Hidetoshi Kubota (; born January 12, 1987) is a Japanese stage and film actor. Born in Fukuoka, he debuted in 2009, and has appeared in multiple projects including season 2, Moriarty the Patriot, Blood Blockade Battlefront, and Hakuoki. He is under Avex Management.
Career
After graduating from a vocational school in Fukuoka, Kubota moved to Tokyo for work, and in 2009, while working as a hairdresser, he was scouted to enter the entertainment industry. Prior to 2009, he had been repeatedly approached by multiple companies to join the entertainment industry, so when he decided to look for new opportunities after disagreements with his salon, he took the opportunity to explore the path of acting.
Outside of acting, he has performed as a Buzen Kagura dancer since he was young.
He played the role of Niou Masaharu in the second season of the musical "", and later performed his first lead role as Saito Yakumo in the stage play "Psychic Detective Yakumo: The Tree of Lies". In 2015, he was invited to the 39th Montreal World Film Festival for his role in the movie "Shinjuku Midnight Baby".
He cites his inspirations as being Teruyuki Kagawa and Takayuki Yamada.
