Budding Japanese actor Kento Kaku has again caught the attention of his fans, this time by fluently speaking English and providing self-translation during a recent media event. Kaku, known for pushing barriers and versatility in his craft, demonstrated yet another facet of his wide skill set. With his impressive linguistic skills, he captured the hearts of both Japanese and international fans, enhancing his growing global appeal.

Japanese society generally appreciates polyglots, viewing language skills as a sign of intelligence and cosmopolitanism. Kento Kaku's English proficiency and his ability to self-translate resonates with Japan's increased efforts towards global communication and cross-cultural exchange. In the Japanese entertainment industry, actors who are multilingual often gain increased popularity and opportunities for international projects.

In the US or EU, being multilingual, especially in the entertainment industry, is also highly valued. It widens the appeal of celebrities, boosts their professional opportunities and allows them to connect with a range of diverse audiences globally. However, the focus on self-translation may not be as emphasized as it is in Japan.
