Personally, I must say that hands down... my favorite Japanese actor has to be... dum dum dum...
OGURI SHUN
why?
That sucker just.. is superb in all roles he partakes in.
He started off with being a bullied student to being the bully to being the bad ass guy trying to take over the school....
Well of course there's plenty of in between roles but I loved listing these roles of his
Anyways, I first saw the dear Oguri Shun in GTO and omgaahhh.. Never thought he'd make it this far. Did y'all know that he's a high school drop-out too? I'm so proud of where he's at today with his popularity because despite dropping out of high school... he's so successful today.. (I'm not trying to say that dropping out of high school is a good thing
) Though he played the poor innocent boy bullied in class.. he was adorable in there.
I must say that my favorite characters of his that he ever played has to be:
Shinoda Jun (his deaf character from Summer Snow) <--- great drama!
The arsonist Yazama Ken cameo in Fire Boys
Uchiyama from Gokusen (I will always recall those scenes of him slicking back his long blonde hair
this was his start of a Bully-ish hehe)
Hanazawa Rui!! from Hana Yori Dango <---- Rui FTW...
Izumi Sano from Hana Kimi <--- who can forget him in here
Tokyo Dogs <----- I love him as a detective. He should play more detective roles!!!!
... Crows Zero, Space Brothers, Detective Conan .... etc..
oh goodness, I can list all his characters!! He's just so good at portraying all his characters.
He's truly a wonderful actor in my opinion.... I find it crazy that I've actually seen like more than half his work... despite them stageplays.. oh man... how i'd love to see his stageplay.
Yes, I'm a big-time Shun fan
just what can I say?
will list my other actors next time. :3
ex: Sato Takeru, Nagase Tomoya, Tomohisa Yamashita, Matsuda Shota ...
