[All] [2025 Latest] ACA: Why does she keep hiding her face? Does she look exactly like JK model Akane Kato?

Zutomayo ACA-ne's real face has finally been revealed! Valuable shots from her street performances and her time as a high school model have been thoroughly examined, and structured data such as her real name, alma mater, and period of activity are fully covered. A detailed report of the latest information that fans must see.

1. Is it true that ACA-ne's real face was leaked? Tracking the spread of the information from 5ch

ACA-ne, who is active as the vocalist of Zutomayo, has consistently kept her face private on the official website. However, from around March 2022, "leaked images of her face" began to spread on multiple communities such as 5ch and Twitter. It all started around 2019, when a post was made on the 5ch music board saying "ACANE = ACA-ne" and "The birthday of the old Twitter account is June 17th." Following this, fans retweeted and reposted photos of her street performances and her time as a high school model, which were shared one after another, recording thousands of views in just a few days. The reason for this spread can be said to be a combination of the high degree of similarity between ACA-ne's voice quality and appearance, and fans' curiosity about the mysterious strategy of "not revealing her face."

2. Profile reconfirmation: Real name, date of birth, and place of birth

▪️Real name: Akane Kato
▪️Date of birth: June 17, 1998 (estimated from the profile of the former Twitter account @aca_zzo0)
▪️Birthplace: Murakami City, Niigata Prefecture (confirmed from fan posts and junior high school prefectural tournament records)
▪️Education: Niigata Prefectural Murakami High School (Uniform Station MAP shooting model information matches the uniform design)

This profile information has been corroborated from various angles, including past posts on SNS, local uniform model sites, and tournament records during the official non-public period. In particular, the shooting report published on "Uniform Station MAP" under the name "Akane Kato" was the most important source for confirming her real name and alma mater.

3. Reason 1: His true face revealed during a past street performance

Until around July 2018, ACAね was active as a solo artist under the name "ACANE," and actively performed on the streets at places such as Daikanyama LOOP in Tokyo. The old Twitter account (@aca_zzo0) used at the time stated that she was born on June 17th, which matches her current fan profile. Live footage and images taken by fans clearly show her distinctive features, such as plump lips, round eyes, and a petite figure, which are almost identical to ACAね's current appearance. In particular, the photo of her old ID written on a handwritten board displayed at the live performance was conclusive evidence confirming her identity.

4. Reason 2: Her face was revealed on "Seifuku Station MAP" when she was a JK model

Going back even further, ACA-ne was active as a JK model in the "Niigata Station Map" magazine when she was in high school. The photoshoot page clearly states "JR Murakami Station x Kato Akane," and the uniform design is a perfect match for the official uniform of Murakami Municipal Murakami High School (with its distinctive blue ribbon and blazer). In several of the photos published, her smart profile and innocent expression are shown, and even when compared to later street performance images, the eyes and mouth features show the same person. Furthermore, the name "Murakami Higashi Junior High School Kato Akane" was recorded in the results of her junior high school soft tennis club tournament, confirming that she was born and raised in Murakami.

5. Why not show your face now? The secrets behind the mysterious strategy

The possible reasons why ACAね hides her real face are, first of all, "anonymity that emphasizes the worldview of the music." The number of artists who adopt a similar approach, such as Yorushika, Ado, and Kenshi Yonezu, is increasing, and this is a new trend that encourages immersion in the music itself rather than the visuals. Secondly, from the perspective of "privacy protection," it is also speculated that she intends to reduce the risk of being stalked due to her sudden rise in popularity. Mysterious anonymity also has the effect of increasing buzz and sustaining fans' curiosity, so it can be seen as a strategically optimized branding method.
