Akanishi Jin

- Native name: 赤西仁
- Nationality: Japanese
- Gender: Male
- Born: July 4, 1984
- Age: 39
He also debuted as the vocalist of the rock band LANDS, along with Takeshi Kobayashi for the movie Bandage. He has, in the name of a band in the film BANDAGE, ranked in #1 in the Oricon ranking with the album OLYMPOS (released January 13). This is LANDS' 2nd consecutive #1 after the first single released in November last year. The only other time in history that an album that was released in the name of a movie character was #1 was in October of 1996 when the band YENTOWN in the Shunji Iwai's directed film Swallowtail Butterfly released the album called MONTAGE.
Akanishi will star in the Hollywood film "47 Ronin", which also stars Keanu Reeves in the lead role. Akanishi will play the role of Chikara Oishi, a friend to Kai who is played by Reeves. The film's director, Carl Erik Rinsch, was apparently impressed by Akanishi's English abilities and motivation. In this case, Akanishi Jin would be the second Johnny's Entertainment artist within the agency after Ninomiya Kazunari in "Letters From Iwo Jima" to star in a Hollywood movie and the third overall to work with an American director. Tegoshi Yuya from NEWS was the second in Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac, but that movie is considered to be a Japanese production directed by Hans Canosa.
Akanishi and Kuroki Meisa got married on Feb. 2, 2012. They welcomed their first child, a daughter named Theia, on 23 September 2012 and their second child, a son, on 6 June 2017. They announced their divorce on December 25, 2023.
