I have to disagree with you in this department. although that is my favorite j-star in fukuda, i don't think she can act all that well. a lot of her characters are in fact rehashed and very similar. her physical appearance is what sells in her drama. as far as acting skills, i think either tokiwa and/or matsushima is near the top, but i still prefer fukuda's looks over the 2 of them. - niko

i agree. fukada kyoko cannot act for nutz. my goodness.. i dun watch her shows. n when i try.. i really cringe at the way she acts..

I think the 9 artistes I voted for are the best actors & actresses. Well, I like them most

Ones that I didn't vote for, but think are also good are Ryoko Hirosue, Kimura Takuya, Oda Yuji, Abe Hiroshi (sorry if I spelled his name wrong)and Matsushima Nanako

The 2 most talented & often underated actors:
Toshiaki Kurosawa & Eguchi Yosuke

The most talented, often underated & overlooked for starring roles actresses are:

Shinohara Ryoko & Koyuki

The most versatile, matched with beauty & good sense of style is of course Koyuki!

the best veteran actors:
I agree with zai for Eguchi yousuke and Karasawa san....they are amazingly talented....they have the potiental and just...really stand out in a really good veteran way...I love Eguchi Yousuke san...he's my dream guy lol....but I really love how he acts and portrays the roles he does.....karasawa san really makes me feel....that I love him or hate him depending on what kind of role he is in..he is that amazing...not many actors have this remarkable taste....

The best semi veteran:
Have to go with Takenouchi Yutaka....he is really well off...he can act as a ganster to a police men and he can pulll it off amazingly....his really nice looks go with many of the roles and his acting skills prove..he is young but he is one of the semi looking veterans....

The best newcomer:
Akanishi Jin..I'm not a fan of him....he can act...yes...he really blends into the role he is told to do...he really fit well for his Anego role and he amazed me really well...I thought he was not that smart but when it comes to acting...he shows his brain and talent..go Jin....

Favorite Actress:...Who do I like....oh I like Shibasaki Kou! I liked her in Doctor Koto-...she can sing..she has stunning beauty...she can show off her acting very naturally....I liked how she always portrays her role...in Orange days..she was very interesting lol....

Favorite new comer actress: I'll have to go with Ayase Haruka...he's beutiful and did a great role in Sekachuu....she actually made me like the character she played and it kinda made me sad about what was going to happen to her..she has potiential and hope to see more of her talents.

i think hard gay is the most talented actor in japanese entertainment

i suggest somebody start a voting project to see who's the most talented so ppl can put in all the hard work creating it only to see ppl bitch, moan and insult each other ...dayem what a good idea!

- itoh atsushi - really good performance in densha otoko.. it wouldnt be the same without him..
- tomoya nagase - I like his performance in mukodono
- hiroki narimiya - he can acts different characters nicely..
- kou shibasaki - great acting in battle royale and orange days..
- erika sawajiri - although I only saw her from 1 litre, her acting was quite promising..

i agree with littleangel91356 for the above.. Jin plays the role os a rebellious high sch student ( gokusen2) and normal salaryman (anego) equally well and convinving. And its within such a short time frame!! cant deny he really has talent in acting..

I think most talented for me are(not in any ranking):

Yukie Nakama
Kou Shibasaki
Abe Hiroshi
Eguchi Yosuke
Masakazu Tamura

I like the actings from Akiko Yada, Satoshi Tsumabuki, Masanobu Ando etc (cant think them all now ). But I like their actings doesnt mean that they are as talented as the above 5 listed.

to be fair with myself, I didnt include those actor/actress that I like (or love )...haha...there are some actors and actresses who cant act but got the leads most of the time. Is there anyone here who share the same thought as me?? LOL...I am not pin-pointing anyone, but if u guys are ok to talk about, I dun mind saying mine then. haha..

for me now Itoh Atsushi i think the most talented............i've seen him in Umizaru movie and Densha Otoko..........he doing great, two thumbs up.....
and for his next dorama Saiyuuki i'm sure he will doing great too.......

for me.. i feel that yamaguchi tomoko is really a good actress! she portray the character of minani very well in Long Vacation.. really keeps me laughing =) and for the males.. its no doubt Kimura Takuya.. i have seen many of his dramas.. and in each drama.. he plays a different role.. which shows how flexible he can be =D
