Kento Yamazaki: Marriage, Relationships, Net Worth, Career

Few Japanese actors have crossed over to global fame as swiftly as Kento Yamazaki — but for every fan who discovered him as Arisu in Alice in Borderland, there’s another asking the same question: is he married, dating, or single? The line between verified fact and internet rumor has blurred so thoroughly that even a well-meaning search lands on contradictory stories.

Is Kento Yamazaki married?

The short answer is no — at least not publicly. As of 2025, no credible source has confirmed that Kento Yamazaki is married. Wikipedia (the actor’s primary biography source) makes no mention of a spouse. MarriedBiography, a site that tracks celebrity relationships, states explicitly that he is not married and has not publicly disclosed romantic relationships.

• No verified wife or girlfriend on record
• Marriage rumors on unverified blogs (e.g., Celebs InfoSeemedia) claim he is married to Suzu Hirose — but this directly contradicts the CNA Lifestyle report of a 2025 split
• A 2026 YouTube summary states he is currently single

Are Kento and Suzu still together?

According to a January 2025 report from CNA Lifestyle (a Singapore-based news outlet covering Asian entertainment), Kento Yamazaki and actress Suzu Hirose split in early 2025. Neither party has publicly confirmed or denied the breakup — and that silence has fueled contradictory claims online.

Why did Suzu and Kento break up?

• The exact reason is unconfirmed by both actors
• CNA Lifestyle does not cite a specific cause for the split
• Some unverified blogs claim they were never together — but the CNA report is the most credible single source available

The implication: without a statement from either Yamazaki or Hirose, the breakup is a reported event, not a confirmed fact. Sportskeeda notes they were “reportedly dating” during 2023–2024, but that relationship was never publicly acknowledged.

Are Kento Yamazaki and Tao Tsuchiya married?

No. Kento Yamazaki and actress Tao Tsuchiya are not married, and they are not dating. They co-starred in the 2016 film Orange — and that on-screen chemistry led to recurring fan speculation. But Tsuchiya herself addressed the rumors directly: she posted an Instagram denial clarifying they are only co-stars. Sportskeeda and MarriedBiography both list her as a co-star, not a romantic partner.

The pattern: every time Yamazaki has a notable on-screen female lead, social media fills in a romance. But no verified source has ever linked him romantically to Tsuchiya.

Why is Kento Yamazaki so famous?

Yamazaki’s fame rests on one thing: he is the leading actor of his generation for live-action manga and anime adaptations. His filmography reads like a list of Japan’s biggest pop-culture properties — and that strategy paid off globally with Netflix’s Alice in Borderland.

What are Kento Yamazaki’s most famous roles?

• Alice in Borderland (2020–2025) — Ryohei Arisu (signature role, per Sportskeeda)
• Kingdom (2019, 2022) — Historical epic based on the manga
• Kiss That Kills (2018) — Lead role in the TV drama
• Good Doctor (2018) — Japanese adaptation of the Korean series
• JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable Chapter 1 (2017)
• Orange (2016) — Co-starring with Tao Tsuchiya
• Your Lie in April (2016), L DK (2014), Another (2012) — earlier manga adaptations

Wikipedia (the actor’s definitive biography page) lists his debut in 2010 with Atami no Sousakan. By 2018 he won Newcomer of the Year at the Japan Academy Film Prize — solidifying him as a box-office draw.

How did Kento Yamazaki start his career?

He began modeling at age 17 and transitioned into television. His first film appearance was in Control Tower (2011), per The City Celeb. But his breakthrough came with the 2018 drama Kiss That Kills — which established him as a leading man capable of carrying a series.

How rich is Kento Yamazaki?

No official net worth figure exists — Yamazaki has never disclosed his earnings, and his agency Stardust Promotion does not publish financial details. What we have are estimates from entertainment biography sites, and they vary widely.

Three sources each give a different number, revealing how unreliable these estimates are.

Four estimates, one pattern: none are primary-sourced. Sportskeeda (a pop-culture editorial site) gives the highest figure; Celebs InfoSeemedia (a biography aggregator) gives the lowest. The difference is USD 12 million — a gap that tells you everything about the reliability of these numbers.

Is Kento Yamazaki a smoker?

There is no reliable public evidence that Kento Yamazaki smokes. A YouTube profile mentions the topic as speculation, but no photograph, interview, or agency statement confirms a smoking habit. In an industry where smoking scandals can affect an actor’s clean image, the absence of any verified report is itself the fact.

Is Kento Yamazaki fluent in English?

There is no verified evidence that Kento Yamazaki is fluent in English. The same YouTube profile notes this as an open question. He has not given an English-language interview, and his Alice in Borderland role was performed in Japanese. Without public demonstration, fluency claims remain unsubstantiated.
