Actor Ryusei Ryuho joins Ninomiya Kazuya's personal agency Office Nino

Japanese actor Ryusei Ryuho announced on October 1 that he has joined Office Nino, the personal talent agency of actor Ninomiya Kazuya. The announcement was made via the agency's official website, accompanied by a photograph of the two actors together. Ryuho, 33, had previously announced his departure from talent agency Kenon on August 31, marking a transition to new management.

In his statement, Ryuho expressed respect for Ninomiya as "an artist who walks the path he believes in with his own feet," and described the move as "a new start aimed at attacking rather than defending." He emphasized his desire to pursue greater freedom, boldness, and creative opportunities while remaining true to himself. The actor stressed that the uncertainty ahead is precisely what makes the opportunity appealing.

Office Nino's statement welcomed Ryuho as a new member, noting that the agency looks forward to working with him on diverse projects. Ryuho and Ninomiya are currently appearing together in the second season of the TBS Sunday drama series "VIVANT," which airs Sunday evenings. Ryuho's career has included roles in the 2013 tokusatsu series "Kyoryuger," the NHK asadora "Hiyokko" (2017), the drama "Teseusno Fune" (2020), and the NHK taiga drama "Hikaru Kimi E" (2024). He has film releases scheduled for later in 2026.
