Name: 小栗旬
Name (romaji): Oguri Shun
Birthdate: 1982 Dec 26
Birthplace: Kodaira, Tokyo, Japan
Rate Oguri Shun:
Where did I first see him?
Without realising it, I first saw him in Densha Otoko, the tv series. It wasn’t until later, when I knew who he was, that I went back to rewatch and see him there. I can’t remember if I watched Hana Yori Dango or Gokusen first, but I watched both around the same time. It is around this time that I actively became aware of Shun. I’m not sure when I first became to really appreciate him as an actor, but I certainly came to admire him.
My Opinion
Shun is one busy boy. He seems to do a lot. I really like Shun as an actor - he’s someone that I would watch something because he is in it. He is pretty sexy too, in an odd kind of way - and definitely looks better with darker hair in my opinion.
Misc Facts
Shun has Pectus Excavatum, a disorder in the chest which makes a part of it sunken. He’s still sexy.
He’s left handed. Lefties for world domination!
He likes surfing.

Rate Hiro:
Where Did I First See Him?
I first saw Hiro on Hana Kimi, as the dorm leader. I thought he was a bit of alright, and wanted to find out more about him. It turns out he lived in Sweden for a lot of his younger years and so is fluent in English. I would love to hear him talk English.
My Opinion:
Definitely someone I would like to keep on eye on. For more than one reason.

Where did I first see her?
I first saw her in Nodame Cantabile. Nodame, an adorable character who scarily reminds me of myself in some ways. Maybe over share.

Rate Eita:
Where did I first see him?
The first time I saw him was in Kimi wa Petto, but I admit I didn’t really take notice until Nodame Cantabile.
My Opinion:
I really like him as an actor. He some how seems to play the same character in a lot of what he does, I wonder if he has just been typecast of if that’s a bit of himself coming through. I like his wild hair that always seems to be different, and I don’t think I’ve been disappointed in anything I’ve seen of him.

Name: 長澤まさみ (ながさわ まさみ)
Name (romaji): Nagasawa Masami

Rate Masami:
Where do I know her from?
Mainly from Dragon Zakura and Proposal Daisakusen. I also have the movie “Touch” but I haven’t watched it yet.
My Opinion:
Masami seems to be a very good actor. I can see how she has matured in her acting from Dragon Zakura to Proposal Daisakusen. She portrays a lot through her facial expressions which I think is fantastic. She is also very beautiful, still quite young and has a strong career ahead of her.
