Actors:Oguri Shun - top of the list. Hana Yori Dango; Yuuki; Summer Snow; CROW ZERO and he also does Shakespeare so extra plus for him! Wonderfully flexible as an actor and an amazing stage presence apparently.
Kamenashi Kazuya - A MUCH better actor than he is a singer, but being JE he has to sing obviously. Some of my favourite roles include: Tatta Hitotsu no Koi; Yuuki and Gokusen 2. So much emotion!
Sato Takeru - young and new-ish to the scene. First saw him in Mei-chan no Shitsuji and then ROOKIES which was an amazing drama! I recently saw him in MW the movie and was really impressed.
MizoHiro - can't remember where I first noticed him, but he's made a pretty good impression. From Mei-chan, to MR.BRAIN and now TOKYO DOGS besides Shun Oguri.
Teppei Koike - I can't wait for him to stop playing the cute fuzzy roles, but I love him anyway. Team Medical Dragon; Dragon Zakura; Shibatora; Gokusen 2; KIDS to name a few.
Kim Jae Wook - loved him in Coffee Prince and saw him in Antique and if I didn't know better I would have ACTUALLY thought him gay he did such a fantastic job!
I want to mention
Jung Yong Hwa - first time actor and doing an amazing job!
The last two are Korean I know! XD;
Actresses:
Very few Actress don't annoy me...especially the younger ones.
Amami Yuki - words cannot describe how amazing I think she is! If you haven't seen
boss (she's the leading lady) I really recommend it to you!
Natsuki Mari - she has amazing roles and she always does them so well!!
