In 2011, he made his acting debut as Nakazaike Chōji in the Nintama Rantarō musical and reprised the role in 2012.[4] In March 2012, he portrayed Yosuke Hanemura in VisuaLive Persona 4 and reprised the role later in the year in the following sequel production, VisuaLive Persona 4: The Evolution.[5][6] In the same year, he appeared in the television series Kamen Rider Wizard as Sora/Gremlin, a recurring role.[7]

In September 2015, Maeyama starred in the stage play adaptation of La Corda d'Oro Blue Sky as Kyōya Kisaragi.[7] In March 2016, Maeyama portrayed Kinshiro Kusatsu in the stage play adaptation of Cute High Earth Defense Club Love!.[8] In April 2016, Maeyama portrayed Hotohori in the stage musical adaptation of Fushigi Yûgi.[9]

In January 2017, Maeyama portrayed Eichi Tenshoin in Ensemble Stars!

2022–2024: Retirement and career setback

[edit]

Following the death of his then-girlfriend Sayaka Kanda in December 2021, Maeyama's agency, Watanabe Entertainment, announced his hiatus on January 5, 2022.[22] As a result of his hiatus, he was recast in The Thousand Musketeers,[23] the Japanese production of Piaf,[24] and Hypnosis Mic: Division Rap Battle Rule the Stage.[25] On June 30, 2022, Watanabe Entertainment announced that he had resigned from the company and retired from the entertainment industry to focus on his physical and mental health.[26]

Maeyama later returned to the public by making an Instagram account on February 7, 2024, his 33rd birthday.[27] In August 2024, through an interview with Shukan Josei, Maeyama revealed that he was currently working in the beauty industry and spent the past year training and receiving vocal lessons in South Korea in hopes of becoming an actor in the country, but he had a "strong desire" to return to the Japanese entertainment industry.[28]

Maeyama's comeback was met with criticism due to his past relationship with Kanda.[29] On September 8, 2024, Maeyama announced that he would be appearing in the stage play Aru Hi no Toori Ame to Tomo ni, his first acting role in three years.[30] Following his announcement, two actresses announced through their agencies that they would be dropping out of the play and the stage production announced on September 20, 2024, that they had postponed the play indefinitely due to safety concerns.[31] On October 9, 2024, Maeyama created a YouTube channel and posted a video apologizing for the cancellation of the play.[32] On November 28, 2024, Maeyama stated that he would not be focusing on acting for the time being but would remain active on his YouTube channel and other social media accounts.[33] On the same day, he began referring to himself as a "former actor" in his videos and social media profiles, indicating that he had retired from acting again.[33][34][35]

Personal life

[edit]

Maeyama was in a relationship with actress Sayaka Kanda after the two co-starred in the stage adaptation of Crest of the Royal Family in August 2021.[22] Maeyama and Kanda had dated with the intention of marriage.[36] In 2024, Maeyama stated that they only dated for two months and had ended their relationship by the time they had starred together in the Japanese production of My Fair Lady in November 2021.[28] Maeyama was placed under psychiatric care after her death in December 2021.[36] On January 6, 2022, Shūkan Bunshun leaked text messages that the two had exchanged on Line prior to Kanda's death, along with allegations that issues in their relationship, specifically that Maeyama had been verbally abusive towards her, were part of the reason for her suicide.[22]
