I don't find him that good looking, it was all because of Hana Yori Dango that he kinda grew on me, otherwise, I think he is kinda buggy [his eyes]...

But overall, his performance is okay, nothing bad...

He was so good in Gokusen 1, I like how he host his shows.

I have seen him in Gokusen and also in Hanayori Dango. He is a good actor. I think he has another series which I forgot the name but he was a doctor in that series I think. Anyway they look together with Makiyo in Hanayori Dango. In Gokusen he showed a great talent in acting as well.

i like him in hana yori dango, his that arrogant attitude is so appealing
i'd say he's a pretty good actor

Considering his age, he's a very good and diverse actor. I'm glad he hasn't been type-casted at all; It opens up a lot of doors for him.

I love him..I am glad he actually takes on other roles not just roles that he already been played before..this shows that he has guts to take on other roles and he manage to pulled it off pretty well in every role. though I love all the dramas he was in..He did a really good job..he and mao inoue make a cute couple too.
