Heyy I was just wondering what everyone's favourite japanese actors/actresses and what movie/series they were in or you liked them best in^^
because it seems like jdramas are becoming more popular nowadays =p

Mine are:
- Kamenashi Kazuya (Gokusen 2, Nobuta wo Produce)
- Yamashita Tomohisa/Yamapi (Nobuta wo Produce, Dragon Zakura)
- Koike Teppei (Dragon Zakura, Gokusen 2)
- Matsumoto Jun (Gokusen, Hana Yori Dango, Kimi wa Petto)
- Oguri Shun (Hana Yori Dango, Gokusen)
- Akanishi Jin (Gokusen 2, Anego)

or maybe I just wanted a place to fangirl over my beloved pretty boys =p

I guess I dont' really have a favourite J-actress for now...

Don't forget the actresses photos when you post, Doug ;)

Naohito Fujiki. ;o;<33333333333333 He's so hot. Okay, superficiality aside, I think he's a good actor. He gives the best death glares!! He is also one of the few asian men who can pull off an unshaven look without looking like a child molestor. :D

Ryoko Hirosue. I loved her in Wasabi. XD It's not the best movie but she was so cute in it. :(

Tackey is pretty cute in the j-drama Antique Cake Shop. XD Can't wait to watch more dramas with him. :3

Asano Tadanobu is badass so I guess he's my fave J-actor.

As for actresses, not really familiar with names, but I do like Ryoko Hirosue.

I'm not really into particular actors/actresses. If the movie/show sucks, the actor/actress usually won't change that. I usually follow directors more closely.

Oh to add. I don't know if Katou Kazuki has done tv/movie appearances but he starred in the stage performance, Tenimyu (Prince of Tennis musical). His voice is gorgeous and he's really hot too. :3 But really, his singing voice is so beautiful. Shirota Yuu's voice is great too. I haven't seen a j-drama that he's in but in the musical, he's very good. :D Nagayama from TeniMyu is a good actor/singer too. He's also in the Bleachmyu. :)

I like Narimiya Hiroki! XD :lol: He's so cute!!!! And he's talented...gotta love that. ^_^
I'm not sure about j-actress...none of them have really caught my interest lately. :hmm:

Not sure what you mean, but I'm going to cheat and pick Toshiro Mifune (Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, Rashomon).

For specifically jdramas, I'm only acquainted with 90s stuff, so. . . .

Norika Sakai (Hoshi no Kinka, Hitotsu Yane no Shita)
Tomoko Yamaguchi (Long Vacation)
Miho Nakayama (2000 no koi, Love Letter)

Yuji Oda (Okane ga nai!)
Yutaka Takenouchi (Hoshi no Kinka)

oh mifune, how could i forget him, he's awesome too.

haha okane ga nai... that's also the name of a yaoi manga. XD I wonder if they're related.

I don't watch a lot of jDrama, but the only one I do watch is Hana Yori Dango. *-*
---> :wub: Oguri Shun (I love his hair style and especially him in a white tux)

Oguri Shun looks soo good in Hana Yori Dango <3 And I love his character too! Hanazawa Rui ^_^ such a cool, mysterious and quiet person XD

i kinda dislike oguri shun =P. i hate his character in HYD too.

fav actor would be kame cuz he's sexy. lol

fav actress would be Ito Misaki cuz she looks elegant, soft and calm

ex-fav actress would be Matsushima Nanako but she looks old now and less atractive. last time i saw her was HYD and she looked horrible to me. mainly beucase she's tanned and the director is trying to make her look young and stylish but that just makes her looks 40s tryign to fit in wtih the 20s again

Actor: Oguri Shun <3333 . He's a bit old, but I LOVED HIS HAIR IN Densha Otoko! Hair wins me over!
Actress: Horikita Maki... because Maki-chan is tooooo cute <3333333

you just said it all.....

I mean, all pretty boys i like =v=!!!!!

have to admit that Johnny's is really a strong compamy.

omg asano is awesome. plus he gets all these cool roles in movies.

I've watched too few J-dramas or movies to really have a favourite, but I think Matsumoto Jun's a pretty good actor. Don't really know that many J-actresses though.

I think Erika Sawajiri (1 Litre of Tears) is an awesome actress!! she was soooooo fitting for that role and she played it so well! I reccomend this drama XD it will also make you cry haha, shes so pretty too .___. wow

so many good actors in japan...nakama yukie, abe hiroshi, matsumoto jun, takizawa hideaki, and (maybe for his looks but he's still a good actor) yamashita tomohisa aka yamapi
