Takashi Kashiwabara: Which is your favorite character?



Takashi Kashiwabara has been working in the Japanese entertainment industry for many years. There were quite a number of memorable role which he brought to life in the Jdorama. Which is your favorite character and why? 

 

1) Movie: Love Letter 

Role: Itsuki Fujii 

Character: Shy, introvert, stubborn 

Heart breaking scene: Itsuki Fujii drew the picture of female Itsuki Fujii at the library. In the end, she found out about it. 

Favourite scene: Itsuki Fujii read a book near the window curtain.

Introduction: Do you remember Kassy debut movie Love Letter? The cute and charming boy that was secretly in love with the female protagonist? I admitted that I cried when I first watched the movie. It was such a touching story about first crush and the feeling of regret. Kassy looked so dashingly handsome and beautiful at the same time. I was astonished by his well defined features and attractive charisma. 

 

2) Drama: Hakusen Nagashi White Line

Role: Hasebe Yusuke

Character: introvert, studious, smart, enjoy photography 

Heart breaking scene: He is a pitiful second lead in the drama. It feel sad that he is always rejected by the female lead. 

Favorite scene: I feel my heart beating fast when he almost kissed Sakai Miki!

Introduction: This drama series was on air for a few years due to its popularity. This is the first time I rooted for a second lead to get together with the girl. However, I am still satisfied with the ending of the story. 
 


3) Drama: Itazura Na Kiss 

Role: Irie Naoki

Character: Cool and aloof appearance, with a hidden warm heart. Mean and sarcastic to Kotoko, but has a soft spot for her. Shy, playful and showed intolerance towards Kotoko, but he will secretly help her in times of needs. 

Heart breaking scene: The scene where Irie Naoki  deserted Kotoko and attended the Christmas Party with Reiko. I am a little unhappy about the unexplained relationship with the second female lead Reiko. I know she tried means and ways to manipulated Naoki Irie but never once capture his heart. There should be a scene whereby Naoki Irie reject her love formally. 

Favourite scene: There are simply too many favourite scene. I love the part where Naoki Irie dashed out of his house to chase after Kotoko.  

Introduction: This is the drama that propelled Kashiwabara Takashi to stardom. He became the hottest issue in Asia at that time. It is just a pity that there is no sequel to this popular drama. 
 


4) Drama: Shota No Sushi 
 
Role: Sekiguchi Shota

Character: Gullible, Kind, innocent, cute, talented, hardworking, Cheerful

Character: Humble, Down to earth

Heart breaking scene: Almost none since it was a comedy romance drama. 

Favourite scene: Whenever Kumiko caused trouble, he will help to resolve the matter.

Introduction: Takashi Kashiwabara is again "tortured" by the female lead. I think that is just his fate in drama. 


 

6) Drama: Itsumo Futari de (Always the two of us)

Role: Okuda Naoyuki

Character: cheeky, playful, cheerful, humorous, fun

Heart breaking scene: Episode 3 onwards when Kassy left the cast due to illness.

8) Drama: Honey and Clover

Character: Intelligent, matured, charming 

Heart breaking scene: When he did not get together with the woman that he love. I feel pitiful for him every time he pretended to be alright when he is hurt.

Favourite scene: Gotoda playing piano and wearing a suit. Oh gosh! Everytime he appears onscreen, my heart goes to him.

 
Introduction: Gotoda is never a true villain to begin with. I don't detest him but feel sorry for him instead. Takashi Kashiwabara tried to project a bad boy image. He seldom act as villain and this is the first time he act as a not so evil villain.

 

10) Drama: The happy plan

Role: Zhi Yan

Character: Anti-social, introvert, sophisticated 

Heart breaking scene: Zhi Yan sad childhood.

Favourite scene: When Takashi read the book with his leg crossed. Someone use the fan to blow the wind on him now!
