Masaki Suda

Okay, Masaki Suda is one of those actors who quietly becomes the best in the room while you're not looking. He kicked off as the youngest-ever Kamen Rider lead back in 2009, and instead of getting stuck in tokusatsu land, he morphed into this chameleon who reshapes his whole face for every role, racking up serious hardware including a Best Actor award for the brutal boxing drama Ah, Wilderness. Then he just casually goes and becomes a legit pop star too, scoring a Yonezu-penned hit with Machigaisagashi and landing on Kohaku. Greedy, honestly. And We Made a Beautiful Bouquet basically dismantled every couple who's ever lived together. Yet he keeps this loose, friendly Osaka-kid energy that makes the towering talent weirdly approachable. Terrifying range.

Masaki Suda (born February 21, 1993, in Minoh, Osaka) made his acting debut in 2009 in the tokusatsu drama Kamen Rider W, becoming the youngest lead in the franchise's history at the time. He won the Japan Academy Film Prize for Outstanding Performance by a New Actor for Guuguu the Cat (2013) and the Japan Academy Film Prize for Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role for Ah, Wilderness (2017). Alongside his acting career he has pursued music, earning a major hit with the Kenshi Yonezu-produced single Machigaisagashi (2019) and performing on NHK's Kohaku Uta Gassen the same year. His 2021 film Ride or Die became a wide commercial and cultural hit, and he continued major television work including the NHK taiga drama Kamakura-dono no 13-nin (2022).
