Mackenyu Maeda (前田 真剣佑, Maeda Makken'yū, born November 16, 1996), known professionally as Mackenyu Arata[3] (Japanese: 新田 真剣佑, Hepburn: Arata Makken'yū) or simply Mackenyu (真剣佑, Makken'yū), is a Japanese actor. He rose to fame after portraying Arata Wataya in the Chihayafuru live-action trilogy in 2016, which earned him the 40th Japan Academy Newcomers of the Year Award in 2017.[4] He has since portrayed characters in many other adaptations of popular manga series, including Okuyasu Nijimura in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable Chapter I (2017), Sōta in Tokyo Ghoul S (2019), Yukishiro Enishi in Rurouni Kenshin: The Final (2021), Pegasus Seiya in Knights of the Zodiac, and Roronoa Zoro in the Netflix series One Piece (both 2023).
