Akaso Eiji is a Japanese actor and model, known for playing Ryuga Banjou in Kamen Rider Build. He is currently represented by Tristone Entertainment. He belonged to the Nagoya model office "FORM JAPAN" when he was in his teens. He was active as a model and talent under the name Mamoru Akaso (赤楚 衛, Akaso Mamoru). In 2010, he joined the local idol group "BOYS AND MEN" in Nagoya, working on stage performances and regular appearances of variety shows. Eiji is said to have left "BOYS AND MEN" in 2011. Originally, he entered the entertainment agency because he wanted to be an actor and not an idol. He won the Grand Prix at the men's model audition of Samantha Thavasa in 2013, which became the turning point for him to audition in Tokyo at the age of 19. The trigger that lead Eiji to drop out of university and to enter the world of entertainment was a call from the CEO of his current agency in 2014. In 2015, he transferred to his current agency Tristone Entertainment, working as an actor and starring in television dramas and films in his current stage name

Speed Racer, the gifted son of legendary mechanic Pops Racer, races for his family's independent team behind the wheel of the revolutionary Mach 5, a handcrafted supercar equipped with ingenious gadgets. Entering the prestigious World Crown Grand Prix, Speed hopes to prove that talent and integrity can triumph over the powerful corporations dominating professional racing. But as competitors begin disappearing and fatal "accidents" plague the championship, Speed uncovers a conspiracy involving a criminal syndicate using the racing circuit to fund international crime. Repeatedly saved by the mysterious masked Racer X, whose extraordinary driving style mirrors that of Speed's older brother Rex - believed dead for years after a devastating crash - Speed begins to suspect the truth behind his family's greatest tragedy. With fearless pilot and girlfriend Trixie investigating from the air, loyal mechanic Sparky keeping the Mach 5 race-ready, and Spritle and Chim-Chim accidentally uncovering vital clues, the Racer family follows the trail to the dangerous Alpine Death Run. There, Speed faces the ruthless Car Acrobatic Team as collapsing roads, explosive traps, and impossible jumps push every driver to the limit. During the final showdown, Racer X reveals himself to Speed as Rex, who secretly survived and has spent years working undercover to dismantle the syndicate from within. Together, the brothers stop the organization, save the championship, and restore honor to the sport. Although Rex chooses to remain in the shadows to protect his family and continue his mission, Speed wins the Grand Prix and proves that true greatness is measured not only by speed, but by courage, loyalty, and family.
