He was so funny in Boss. He's always so different in every drama he acts in, it's hard to know which one is the real Yutaka. I like to imagine the Nodate character is the one closest to what he's like in real life.
The flirting he does! *fans self* My favorite line is when he came up to Toda Erika and said "Hi, my name is Nodate. I'm a hunk." Cracks me up every time.
Can't post any pics right now. Have to go pick up my boy from summer camp! But thank you yutakagr for all the yummy yummy eye candy. I do love his lips and his varied expressions :)

Mmmm Nodate <3 One of my favorite roles of his, too.
From what I've seen in interviews/guest appearances on talk shows, Takenouchi seems very quiet and reserved, like it might take a bit for him to come out of his shell. I remember he talked about reading the script for Boss and couldn't believe the lines they expected him to deliver. The line "My voice is just as nice as my face," in particular, seems to have embarrassed him. That line was actually translated incorrectly in the hardsubs...but we can't be too hard on the translator because Takenouchi's super low (sexy) voice sometimes makes it hard to pick up what he's saying lol.
The gap between his real-life personality and his jdrama personas are another thing I love about him. He's so good at being flirty and cocky even though he may not be like that in real life. It makes me appreciate Nodate's character that much more.
As he said in an old interview,none of his roles has something common with the real Yutalka Takenouchi.He would like to play the ''jealous boyfriend''sometime,but a friend of mine that had the LUCK TO MEET him in person,said -except that he looks 100 times more handsome in reality-that is a shy,kind,polite man...Very shy.
Nodate is my favorite character.But I think it was very hard for him to ''feel''his role,like strawberryfzz said :naughty:
Lord me help me I love that scar on his cheek. I just want to kiss kiss kiss kiss it.
Whenever he's in a fight in a drama, the make up people always put blood on that scar.
Your friend is so lucky yutakagr! Quick! Dish on how they met! What was he wearing? Did he smell nice? What did he say?
I wouldn't mind seeing him as a jealous boyfriend. Or a stalker. Just someone hopelessly in love so I can imagine I am the object of his affection instead of whoever is the actress opposite him.

It's great that you're sharing this! I'm always looking for personal details like that on Yutaka. I've read some of his magazine interviews through the google translator but the grammar gets all wonky and mixed up, it's kinda hard to understand sometimes. I wish there was a website where his interviews are translated to proper English so us non-Japanese/Mandarin speaking fans can appreciate him even more.

I have Toshiie with eng subs if you want them.
Great pics everyone. Glad to see you, Deidre. Long time no see.
I loved Fumo CHitai BTW. Highly recommended. Yutaka plays a very passionate role. And he did a pretty good job with all the English he had to speak. :victory:
And now some pics to help us along on our Mission 200.
Of course I will be starting with THE PEACOAT! :hehe:
I loved Fumo Chitai too. Didn't think I would like anything that didn't have Yutaka as it's lead but it was surprisingly engaging. Kyoko is so beautiful. Loved Yutaka's relationship with Amami Yuki!
I also loved his English! Very good!
But you know what? The best English I've heard him speak was in Rikon Bengoshi when they first revealed him. He was talking on the phone, his back to Amami Yuki and he was saying "Yes. I know. I know.We'll talk later." Mmmmmm. If only he'd say "I know. I know." to me on the phone...:inlove:
Thanks for the offer Eve! I'm going back to Malaysia this September and will hunt for whatever Yutaka DVDs they have. If I can't find Toshiie then I'll definitely take you up on your offer.
Hey ladies,nice pics :applaud: :applaud: thanx for sharing.
@N Arbr Fan you can read some quotes in yutakaonline-if you haven't already-,and in this site:

Here are some pics from fans,lucky them!
And some of their stories sound interesting about our man...anyways..
Hi all I am new here so I thought I'd want to stop by and say hello.
Yutaka is a great actor, not bad to look at too hehe! Love his off screen personality as well (thank you for the picture with him and the dog!). He is one of the few actors I actually follow. Hope to see more of him real soon :)
Welcome pippi! Hooray! More people to help us to 200!
Yutakagr, I've read the gakinme articles. I was so glad and thankful I found those. I read about the Vending Machine of Misery and thought "Ohh, poor guy!" After that, whenever he's in a scene with a vending machine nearby I'd say "Watch out, Yutaka! It's the Vending Machine of Misery!"
This is probably what he's feeling whenever he's close to a vending machine.
He totally needs to pass those genes on! Can't let them go to waste. :hehe:
Just finished Kazoku, all in one sitting. Yay for day offs! :woot: I loved watching Yutaka interact with the cute little boy.
Well, even if he doesn't have a son part of his genes is passed on through his nephew. Maybe that nephew will grow up to be as good looking as him. :fingerscrossed:
Like I said, I love love love that scar on his cheek.
