Katsuya
Katsuya originated the role of Cal in Waitress the Musical in Japan.
Before becoming an actor, Katsuya was a part-time construction worker. His great-grandfather came from the Netherlands to Japan to sell jewellery during the Meiji period.
He is now one of Japan’s most established actors, having starred in a wide variety of TV shows, anime, video games, musicals and theatre, and internet shows.
On starring in Waitress, Katuya said: “Cal is rough, but I think he is a man with a very low definition of happiness. He immediately feels happy because nothing happens. I hope you discover the happiness around you, that you may miss. I think the most important role is the one that is required to create the atmosphere of the city. I hope you feel the atmosphere of waitresses working in this city and find happiness by eating delicious pies on your way home.”
