One day, he visits a library and meets the mysterious librarian Himiko, who recommends to him an ancient book about a heroic general from the Sengoku period 400 years ago. Kotaro notices that he has the same name and age as the general described in the book, and he experiences a flashback... Kotaro later mentions the book to his father, who tells him that he may be the descendent of a powerful samurai.

Miura Haruma. Shake Head

If there was a Last Friends sequel, he could play the role of Ruka.

rofl rofl rofl
I am undecided - it could apply to Shirota Yu as well.
By the way, I think he'so heavily clad in make-up because he has acne, which you can see in close-ups. But that doesn't explain or excuse his often shiny lips.

He wasn't asked to be a heroic general in that drama.

Even the Tokyograph description above calls his character "unmanly." hehe rofl

Well it�Ls true that in most of his dramas and movies he looks like a girl lolol, but he was awesome in the movie Crows Zero II as Bitou Tatsuya.

He was portraying one of my all time favorite manga characters and i was very pleased, Tatsuya is really fierce and badass in the manga, and imo Miura portraied that very well in the movie.



Anyway this drama can be really cool or a totally waste of time, i have to watch it before jumping into any kind of conclusion.

Agreed, though at this point I'm leaning towards the this-looks-like-pile-of-putty! camp....but Ohgo Suzuka and Anne! (actually don't know how Anne is as an actress, but she's Watanbe Ken's daughter right? Curiosity abounds.)

This one will probably be a ratings extravaganza slicing up the competition. Beaten

Nah, I don't think so. hehe I think the veteran players will rule this season. Aibou 8 started out with 19.4% despite changing the cast for one of the partners. This is one rating which I don't see this drama settle anywhere near by.
