Japanese actor Kento Kaku has recently signed a contract with a major American talent agency. His representation in the United States signifies a significant step in the actor's career, increasing his potential for more international exposure and Hollywood roles. The specific details about the deal, such as the name of the agency or projects up for consideration, were not disclosed.

Japan entertainment industry is not just nationally focused but also has a deep and wide-reaching impact globally. The success of Japanese actors and actresses in international markets is seen as a significant achievement and is driven by the country’s cultural influence. Kaku's recent contract with a US entity is highly regarded as an important advancement.

In contrast, US or EU actors signing with overseas agencies is not as highly regarded. The global dominance of Hollywood often means that actors get sufficient international exposure without needing to appeal to foreign markets. However, like in Japan, such a move could expand an actor's career options and audience base.
