Ryûsei Yokohama

Ryûsei Yokohama, born September 16, 1996, in Kanagawa Prefecture, is the kind of actor who just can’t seem to stay out of the spotlight—and honestly, why would he want to? The guy’s been popping up all over Japanese TV and cinema, and if you’ve dabbled in the Super Sentai universe (yeah, the stuff that inspired Power Rangers), you’ve probably seen his face. Back in 2014, Yokohama suited up for “Jûden Sentai Kyôryûjâ tai Gôbasutâzu: Kyôryû Daisakusen! Saraba Eien no Tomo yo”—which, if you’re not fluent in Sentai-speak, is one of those wild crossover movies packed with colorful heroes, giant dino robots, and loads of sparkly explosions. It’s pure nostalgia for fans, and Ryûsei fit right in. But hey, he’s not just a one-note action hero. Same year, he showed up in “Ressha Sentai Tokkyûjâ,” hopping from one team of spandex-clad saviors to another. This dude clearly has a thing for high-energy, over-the-top adventures. Fast forward to 2024, and he’s flexing his acting chops in “Shoutai,” which takes a sharp left turn into way more serious territory. Drama, suspense, the works. Yokohama’s got range—he can pull off goofy, world-saving teenager and then switch gears to brooding, complex characters without missing a beat. He’s built a solid rep for himself, mixing mainstream hits and roles that let him show off what he can really do. Still young, still racking up credits, and honestly, it feels like he’s just getting started.
