DC started his acting career in Japan when he moved there in 2005.

It was then that he was discovered and put in the highly visible role of “Yosou Guy” for the launch of SoftBank’s mobile division. It was the first of its kind and Carver’s role promoted the dual meaning of his name Yosogai meaning “to do something unexpected in a smart way” (him being a non-Japanese actor promoting a high-profile Japanese company) and the company itself expanding into mobile territory which was quite unexpected.

Since then, he has become a household name all throughout Japan. Carver’s role with Softbank slowly transitioned to another character (“Older Brother”) and he is one of the few, rare actors who have had a long-term successful contract and career with a Japanese company. This marks his 14th year and running.
In a national competition throughout Japan, Carver was voted the most popular male actor in commercials TWICE, beating out Takuya Kimura the first time, who had previously held the title for eight consecutive years. DC won (2008 and 2009).

This opened doors for various film and tv shows. His first film that he was involved in, “Happily Ever After” directed by Yukihiko Tsutsumi received one nomination at the Japanese Academy Awards followed by “Feel the Wind” directed by Sumio Ohmori which won two awards at the Yokohama Film Festival. He gained popularity with children as he secured a recurring role in “Super Kids Zone: Be Ponkicki” (similar to “Sesame Street”). He expanded his experience into modeling, video games, marketing, promotions, and voice-overs as well as landing various sponsorships. He has been gaining momentum in Hollywood as well, working on the popular videogame series “Resident Evil: Vendetta” which was debuted at San Diego Comic-Con 2017. (see imdb for expanded resume) Carver Also, produced and starred in the film “Pancakes” which was featured at the Hollywood Film Festival. It’s theatrical release was December 2019 throughout Japan titled “Good People”. He’s currently cast in the feature “Confidence Man JP” that just started production.

When asked what prompted him to take up acting, Carver replied, “I was four years old when I saw Denzel Washington and Lawrence Fishburne on TV. They inspired me to look into being an actor. Also, I like the feeling that
I get from watching other actors do their craft and want to do the same; hopefully, inspire my mother and those around me.”

Carver is also an accomplished athlete. You can find his workout and training videos on his Instagram @dantecarverofficial. Native English speaker, conversational Japanese, designer, musician, producer, – truly a modern-day Renaissance man.
