Biography

Yusuke Iseya's illustrious career in the entertainment industry began with a debut appearance in the Japanese TV series "The Kindaichi Case Files" back in 1995. His breakthrough role came in 2000 with the performance in "Ikebukuro West Gate Park", which catapulted him to success and recognition.

The talented actor's hard work and dedication earned him numerous accolades, including the prestigious Japan Academy Prize for both Best Newcomer and Best Actor in 2001, making him the youngest recipient of the award at the time. This achievement marked a significant milestone in his career, solidifying his position as a rising star in the Japanese entertainment industry.

Yusuke's foray into Hollywood films saw him collaborate with the renowned director Martin Scorsese in the 2016 film "Silence", where he played the pivotal role of "Kichijiro", a character that played a significant part in the story. This international project further cemented his reputation as a versatile and talented actor.

In 2019, he co-starred in the BBC/Netflix series "Giri/Haji", which was filmed in both Japan and the UK, showcasing his ability to adapt to different environments and projects. His subsequent appearances in films such as "Knuckle Girl" (2023) and "Tokyo Vice - Season 2" (2024),which will air on MAX from February 2024, demonstrate his continued commitment to his craft.

Beyond his impressive filmography, Yusuke has also made a name for himself as a critically acclaimed stage performer, working with renowned directors such as Yukio Ninagawa and Toshiaki Toyoda. His multifaceted talents extend to fashion modeling, writing, and even producing his own YouTube channel and golf apparel brand.
