Kento Yamazaki

Okay, I'll say it: Kento Yamazaki has a face that feels almost unfair. Live-action manga adaptations are usually a minefield where fans show up sharpening their pitchforks, and yet this guy keeps stepping straight off the page like he was drawn there first. In Alice in Borderland he spends most of his time terrified and running for his life through deadly games, and somehow he still looks composed doing it, which kind of annoys me in the best way. What I genuinely like, though, is that he didn't coast on the pretty-model-boy thing. He's a Tokyo kid from Itabashi who keeps choosing roles that ask him to get sweaty, scared, and messy, and he commits. That mix of polish and willingness to look rough is exactly what wins me over.
