Name: Matusmoto Jun
Nicknames: MatsuJun, Junji
Birthday: 8/30/83
Height: 5'6" (173cm)
Weight: 127 lbs (58kg)
Where do I know him from? Gokusen, Kimi wa Petto, Hana Yori Dango, Bambino
Tell me some more! MatsuJun is also a member of the singing group Arashi. They debuted in 1999 and are still going strong.
What is your opinion of him? I've seen a couple of his shows with some variety in characters. He plays a bad boy very well. I'm hoping to catch Bambino at some point to see how he handles that role. On the singing side, he doesn't have the best voice in Arashi but he definitely has the charisma to make up for it.

Name: Itoh Masaki (Itou Masaki/Ito Masaki)
Real Name: Anzai Tomoko
Birthday: 5/26/77
Height: 5'7" (171cm)
Where do I know her from? Densha Otoko, Gokusen, Taiho Shichauzo (You're Under Arrest), Maison Ikkoku (live action drama), Ju-on: The Grudge
Tell me some more! Besides acting and modeling, Misaki is qualified to teach kindergarten. She also has a license to be a social welfare officer. Despite it being rather uncommon for Japanese celebrities, Misaki has drivers license as well.
What is your opinion of her? At this point in time, I've only seen a couple of her series. She seems to do well playing a "typical" quiet Japanese woman. I have yet to see her in a role where she breaks the rules or is more forceful with her feelings. It would be interesting to see her try out some different types of characters.

Name: Oguri Shun
Nicknames: Ogushun, Guri, Ogurin
Birthday: 12/26/82
Height: 6' (183 cm)
Weight: 154 lbs (70 kg)
Where do I know him from?
Hana Yori Dango (Hanazawa Rui), Hana Yori Dango 2 Returns (Hanazawa Rui), Gokusen (Uchiyama Haruhiko), Densha Otoko (Minamoto Munetaka), GTO (Yoshikawa Noboru)
Tell me some more!
He has been in commercials for J-Phone, as well as performing in stage plays and doing voiceovers for anime. In 2005, tabloid Friday Magazine discovered his relationship with Morning Musume member Yaguchi Mari. This is rumored to be the reason that Yaguchi suddenly left Morning Musume in April of that year. Another popular rumor is that Matusmoto Jun (Domyouji in Hana Yori Dango) insisted that the producers cast Oguri as Hanazawa Rui in Hana Yori Dango. The two have been close friends since working on Gokusen together and Matsumoto refused to play Domyouji if Oguri was not hired.
What is your opinion of him?
I've found Oguri to be a decent actor. While I haven't seen a majority of his work, the roles that I have seen him in tend to be loners that only speak when it is necessary. This leaves a sort of mysterious air about him, which tends to make him very attractive. I would like to see more of his work and I hope that he branches out into some more versatile roles.
