Bald Hiroyuki Nishimura! ? Reiwa’s buzz maker Kenta Nishimura is the one who prioritizes bald girls over 2 girls!
This time, we’re sharing an exclusive in-depth interview with Kenta Nishimura, the viral “bald makeup” TikTok star who is currently blowing up on TikTok and Instagram! There’s some behind-the-scenes info you won’t find anywhere else, so make sure to check it out!
Nexter:
Thank you so much for agreeing to this interview.
Kenta Nishimura:
It’s my pleasure, thank you!
Nexter:
I was a bit nervous about which version of you we’d meet—without makeup, I see! (laughs)
Kenta Nishimura:
Yes! (laughs)

Nexter:
Sorry for starting off like this, but I had to ask! (laughs)
Kenta Nishimura:
It’s all good! Feel free to tease me as much as you like and make the article engaging!
Nexter:
Understood! Thank you for being so open.
Nexter:
Let’s dive right in. Normally, we’d ask about how you became an influencer and where you’re from, but I’m going to take a different approach: “When did you start going bald?” Is that okay to ask?
Kenta Nishimura:
Haha, what a way to start! I first started noticing something was off around the age of 17.
Nexter:
That’s around the age when many people start noticing these changes, especially during puberty!
Kenta Nishimura:
Exactly. My dad is in his 60s and hasn’t gone bald, so I was really worried and didn’t know what was happening.
Nexter:
So your father doesn’t have hair loss. Was it not genetic?
Kenta Nishimura:
I thought it might not be genetic, but then I found out that my grandfather was bald. So, it turned out to be a case of hereditary baldness, passed down through the generations.
Nexter:
Ah, that makes sense! I was starting to wonder if your dad was secretly wearing a wig! (laughs)
Kenta Nishimura:
Haha, nope, not that! But back then, I was also dealing with skin issues, so I struggled a lot with both the hair loss and acne.

Nexter:
That sounds like something many teenagers go through, especially at that age.
Kenta Nishimura:
Yeah, exactly. But dealing with acne pushed me to start paying attention to skincare, and I think those experiences have shaped me in a positive way today.
Nexter:
It’s amazing how you turned those challenges into growth. By the way, where are you originally from? I’ve seen your videos but don’t remember you mentioning your hometown.
Kenta Nishimura:
I’m actually from Tokyo. It’s not a secret, I just don’t usually bring it up in my videos because of the structure of my content.
Nexter:
Oh, Tokyo! That’s great! Which part of Tokyo?
Kenta Nishimura:
I grew up near Shimokitazawa.

Nexter:
Shimokitazawa, a very trendy area! That explains your strong sense of fashion and interest in beauty products.
Kenta Nishimura:
Maybe! I also really like accessories, and while continuing my current work, I’ve started creating and selling my own accessories. I hope to expand on that more in the future.
Nexter:
That’s fantastic! So when did you start your influencer career? Was there a specific moment or motivation behind it?
Kenta Nishimura:
Actually, I’ve only been working under the “Kenta Nishimura” name since June 2023—so it’s been only about six months.
Nexter:
What? Only six months? You’ve gained so much momentum so quickly!
Kenta Nishimura:
Yes, and I’m really grateful for that! I even held a fan meet recently, and around 100 people showed up.
Nexter:
That’s amazing! To gather 100 people in just six months is incredible. By the way, when you mention “Kenta Nishimura,” does that mean you were active under a different account before?
Kenta Nishimura:
Yes, actually, I had a TikTok account before with a completely different direction. It was more adult-themed, so I had to pause it due to content restrictions.

Nexter:
That sounds intriguing! How many followers did you have on that account?
Kenta Nishimura:
Around 200,000.
Nexter:
That’s a huge following! Despite pausing that account, you quickly found success with your new one—you’re like a social media prodigy!
Nexter:
So, when did you really decide to focus on social media?
Kenta Nishimura:
I decided to go all-in on social media after graduating from university.
Nexter:
Did you start working at a company first?
Kenta Nishimura:
No, I didn’t. I felt like becoming a company employee wasn’t for me.

Nexter:
So you made the bold decision to skip the corporate path and dive straight into social media! That’s a huge decision.
Kenta Nishimura:
It was. I spent a whole year just focusing on how to go viral and thinking about nothing else.
Nexter:
That kind of passion is what makes someone stand out. By the way, how old are you now?
Kenta Nishimura:
I’m 26 years old, so it’s been four years since I started taking social media seriously.

Kenta Nishimura:
On all my platforms, about 90% of my followers are women.
Nexter:
That makes sense, given your “handsome makeup” style! What age group makes up most of your followers? I’d guess teens to early 20s?
Kenta Nishimura:
Surprisingly, most of my followers are actually in the housewife demographic.
Nexter:
That’s an unexpected twist! A bald man who’s popular with housewives—lucky guy! And you’re handsome, too!
Kenta Nishimura:
Haha, it’s all good!

Nexter:
Lastly, we had a surprise prank video with our executive, Miyuki Ito, on YouTube. How did you find the experience?
Kenta Nishimura:
I can’t spoil it, but it was a really fulfilling experience. I’m sure the final video will be great, especially after the editing.
Nexter:
I can’t wait to see it! I’ll definitely be watching. Thanks for your time today!
Kenta Nishimura:
Thank you! I hope everyone enjoys the video!
Afterword:
We had the pleasure of digging deep into the rise of Kenta Nishimura, the buzzworthy TikTok sensation. Be sure to check out the prank video on Miyuki Ito’s YouTube channel, which was released just yesterday!
