Kazuto Is a Japanese Cuisine Chef

27-year-old Kazuto (whose birthday is on March 12) certainly knows his way around a kitchen. He works as a chef and a manager at an izakaya (a casual, comfortable Japanese restaurant).

Kazuto Has His Own YouTube Channel

Kazuto has taken his personality to the world’s most popular video-sharing platform, YouTube. The content he shares primarily consists of vlogging, and to his credit, he has been pulling strong viewership numbers with over 13 thousand subscribers.

Kazuto Is Looking for a Life Partner on The Boyfriend

On The Boyfriend, Kazuto is on a quest for love and romance. He hopes to find such things among his eight co-contestants. As of writing, The Boyfriend still has several more episodes to release on Netflix, so it’s impossible to know if Kazuto’s endeavor was successful.

As for what he’s looking for in a potential partner, Kazuto’s wants are both simple and heartfelt. He described an ideal situation on the show: 

"So if he is asleep when I get home and we could sleep together, I would be very happy."

Kazuto has experienced his fair share of romantic entanglements in the already-aired episodes of The Boyfriend

These include interactions with fellow participants like Alan, who was instantly attracted to Kazuto. However, the latter believed that the former was coming on a bit strong for his liking, and ultimately, the two wound up as friends.

Additionally, Usak and Kazuto were paired. Usak, who at first felt like a misfit during his time on the series, eventually revealed his feelings for Kazuto, who thought Usak was out of his league. Usak has since departed from The Boyfriend.

Finally, something brewed between Ryota and Kazuto, even though Kazuto initially felt overwhelmed after his dealings with Alan.
