Machida Keita (町田啓太) is a Japanese actor. He is member of the acting group Gekidan EXILE.

Early Life

Machida Keita was born on July 4, 1990 in Higashiagatsuma, Japan. He has one younger and one older sister.

As a child, he loved vehicles and aspired to be a pilot.[1] For this reason, he entered Japan Aviation High School Ishikawa after graduating from junior high school. He also started dancing in high school and was the captain of the dance club.[2][3]

Because his eyesight problems made it difficult for him to pursue a pilot's career, he gave up on piloting when choosing a course in his sophomore year and went on to take a mechanics course where he learned about the structure of aircraft. He then decided to obtain a physical education teaching license and teach dance, so he started attending Nippon Sport Science University.[4][5]

While working as a member of the dance circle "Cypher Heads Fam" at university, he was approached by a professional dancer and invited to attend EXPG Tokyo as a scholarship student, taking dance and acting lessons.[6]

Career

Machida joined Gekidan EXILE after successfully passing the Dai 3kai Gekidan EXILE Audition (第3回劇団EXILEオーディション) out of 2000 contestants in August 2010.[7]

In December of the same year, he started his acting career in the stage play "Rokudenashi BLUES" but ruptured his left Achilles tendon during the performance.[2] As a result, he was forced to leave the show and recuperate for several months.[1]

In July 2011, he was selected as a candidate member of GENERATIONS and left Gekidan EXILE.[8] However, in September of the same year, he injured his right leg calf and focused on recovering afterwards.[9][10]

On February 14, 2012, it was reported that he dropped out of being a GENERATIONS candidate and rejoined Gekidan EXILE to focus on acting.[11][12]
