Yūichi Nakamura

is a Japanese actor. He is best known for the roles of Kyōsuke Kiriya in the 2005 tokusatsu series Kamen Rider Hibiki, Otoya Hanazono in the 2006 midnight drama Princess Princess D, and Yuto Sakurai/Kamen Rider Zeronos in the 2007 tokusatsu series Kamen Rider Den-O.

Nakamura was affiliated with the acting group D-Boys produced by Watanabe Entertainment.

In 2012, he announced he would be taking a break from show business, but in 2014 he announced he had been signed to a new talent agency, G-Star.Pro.

Career Nakamura started his career in entertainment in 2003, joining the talent agency Johnny & Associates under the Johnny's Jr. division. However, through his time in Johnny's Jr., Nakamura realized he had more interest in pursuing a career in acting than in music, despite the passion for dance that motivated him to join the agency. When Watanabe Entertainment's action production group D-Boys announced its first public audition searching for new talents in 2004, Nakamura left Johnny & Associates to try for the new group that conformed more to the career he sought.

On July 27, 2004, Nakamura performed in the D-Boys Open Audition, and came in as the Grand Prize winner. He joined the group shortly after, along with runner-up Shunji Igarashi and third-placer Katsuki Nakamura. Nakamura was one of the constantly-expanding group's longest-standing members.

In March 2010, Nakamura became part of a new D-Boys sub-unit named D-Date alongside Shunji Igarashi, Kōji Seto, Hirofumi Araki and Arata Horii, but had to leave for health reasons and medical treatment. Despite recovering, on September 25, 2012, he resigned from his agency, retiring from the entertainment industry.

He returns to the show business on August 31, 2014.

On December 18, 2022, Nakamura announces his marriage to a non-celebrity woman.
