Keita Machida brings a unique combination of theatrical discipline, quiet intensity, and mainstream appeal to TENBLANK. His background and career path reveal a performer dedicated to the craft of acting in all its forms.

Keita Machida's success is a prime example of a career cultivated within the powerful LDH entertainment ecosystem. His journey began at LDH's talent school, EXPG Tokyo, before he successfully auditioned for the agency's prestigious theater group, Gekidan EXILE, in 2011. This foundation in theater provides him with a gravitas and craft that distinguishes him. An early chapter in his career saw him selected as a candidate for the music group Generations from Exile Tribe, but an injury led him to withdraw and refocus entirely on acting, a pivotal decision that set the course for his future success.

He was systematically integrated into major LDH-produced franchises like High&Low and Prince of Legend, which span television, film, and music, creating a synergistic loop of exposure within a dedicated fanbase. This internal success provided the launching pad for him to take on high-profile external projects. His role as the thoughtful and devoted Yuichi Kurosawa in the 2020 drama Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?! became a massive international breakthrough, earning him widespread critical acclaim, multiple "Best Supporting Actor" awards, and a passionate global following.

This success opened the door to a string of major roles showcasing his incredible versatility, from the intense action of Netflix's Alice in Borderland and the high-concept fantasy of YuYu Hakusho to historical dramas like Reach Beyond the Blue Sky. His rising status is further confirmed by brand ambassadorships for companies like Tod's and Aveda, and prestigious accolades such as the GQ JAPAN Men of The Year 2022 award for Best Breakthrough Actor. Machida's career demonstrates the strength of LDH's "total entertainment" model, which provides training, franchise integration, and fan infrastructure to build its talent into national and international stars.

Keita Machida's work is remarkably extensive, spanning stage, television, and film with a consistency that highlights his work ethic and demand.
