BIOGRAPHY
Ryo Matsuda (Japanese: 松田凌; born September 13, 1991) is a Japanese actor, known to BL audiences as Kiyoshi Adachi in the 2025 stage musical adaptation of Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!
Matsuda is a veteran of Japan’s 2.5-D stage tradition, playing Hideyasu Jounouchi / Kamen Rider Gridon in the Kamen Rider Gaim franchise across television and film, Kashuu Kiyomitsu in the Touken Ranbu stage plays, Levi Ackerman in Attack on Titan: The Musical, Manjiro Sano in the Tokyo Revengers stage productions, and Raizo in Litchi Hikari Club, as well as a role in HiGH&LOW The Movie 2: End of Sky.

BLGLFlix editorial view
His entire career is playing manga characters on a stage, and this is one more of them.
Ryo Matsuda (松田凌) plays Kiyoshi Adachi in Cherry Magic The Musical, opposite Yoshihiko Aramaki as Yuichi Kurosawa, across the April 2025 run, which played TOKYO DOME CITY HALL before moving to Aiplaza Toyohashi. Behind that sit Hideyasu Jounouchi in Kamen Rider Gaim, Kashuu Kiyomitsu in the Touken Ranbu stage plays, Levi Ackerman in Attack on Titan: The Musical, Manjiro Sano in the Tokyo Revengers productions and Raizo in Litchi Hikari Club.
That is a defined profession in Japan rather than a coincidence. The 2.5 dimensional theatre business exists to move manga, anime and games onto a stage, it runs on long tours and repeat casting, and the performers who work in it develop a specific skill: holding a character an audience already pictures in a fixed way, in a room, without editing or retakes.
Handing a boys love musical to somebody from that tradition is a considered choice. Adachi is an interior character whose comedy is almost entirely in what he does not say, and playing that live is a harder problem than playing it in close up.
