Daito Shunsuke, born Daito Hironori (大東弘典) in Sakai, Osaka, Japan, is a Japanese actor, television personality, fashion model, and bassist. He is affiliated with BLUE LABEL (ブルー・ラベル) and is a member of the band HONEY BADGER (ハニー・バッジャー). Daito graduated from Osaka Prefectural Sakai Technical High School (大阪府立堺工業高等学校).

Raised by his aunt after his parents' divorce when he was in third grade, Daito’s father, a taxi driver, disappeared when he was 8. At 18, he moved to Tokyo, where he worked part-time in Harajuku before auditioning for the entertainment industry and being accepted.

In 2005, Daito became an exclusive model for FINEBOYS (ファインボーイズ) and made his acting debut in the Nippon Television drama Nobuta wo Produce (野ブタ。をプロデュース).

On June 18, 2010, he was involved in a moped accident in Setagaya, Tokyo, fracturing his femur. This injury caused him to miss the final filming of Tumbling (タンブリング) and withdraw from the TV Asahi drama Keishicho Keizoku Sosa Han (警視庁継続捜査班), though he returned to work in late July.

In December 2011, Daito transferred from Top Coat (トップコート) to A.L.C.Atlantis, changing his stage name to Daito Shunsuke. After A.L.C.Atlantis ceased operations in August 2023, he moved to BLUE LABEL.

In 2023, Daito formed the band HONEY BADGER with friends, including Chihara Junia (千原ジュニア). They debuted in January 2024 at the event STILL MORE BOUNCE 2.

Daito married a woman, who was pregnant with his child, in December 2015, and they had been living separately until April 2020, when they began living together with their three children.
