Ito Kentarō, formerly known only by his given name, "Kentaro," is a Japanese actor and model. He was born in Tokyo on June 30, 1997 and began his early career as a model in 2012 at age 14. In 2014, he joined Bonn Image, a modeling agency, at first for advertising jobs.
Then, he landed a supporting role in the highly rated nighttime drama Hirugao: Heijitsu Gogo 3 ji no Koibito tachi (English title: Love Affairs in the Afternoon; literal: Lunchtime: Lovers at 3 o'clock on weekdays), starring Kichise Michiko and Ueno Aya. His acting as a young high school student garnered attention, and in 2015, he appeared for the first time on the big screen with the movie My Story! and was well-regarded for his TV drama roles that year and through 2016, notably in Gakko no Kaidan and Aogeba Toutoshi. He won his first leading roles in 2017 with the movie Demekin as a leader of a motorcycle gang and later, in the romantic time-travel TV comedy-drama Ashi Girl, as the young Warring States era samurai lord Tadakiyo Kuhachiro Hagi.
In 2018, he landed many more film and TV roles. On his 21st birthday, he announced a change from his stage name "Kentaro" to his full birth name, Ito Kentaro. He is also known by his fans as "Icchan" (いっちゃん). Currently, he is managed by the agency Aoao.
