Hideaki Ito was born in Nagasaki, Japan. His father was an official in the Japan Self Defense Force and his mother is a housewife. As a child, he became very sick and was hospitalized for about three years.

He originally had no intention of becoming an actor, but when he turned eighteen, his friend's sister helped him apply to a talent competition for young male actors. He came in second place and was signed on to his first talent agency, marking the beginning of his successful career in acting.
