Architect Co., Ltd. has released its August 2026 Talent Power Ranking, identifying the male actors and talents who saw the most significant increase in their power scores between May and August 2026.

Ayumu Nakajima secured the top position, driven by his roles in the TBS drama ‘T-shirts ga Kawaku made’, the film ‘Hako no Naka no Hitsuji’, and the Netflix production ‘Gasu Ningen’. Other notable rising stars include Ryo Ryusei and Masato Sakai, both of whom gained momentum from their performances in the TBS Sunday Theater series ‘VIVANT’.
