‘Tokyo Vice’ Star Show Kasamatsu Signs With Brookside Artist Management & CAA

EXCLUSIVE: Show Kasamatsu, one of the stars of Max’s acclaimed crime drama Tokyo Vice, has taken on new representatives at Brookside Artist Management and CAA.

Currently in its second season, Tokyo Vice follows Jake Adelstein (Ansel Elgort), a Western journalist working for a publication in Tokyo who takes on one of the city’s most powerful crime bosses. Also starring Ken Watanabe and Rachel Keller, the show executive produced by Michael Mann has Kasamatsu portraying Yakuza gang enforcer Akiro Sato.

Next up, the actor will be seen starring alongside Jacob Elordi in the TV adaptation of Richard Flanagan’s novel The Narrow Road to the Deep North, which Justin Kurzel is helming for Prime Video Australia.

Prior to Tokyo Vice, Kasamatsu has been an in-demand actor in Japan across film and television. In addition to the series Love You as the World Ends, The Naked Director, and Followers, all of which were distributed by Netflix, he’s been seen starring in the Disney+ hit Gannibal. The Japanese drama-horror series returns for a second season later this year with an expanded role for Kasamatsu’s character, Keisuke, as he faces his own set of obstacles and battles as the head of the Goto family.

In film, Kasamatsu most recently starred in Masakazu Kaneko’s fantasy drama Ring Wandering and Takafumi Tsuchiya’s drama Flowers and Rain. He continues to be repped by The Lede Company.
