Arisu, an unemployed young man who enjoys playing video games and is adept at solving puzzles.

One day, when Arisu suddenly transmigrates into a world full of deadly games that must be played regularly, his previously hidden strategic planning abilities begin to shine.

In a promotional interview for the Alice in Borderland Season 2 series published on GamerBraves, Yamazaki explained that accurately portraying Arisu's reaction to firing a gun for the first time in a game-centric world was a challenge.

Since Arisu was once a good-for-nothing commoner who had never handled a firearm, many people would expect her to display a variety of emotions, including fear and shock, upon opening fire for the first time.

Also, scenes like this usually require more than 1 take, which means it's increasingly difficult to convey Arisu's shocked emotions in a way that looks authentic. Nevertheless, Yamazaki could anticipate it.

3. He is an actor who often plays roles in live-action adaptations

Kento Yamazaki is a manga lover and has a large manga collection in his house. He is also a musician who loves to play the guitar very proficiently.

Kento Yamazaki has done several live-action projects based on manga, popular examples being Orange and Alice in Borderland. He also appeared in Your Lie in April which became one of the highest-grossing films of 2016 when the film was released.

5. He is an actor whose hobby is eating

Kento Yamazaki is known for his thin body, but did you know that he has always been a person who loves to eat? He loves experimenting with new dishes and he always has a snack in his spare time. He was indeed tall and thin, but that was the result of good exercise and not a strict diet.

6. Actually he dreams of becoming a football player

As a child, Kento Yamazaki wanted to be a soccer player and never thought that he would land in the entertainment world. He played soccer since he was a child and loved this sport very much. But thankfully he took the opportunity to become an actor who was successful in entertaining many people. 

Yamazaki's presence in the Japanese entertainment industry was a miraculous blessing as he did not initially consider a career as an actor or model. In fact, when he was little, Yamazaki dreamed of becoming a soccer player or his coach.

He first developed an interest in soccer in elementary school and actively played the sport from 2nd to 9th grade. As part of his school's soccer club, he frequently visited other schools to play competitive matches. As a testament to his love for sports, Yamazaki plays soccer with his friends before heading to his agency for his first day working in the entertainment industry.
