I’ve recently discovered a Japanese actor I like when I was never really a fan of any Japanese actors nor did I know of them . His name is sakaguchi kentaro , what do you guys think of him and of j actors as a whole? I’m new to jdramas so it would be nice if I could get some insight from those of you who already know.

Personally, she's a great actress, loved the pocky commercials from 2009, she was 16 at the time. Now she's 31 :D

The only thing I could find was that poster though lmao

idk the ones you named but I know a fair amount of johnny's actors and the story of this company never fails to disgust me. I have close to no doubt that anyone acting in well promoted works did go through casting couches and as they become veterans in the industry they look like free mason members to me (that doesn't make sense but maybe it's the reality so i'm just throwing it there)

Obviously being in the dead pool movie is a dead giveaway but I find the first poster interesting, maybe some symbolism there?

Btw I just realised you said “anyone” in “promoted works” do you think that includes j male actors? Even the one I mentioned first if you know of him? Sakaguchi kentaro , I just discovered him a short while ago so I don’t know much about him but I liked him from the get go :)

Oh wow thanks for helping me discover something new, with no prior knowledge about Japanese agencies unlike Korean ones, this was a shocker? Kind of :D

This case is insane. It has become widely spoken about only since the recent years and especially last year if i'm not mistaken. More victims came forward and testified of their tragic experiences with him, obviously after the old man's death (2019). Some of the agency's old artists spoke about it in 80s or the 90s but apparently johnny can control every japanese media given his connections (yakuza I heard) so even the police turns a blind eye on him and his crimes. His sister also worked at the company and is apparently guilty of abusing boys too.

Imo it does include everyone. I haven't watched any works of sakaguchi kentaro and idk how famous he is but I believe there are strict conditions on who the media gives exposure to and it's not only talent sadly. But I really don't know if there are any exceptions, that's something I wanna know too tbh.
