Shunsuke Daito (大東 駿介, Daitōh Shunsuke; born March 13, 1986) is a Japanese actor and fashion model. Currently, he is employed by the Blue Label [ja] a subsidiary of TV Asahi. Since debuting in 2005's Nobuta wo Produce, he has appeared in many Japanese dramas, movies, variety shows and on stage.

Early life

Daito was born on March 13, 1986, in Sakai, Osaka, as an only child.[1] His mother ran a home-based dry cleaning shop, while his father worked as a taxi driver.[2] When he was in the third grade of elementary school, his parents divorced, and he has not met his father since.[1] After the separation, he lived with his mother, who raised him as a single parent until he reached junior high school.[1] However, on November 30, 2019, in an episode of A-Studio, Daito revealed that his mother neglected him as a child, leaving him at home for long periods without proper financial support.[3] As a result, he experienced extreme poverty in his second year of junior high school and became socially withdrawn for a time.[4] When his aunt learned about his home situation, she took him in and raised him. He recalled, "My aunt raised me like her own child."[1]

Personal life

According to an interview with News Post Seven on June 4, 2020, Daito married an ordinary woman in December 2015 and they have three kids together.[5]
