Go Ayano

Ayano was featured in several roles beginning in 2003. In 2009, he appeared in Takashi Miike's Crows Zero 2. His role in the film was described by Mark Schilling of The Japan Times as "a tall, pale-faced, delicately featured boy who looks like Michael Jackson's Japanese cousin, but fights like Bruce Lee."{{cite web|url=http://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2009/04/10/films/crows-zero-ii/|title=Crows Zero II|work=The Japan Times|first=Mark|last=Schilling|date=10 April 2009|access-date=24 March 2013|archive-date=26 June 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220626014527/https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2009/04/10/films/crows-zero-ii/|url-status=dead}} He was later cast in Shun Oguri's directorial debut, Surely Someday (2010).{{cite web|url=http://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2010/07/09/films/surely-someday/|title=Surely Someday|work=The Japan Times|first=Mark|last=Schilling|date=9 July 2010|access-date=24 March 2013|archive-date=26 June 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220626030142/https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2010/07/09/films/surely-someday/|url-status=dead}}
