Several celebrities joined thousands of running enthusiasts participating in the 2025 Tokyo Marathon.

Japan's capital city held the annual 26.2-mile (42.1-kilometer) race on March 1, with a total of 26,706 runners completing the course. Over 37,000 registered for the event.

It's among the six World Marathon Majors, alongside Berlin Marathon, Boston Marathon, Chicago Marathon, London Marathon, and New York City Marathon.

The race sees professionals and non-professionals at work, with many preparing at least a year in advance.

Here are the celebrities laced up their running shoes and joined this year's Tokyo Marathon.

Several videos showed him acknowledging fans who were enthused about his unexpected appearance. In one video, he gave a thumbs up to onlookers cheering him.

According to the Tokyo Marathon website, the Watermelon Sugar singer crossed the finish line in 3:24:07 with an average pace of 4:51/km.
