Kento Yamazaki is active in live-action adaptations of manga, currently appearing in the Kingdom and Golden Kamuy film series. He is set to reprise his role as Sugimoto Saichi in the upcoming 'Golden Kamuy: Abashiri Prison Assault Arc' film.
Kento Yamazaki's recent work centers on two major live-action manga adaptations. In the Kingdom series, he appears in the fifth film, 'Kingdom: Soul's Decisive Battle,' which has drawn 2.39 million viewers and earned 3.73 billion yen in 13 days. The film released a new promotional video featuring the Kenshi Yonezu theme song 'Yodaka' and new stills showing the battle between Shin and Bansaku.
Yamazaki also returns as Sugimoto Saichi in the live-action Golden Kamuy line. The second film, 'Golden Kamuy: Abashiri Prison Assault Arc,' adapts the manga's biggest battle arc set at Abashiri Prison. The film will stream on Netflix from September 13, a direct-to-stream release that follows the earlier film and TV drama in the franchise.
Across both stories, Yamazaki's roles anchor ongoing adaptation franchises, with the Kingdom film enjoying a strong box office run and the Golden Kamuy film moving to streaming. Anna Yamada co-stars as Asirpa in the Golden Kamuy film.
