8 Must-Know Facts About Mackenyu, AKA Everyone’s Newest Internet Crush

Sep 5, 2023   •   Edgardo Toledo

The highly-anticipated anime live-action adaptation of One Piece is finally streaming on Netflix, much to the delight of countless fans. The series has gotten rave reviews, but one particular cast member has stolen our hearts: Mackenyu Arata, who plays the intense swordsman Roronoa Zoro. If you’re one of them, get to know him with these fast facts:

 

He’s the son of the great Japanese actor Chiba Shinichi

It seems that acting was destined for Mackenyu, given that he is the son of the internationally renowned actor Chiba Shinichi, who launched into stardom through his martial arts skills – first in Japan, then internationally. Mackenyu said in his Vogue Hong Kong write-up that his father had always encouraged him to carve his own path. 

“I have been very familiar with the industry since I was a little boy,” he said. “But my father never pressured me into being an actor.” 

Years later, he’s established himself as one of today’s global stars!

 

He’s a man of many talents

Growing up, the One Piece star dabbled in numerous interests, such as horseback riding, wrestling, gymnastics, and Kyokushin Karate, to name a few. But wait, there’s more: Mackenyu can also serenade you with his swoon-worthy voice! Case in point: Mackenyu singing a Japanese cover of the 2016 hit “Closer” by The Chainsmokers featuring Halsey. Yep, he’s the ultimate triple threat!

 

He owns a clothing line

Mackenyu’s style is as sharp as his jawline and has even collaborated with luxury brands like Burberry and Louis Vuitton. He also has his own clothing line INCRM, which he created with designer Keiji Wakabayashi. The brand offers functional and practical pieces, embodying the essence of essential luxury.

“I love clothing and jewelry. I wanted to create a curated wardrobe with just the pieces I like,” the actor shared.

 

He likes laid-back clothing

When he’s not gracing red carpets and other swanky events, Mackenyu’s go-to style keeps things casual. Can you guess what it is?

“Truthfully, my favorite outfit is a T-shirt, loungewear, and some socks,” Mackenyu revealed.

Finally, a look from a celebrity that we can easily recreate!

 

Hunter X Hunter is one of his favorite animes

Animes hold a significant part in Japanese entertainment and culture, so it’s no surprise that Mackenyu is also a fan. In a recent interview with Collider, the 26-year-old actor revealed that Hunter x Hunter is one of his favorite animes! If you’re curious why Mackenyu is a big fan, you can stream it on Netflix or Crunchyroll.

 

He’s been part of various anime live-action adaptations

Mackenyu’s no stranger to anime live-action adaptations, having starred in them on numerous occasions. His filmography includes Tokyo Ghoul S (2019), Tonkatsu DJ Agetarō (2020), Fullmetal Alchemist: The Revenge of Scar (2022), and Fullmetal Alchemist: The Final Alchemy (2022).

If dedication took on human form, it probably looks like Mackenyu. ICYDK, he went so far as to personally get ear piercings to faithfully nail Zoro’s distinctive trio of gold earrings. And, of course, he looks badass while wearing them!

 “They were painful. But for Zoro, I’d do anything,” the actor said.

 

But for those waiting in line, Mackenyu’s happily married

We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Mackenyu tied the knot with his non-celebrity wife last January. Even though the couple keeps their relationship away from the public’s prying eyes, Mackenyu never fails to express his love for his wife. He even said he knew he wanted to marry her from the moment they met and that she helped him become a better person. Sana all!
