Sho Sakai

BIOGRAPHY

Sho Sakai (Japanese: 坂井翔; credited in Japan as Sakai Sho; born 6 June 2001) is a Japanese actor managed by Prism. He plays Yuta Rokkaku in Cherry Magic The Musical (2025), the stage adaptation of the Japanese boys’ love property.

Six credits stand on his record, spread across four years. He began with Takara-kun and Amagi-kun (August 2022) as Segawa, appeared in the film Tokyo, I Love You (November 2023) as Noah, then took three television roles in close succession: Umaki Shimao in Jeanne’s Judgment (January 2024), Ryota Natsukawa in Living with Him (April 2024), and Ainosuke Hizaki in Are the Sexy Buttocks Not Good? (July 2026). The musical sits between the last two.

One piece of housekeeping for anyone searching the databases. The musical is catalogued as a film rather than a stage production, because what exists to be catalogued is the filmed record of the run rather than the run itself. There is no cinema release behind that entry, and looking for one is a dead end.

BLGLFlix editorial view

What stands out on this filmography is what is missing from it. All six credits sit inside boys’ love or immediately alongside it: two BL series, a BL stage musical, an ensemble romance film, a late-night drama, and a 2026 series working the same territory in a broader register. Most performers who pass through Japanese BL treat it as one line among many, a season’s work before a procedural or a variety slot. Four years in, he has not stepped outside it once.

We are not reading that as a statement of intent, because we have no source for one, and an actor of twenty-five with six credits has not had many chances to prove a pattern either way. It is worth naming because it changes what this page is useful for. If you follow Japanese BL casting his name is a reliable signal; if you do not, you will almost certainly never have run into it.

The musical was staged by Nelke Planning, whose official production page lists 坂井翔 against the role of 六角祐太. It is one of several adaptations of the property tracked here, alongside the Japanese series, the Thai remake, the manga, the anime and the film.
