The story
Actor and TV personality Yusuke Yamamoto (38) dropped a surprise marriage announcement on the ABEMA show “Ai no Hyena season 6.” His partner is a non-celebrity woman, and his surprise confession in front of his host mentor reportedly left the studio audience gasping. While Yamamoto is best known for his role in “Kamen Rider Kabuto,” he’s also been working as a host club employee in recent years, and 5ch threads buzzed with comments like “isn’t he basically a host now rather than a celebrity?” and “he’s making his money doing pachinko parlor appearances.” The report’s description of him as “one of showbiz’s most popular ladies’ men” also drew skepticism about just how well-known he still is, splitting opinion in the thread.

What people said
He really is good-looking and popular with women.
When I saw him, he was chatting away in a circle of regular middle-aged lady customers.
so he's got foreign roots on his paternal side.
His mother's side isn't mentioned, but assuming she's Japanese,
I don't know his father's current nationality, but by blood he'd be half.
Re: #22
Main points he revealed on "Gairoku ch":
1. On his own roots
He first learned about his roots around age 32, when his grandfather passed away.
His paternal grandparents were Zainichi Koreans, and given the harsh social climate and discrimination of that era, even his own father had been kept in the dark about it growing up.
He describes being shocked when relatives suddenly revealed to him that "our bloodline is half Korean, half Japanese."
Speaking of which, I wondered what happened to Hidenori Tokuyama — turns out he showed up in the finale of GTO. Still good-looking as ever.
It's not like there's much actual entertainment work for him anyway.
As for actor Yusuke Yamamoto's education: he graduated from Aichi Prefectural Toyokawa Technical High School (Mechanical Engineering course), which has a hensachi (academic ranking score) of 41. He never went on to university.
…His name recognition though…
Is his appearance fee really that cheap now?
Ai no Hyena
Erukore
Shota Taira
Hana Kuraki
Dead silence from all of them.
He shows up out in rural Kyushu all the time too lol
If marriage is the reason, nobody can really complain.
Though he'd be an idiot to keep at it lol
Lately he's being pushed hard on that Tokyo MX show about kyabakura hostesses (cabaret club girls) hosted by Kenkoba, lol
winner of the Thanksgiving Mini Marathon, Autumn 2006.
Background and Talking Points
While Yusuke Yamamoto is best known for his role in “Kamen Rider Kabuto,” in recent years he’s been more visible through his host club work and pachinko parlor guest appearances than through acting, and the thread saw multiple comments along the lines of “he’s basically a host now, not really a celebrity.” The show where this announcement happened, “Ai no Hyena,” follows him training as a host — a very different context from his acting career, which appears to be part of why the report’s description of him as “one of showbiz’s most popular ladies’ men” didn’t quite match how the thread saw him. Details shared in the thread, like his educational background and the closure of the yakiniku restaurant he used to run, were treated as general updates on where his career stands now — with a notably level-headed, skeptical take on his current career status running underneath the otherwise upbeat marriage announcement.
