Career
In 2019, during Nishigaki's second year at university, a friend suggested that he compete in the 'Mister Keio Contest'. He managed to place first and win the grand prize. After that, he was scouted by several entertainment agencies. However, since he knew nothing about acting at the time, he only took their business cards but declined their offers.
However, later on, Nishigaki became interested in the idea of possibly appearing on television and decided to take professional acting lessons as a trainee at an entertainment agency for a year, but unfortunately, he was unsuccessful in getting any roles.
After Nishigaki was unable to land any roles and was about to refrain from pursuing his aspirations in acting, he was scouted by his current manager and he was signed with Toho Entertainment.
In 2021, Nishigaki made his acting debut in the live-action television adaptation of the manga Captivated, by You.
