I doubt there is much fans of Kenji in here, but I know for a fact that there are at least SOME fans of him here!

Anyway, I'm a huge fan of Kenji ever since I saw the movie Number One and fell madly in love with him instantly! He's got everything; looks, talent and a perfectly built body!

Ok, so if anyone out there is a fan of Kenji then come in and chat with me!

I'm glad some of u replied!

Anyway, anyone out there who has a crush on Kenji? I mean, seriously in love with him? I am! I'm totally in love with him! I used to have a crush on Takki, but now Kenji is the only japanese I have eyes for! He is the kind of guy I would want to have my breed of kids with!

Anyway, has anyone met Kenji in person? I kinda doubt that, but if u have, can u tell me the story behind that? Also, have u guys ever watched Number One? That's the movie which got me hooked on him in the first place, anyone watched that? How do u guys rate his performance in it? I rate him 10/10! He really suited his role of Toma in the movie! But I would've loved it even more if he didn't do drugs, that way he would not be arrested! He could've had a lovely relationship with his girlfriend! But overall, that movie was one of the best japanese movies I've ever watched!

I think Kenji has a very good physique. I think his dad was a wrestler or something right?

And its still unconfirmed (but an open secret) that he and Koyuki are an item. I think they look good together. (both are tall)

Hey spidergal

About Number One, well, I'll just tell u Kenji's character...he plays Toma, he works at a club called 'Number One' (which was the main focus of the whole movie), the club is like a brothel, but the difference is that men entertain the women, instead of women entertaining the men...the club is like a retreat for women who wants to party or just wants to have a girls night out, they entertainers are all men, and sometimes these men give the women sexual pressures, if the women wants it...it's abit like a brothel, and Toma is one fo those "enterainers" who basically just sit and chat with the female customers. But he also has a bad temper, and always seems to get himself into trouble with gang leaders. He has a girlfriend whom he has been dating for 4 years, but he won't admit that she is his girlfriend because I guess it's because he thinks it would ruin his "image" as he works at such a high-class club.
One day his girlfriend spotted him trading drugs with a gang and she reported him to the police and he was arrested...but she was heartbroken because she and Toma actually known each other since they are kids, and she really felt that Toma was her Knight in Shining Armor.
That's basically the details of Kenji's character in that movie, but it really is a good movie to watch, good luck in finding it and hope u enjoyed it as much as I did!

Kenji Sakaguchi hospitalized for hip joint pain

Sakaguchi Kenji will be taking some time off work due to his right hip joint problem and is scheduled to be hospitalised after his surgery. According to his agency, Sakaguchi has been busy with the filming of his dramas i.e. "Iryu 4" and "Zoku Saigo kara Nibanme no Koi" since the beginning of the year and had to use crutches in order to walk two months ago due to the pain. However, during the filming of "Zoku Saigo kara Nibanme no Koi", he didn't want to use them on set so as not to let the staff and cast worry too much about his condition. However, the pain in his right hip joint proved too much to bear and he underwent an examination in the middle of this month where he was told to go through a more detailed test and treatment that would require him to be hospitalised for 1 week to 10 days. As such, he will only return to work in August after he recovers.
