Moe Mar 30 2018 3:14 am Arata is bae...and adorable

He does such a variety of characters and always delivers. If you like him, I suggest that you check out his movies. I personally like Unnatural, but still trying to watch more movies of his.

He also did a travel documentary with NHK called the Great Asian Highways traveling to countries like Iran, Turkey and central asia. You can check that out on youtube, and you get to see his genuine personality as he travels and takes pictures.

Kyle Mar 02 2016 3:52 pm Liked his performance in Rich man, Poor woman. I thought he was a more sympathetic character than Shun Oguri's, who had a autistic asshole character. Arata's character was a dick too, but Shun's got what was coming to him.

To Kim: It's a pet peeve of mine when people act like there is a real physical difference between Koreans, Chinese, and Japanese (besides style and culture). Your comment is like saying "He looks more Swedish than Finnish to me." "He looks more Welsh than Irish to me."

Kim Oct 04 2013 5:29 pm He looks more like Korean than Japanese to me.

Lilyna Sep 29 2013 2:56 pm Love his acting in Mitsu no Aji and rich man, poor woman. :-)

FB May 13 2013 8:10 am I like him! I saw him for the first time in Rich Man, Poor Woman and then Mitsu no aji. I'm currently watching Chase. Can't wait to see more! :) :) :) He's great, and sooo good-looking! :)

tberry Dec 22 2012 6:31 am i love him!!!

nie Aug 19 2011 5:01 pm He was great (& good-looking) in After Life. :D

tokyojesusfist Mar 04 2010 8:23 am Blood types are to the Japanese what astrological signs are to Westerners.

.*.*.*. Jan 13 2010 9:42 pm I've only seen him in "After Life", but he did an amazing performance. It also helps that he's really good-looking. Just one question though, how did they figure out his blood type? I think that's a little too much information.

Kaisei May 06 2009 10:37 pm Terrific actor, loved every performance of him.

ichaichaparadise Feb 05 2009 3:55 pm he's such a GREAT actor.. been watched over him and his movies for the past 3 years..
