BIOGRAPHY
Shuji Kikuchi (Japanese: 菊池修司; born November 10, 1995) is a Japanese actor from Tokyo, known to BL audiences as Masato Tsuge in the 2025 stage musical adaptation of Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!
Kikuchi is a familiar face in Japan’s 2.5-D stage tradition, with roles including Sasaki in Sasaki and Miyano, Agata Takayoshi in the Heli-X stage plays, Reo Mikage in the Blue Lock stage adaptations, Noé in Vanitas no Carte The Stage, Haru Kato in The Millionaire Detective Balance: Unlimited The Stage, Souji Okita in Musical Hakuoki, Shuji Hanma in the Tokyo Revengers stage productions, and Tenma Sumeragi in MANKAI STAGE A3! ACT3!
In Cherry Magic The Musical, he plays Masato Tsuge, joining the production as a replacement cast member, stage press reported that he took over the role after original cast member Daichi Saeki departed. The show ran at TOKYO DOME CITY HALL and Aiplaza Toyohashi in April 2025. That credit is catalogued on BLGLFLIX at WP 1643, where Kikuchi is credited as supporting cast.
BLGLFlix editorial view
He has played the lead of more than one boys love manga on a stage.
Shuji Kikuchi (菊池修司), born 10 November 1995 in Tokyo, plays Masato Tsuge in Cherry Magic The Musical, and his stage work includes Sasaki in the Sasaki and Miyano production.
Two different boys love properties, staged by different producers, casting the same performer is what a circuit looks like. Japan’s 2.5 dimensional theatre business has enough boys love titles running through it to sustain regulars: actors known to be capable of holding this particular material live, for a room full of people who arrived with the manga already in their heads, and who therefore get called back for the next one.
That is a professional specialisation nobody has a name for. It is not screen acting, it is not musical theatre in the western sense, and it demands a very particular kind of fidelity to a drawn character.
His birth date, birthplace and a working range beginning in 2017 are recorded. No agency, education or verified account appears, because nothing citable has published them.
