He attended Beverly Hills High School in their Advanced Placement Program and appeared in a few films and TV shows while growing up. As a young child, Mackenyu had many interests including horseback riding, Yabusame, Kyokushin Karate (he was placed third at the US Kyokushin Karate Nationals), gymnastics, water polo, and wrestling (for which he became the school representative). He was also into music, playing piano since he was 10 years old, and later participated in the brass band of his high school in Beverly Hills, playing saxophone, and flute. At the age of 15, Mackenyu watched a movie of Haruma Miura and got inspired to pursue acting professionally in Japan. He held on to the dream of co-starring with the actor once he established his career, which then came true in the movie adaptation of Gunjō Senki (2021). Mackenyu landed his first feature film lead role in Take a Chance (2015) and was featured in the acclaimed short movie Tadaima (2015) for which he won a best supporting actor award at the Asians of Films festival. He moved to Japan later in the same year. His fame grew in Japan after landing the role of Eiji Tomari in Kamen Rider Drive: Surprise Future (2015). In 2016, he made his stage debut in the Japanese musical Boys Over Flower (Hana Yori Dango: The Musical), which prepared him for his future major roles in the stage-musicals ZEROTOPIA (2018) and Hoshi no Daichi ni Furu Namida (2020). He had a prominent role in the two part feature film Chihayafuru Part I & II (2016) which made him a big name in Japan. Mackenyu started to expand his acting opportunities in Hollywood with a supporting role in the film Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018). In 2021, he starred as the final villain, Yukishiro Enishi, in the Rurouni Kenshin series. He portrayed Scar in the live-action sequel of Fullmetal Alchemist (2022).

La historia de esta entrega animada comienza cuando, un día del año 2002, muchos niños de Tokio y alrededores reciben un mensaje en sus móviles que les cita a las 6 p. m. en el intercambiador de Shibuya. Entre ellos se encuentra Takuya Kanbara, que recibe el mensaje y decide por impulso acudir a la llamada. Durante el viaje en tren se topa con Koji Minamoto y cuando llegan al punto de encuentro se montan en un ascensor que les transporta a una estación inexistente en el subsuelo de Shibuya. Allí suben a unos extraños trenes (para más tarde descubrir que se trata de Trailmons, unos trenes especiales que circulan por todo el Digimundo) y en uno de ellos Takuya conoce a JP, Zoe y Tommy (este último estaba en el tren en contra de su voluntad), con los que forma un primer grupo. Al llegar al Digimundo llegan a la Estación de la Llama, en la Aldea del Fuego y se encuentran con un par de Digimons llamados Bokomon y Neemon, quienes los guiarán por el Digimundo para derrotar al malvado Kerpymon y sus secuaces. Recibirán la ayuda de los Guerreros Legendarios, quienes intentan salvar el Digimundo. Al llegar, sus móviles se transforman en Digivices (D-Tectors) que tienen la cualidad de albergar los Espíritus Digitales, capaces de transformar a los niños en Digimons.
