Katsunori Yuasa is a Japanese actor and comedian known for his intense presence, versatile comedic timing, and signature portrayal of villainous roles. With a strong physique and striking look, he often plays yakuza enforcers, con men, and underworld figures—roles he delivers with natural conviction and dark humor.

In 2011, Yuasa co-founded the comedy duo Oshinko-kyu with a fellow Okayama native, forming a unique manzai partnership rooted in rakugo tradition. While many comics lean into “scary but cute” personas, Yuasa flips the script—he looks intimidating, and his performances fully embrace that edge. His bold, straight-faced “boke” (funny man) style has become his trademark on stage.

A skilled judoka who placed in the top four of his prefectural tournament, Yuasa brings real physicality to action-oriented roles. As an actor, he has built a diverse portfolio across feature films, television dramas, music videos, stage plays, and viral short dramas on TikTok. His commanding screen presence and authenticity make him a natural fit for dark, complex, and unforgettable characters.
