There has long been a debate among fans of Asian films about which dramas are better: Japanese or Korean. There is no consensus and is unlikely to be, painfully different focuses are made by scriptwriters and directors. However, all agree on one thing: that Korean, that Japanese actors play first-class (for the most part). And they look like a come true dream: beautiful, well-groomed and charismatic. And some, in addition to filming, still sing, dance and act in commercials. Paradise for fans. In this article, we will talk about Japanese actors. It’s quite difficult to choose the very best, and there will always be someone ready to challenge the list, and yet ...
Kimura Takuya
Bright, beautiful, talented, over the years, like good wine, the Captain (as fans call him) became only better. Each role is a work of art. Whether it's a historical series or a romantic melodrama - in any case, there is no doubt that the actor will give all the best 100% and the audience will see a well-drawn character.
One of the most memorable roles of Kimura Takuya played in the drama "Pride". This is the story of a hockey player who wants to play in the big leagues, for whom sport always remains in the first place. Love? Just a game. But only until Haru meets Aki - a modest office employee who does not even know how to stand on skates.
Kamenashi Kazuya
Singer, dancer, actor, baseball player and just a handsome man. Japanese actors (photo will not lie) can be damn attractive. But besides appearance, Kazui definitely has the gift of reincarnation. Therefore, it is interesting to observe and watch how Kamenashi’s creative activity is revealed. He can do both comedic roles and images of criminals.
You can start getting acquainted with this talented actor from the drama "One Only Love".
What is the likelihood of a relationship between a girl from a wealthy family and a simple poor guy? Small. What kind of relationship can we talk about when you need to work to ensure the normal existence of a younger brother and mother? Yes, and with a rich girl. Not about any. But flashed feelings are very difficult to suppress, especially when they are mutual. Can only Hiro and Nao cope with personal problems and the opinions of others to be together?
Yamashita Tomohisa
Japanese actors are often attracted by their appearance, and then you begin to pay attention to everything else. Yamashita Tomohisa disarms and subjugates, if not from the first glance, then from the second for sure. But there is no consensus on his musical and artistic activities. Someone considers it an absolute "log" with the same "poker face", someone praises and extols. But there are two dramas in which Yamashita shines and proves once again that Japanese actors can do almost anything. These are “Code blue” and “Score at the last second”.
The first is a medical series showing workdays of the emergency department. Four applicants come to the internship, wishing to be on board the legendary "Doctor Halley" - a quick-response helicopter. But only the most capable are taken there, so the guys will have to try and show their best skills and the ability to work in any emergency.
“Score at the last second” is a more positive drama that tells a romantic story about a young, unsure basketball player and a capable but unlucky violinist. Helping each other, they can overcome their own weaknesses and, of course, find love.
Carey Hiroyuki Takagawa
Japanese supporting actors (men) also know how to attract attention and surprise with unexpected actions. We are talking about Carey-Hiroyuki Takagawa, the most famous movie fan in his roles in Mortal Kombat and Memoirs of a Geisha.
Although he counted a decent number of villains played, Takagawa attracted the attention of the public with a very unusual act: during the filming of the Russian film “Priest-san. Samurai Confession ”65-year-old Japanese actor decided to accept Russian citizenship. He does not worry about how they will perceive such an act in America, where Kary-Hiroyuki lives, believing that this is his personal business. Takagawa plans to spend most of his time in Russia, flying to America only for the winter. In addition to citizenship, the Japanese actor converted to Orthodoxy.
Sakurai Shaw
The list of “Catchy Japanese Actors” by Sakurai Sho continues. Like his many colleagues, he not only acts in films, but also sings in a popular group and broadcasts.
The most striking works of this talented guy can be considered “Quiz 2” and “Family game”. Both series make an ambiguous impression, but are addictive.
“Quiz” is a new entertaining show on the TV channel, promising for 7 correct answers a big cash prize and fulfilling any desire of the participant who reached the finals and answered the last question. Only questions are sometimes more reminiscent of a detective investigation. And the leader is not at all as sweet as it seems at first glance. He also has his secrets.
“Family game” tells the story of an unusual tutor, the arrival of which will put the whole house on his ears and will turn the whole idea of a good family. Who is he and why is he creeping into someone else's personal life? Why is it forcing children and parents to do strange things? Does he really want to help or seek to destroy the family hearth?
The list of Japanese actors and dramas in which they starred can be continued for a very long time. After all, everyone has their own favorites, whose game will always be the best.
