BIOGRAPHY

Kento Yamada (Japanese: 山田健人; born 20 September 2004) is a Japanese actor with eight credits on record since 2023.

He began with single episodes of Muddy Dining Table (October 2023), Our Love Tactics (March 2024) and Antihero (April 2024), the last as a university student. His first substantial role came in July 2024 as Yukawa Kenzo across eleven episodes of Takara’s Treasure.

He then played Haruto across eight episodes of HEART ATTACK (March 2025) and Tsujitani Raiku across ten of School Trip: Joined a Group I’m Not Close To (October 2025).

His work inside this site’s remit is Yamada Kentaro across six episodes of The Boy and I Who Will Break Up in 100 Days, the MBS boys’ love drama that began on 26 May 2026. In August 2026 he appeared in the film 手塚治虫の戦争 as Akira Mitsui.

BLGLFlix editorial view

His birthplace is left blank here. A Saitama Prefecture attribution circulates online, but it is not in any source this site accepts and his person record carries no birthplace at all, so an empty field is the honest answer rather than a plausible one.

The shape of the record is the ordinary Japanese television ladder and it is worth seeing plainly: three single episodes, then eleven, then eight, then ten, over roughly two years. Nothing about it is a breakout. It is a young actor being given progressively longer parts by a working industry, and the BL credit sits inside that progression rather than standing outside it. His character in the boys’ love drama is named Yamada Kentaro, close enough to his own name to be worth noting and not enough to conclude anything from.
