Kenichi Matsuyama, congratulations...I've watched about 30 doramas and japanese movies so far and you're the best japanese actor I have ever seen.

I never thought i would become so much obsessed with a Japanese actor; but i have to admit, Kenichi did such a great job as L that i was left awestruck. I also took a liking to Japanese language and am trying to catch up with the drama Zeni Geba.

A lot of people say that you should answer mails when you have the chance and I agree I suppose feedback is great but I also think if you have spare time you should rest and relax. It's always nice to after all =]
I think you are a great guy and I love the films you've starred in thank you for giving me hours of enjoyable entertainment.
I don't know whether you will ever read this but I wanted to write in case you do because you give the world your films and I wanted to thank you for that.

Hello Kenichi,
I'm probably one of the younest here saying this (I'm 13) and personally I'm shy but ever since I saw Death Note and heard of L like 3 yrs ago, I fell in love but after that I wanted to see the Death Note films (I'm from the U.S.) and I watched it and noticed how much you personally look like L it was really adorable and then I saw L change the world....... OMG I just cried when I saw you as the character walking out on the end but I cried even more when I saw your interview and you saying that you were fond of kids in some way and that L was like a part of you..... plus I just what you think your ideal woman is and personally even though I dont know much about you because the media from Japan is barely brought here I think that your a really sweet loving person and that your ideal woman will find you and fall in love with you with an honest heart like you said.And if the rumors are true your going out with someone I hope you have a wonderful relationship with her, shes super lucky to have ever met you:-) and I´m soo happy to know that your b-day is nine days before mine, I´m born on the 14th:-) And theres three things I want to say before I log out.
1)Please dont let fame come into your head and become a crazy person that parties constantly and forgets who he or she is.Be humble,sweet and taske good care of yourself
2)Look at this website and see your comments,you have alot of girls that like you and reply back if your not busy,these girls would be soo happy if you did
3) I know this is what every girl says and it kind of gets annoying but if your not busy can you please reply back, I would seriously faint if you did, wel I hope I can see you in Japan in two yrs when I visit for my 15th birthday:-D
well goodbye Kenichi and please stay your true sweet honest self lovely

Rittoru Says:
Jul 29 2010 7:40 pm
kenichi i know my message is just like every other fan but i take u as a romodle and as a great person. in ur movie death note the character L inspired me. because L didn't give up when he knew Light was kira. and that made me more comitted to my art. even though my pictures aren't great i'll keep trying.instead of anime i'm drawing ppl it's a big step up for me. and i hav picked u to draw hope u don't mind. but anyways even though i can't see u in real life just sendind u this note and looking at ur pictures is enough for me. but then again i would love not to draw u not from pics but you yourself in person. well any ways thats all i got to say.
hope your doing well and eating right :)

Hello I am a Brazilian fan and I admire his work, in addition to its beauty.
I watched death note and fell in love with you, then detroid metal city, but here in Brazil is difficult to translate things, then watch it in Japanese. As an example, do not laugh my love, the next is
Ultra Miracle Love Story. I watch all, because in my my opinion you are the best Asian actor.
Te amo muito beijos.
こんにちは私はブラジルのファンになっていると私は、その美しさに加えて、彼の作品に感心する。 Euのイワシモノ素イpensarモノ想ので、outra x女性土居田、のmas mesmo assim ...
私は死に注意を見て、君と恋に落ち、その後detroid金属の都市が、ここブラジルで物事を翻訳する場合、日本語でそれを見ることは難しい。例として、次の私の愛笑いをしないでください
ウルトラミラクルラブストーリー。私は、アジア最高の俳優が、私の私の意見のために監視します。

To be honest, I don't really like Kenichi Matsuyama. (I hope he's reading this) and I love Death Note, it's just that I don't like Kenichi BUT! -smirks-
I prefer L Lawliet, the fictional character at the Death Note than the neat freak Kenichi. (whoa.. I'm attracted to guys with weird, pale and messy do')
-hell yeah!- And the homo sapien that impersonates Kenichi... it's obviously not him because of course he will not say anything that will ruin his career.
Bad for you! Bye people!

hi all.
Im from south Africa and came across the death note movies while i was working in the states a few months ago...I wanted to get into anime, but then i stumbled across the live-action versions of Death Note...and oh my hat!!! i immediately fell in love with L...i just had to find out who this man is that plays L and from then on Kenichi Matsuyama is all i think about, I love his acting so much, but all ive seen so far of his works are DMC, NANA, 1 LITRE of TEARS, DONT LAUGH AT MY ROMANCE, ALL THE DEATH NOTES, AND SEXY VOICE AND ROBO, i need more stuff, i really hope that i would be able to get hold of his latest movies. Getting hold of his work here in South Africa is not easy seeing that there isnt a big demand for japanese movies!!!aaaah im getting Kenichi withdrawal here...i really need more stuff!!

Lol, you guys comment like he's actually going to read this.
And Koyuki is 32.
:OOOO
That's a...8 year age difference?
Ick. Hope that's a rumor, because that's like a twelve year old dating a twenty year old.

こんばんわ 松山さん。 私は、メロデイーです。 はじめまして、どぞよろしく。 ：）
DMC を みていました。 ほんとに とても、おもしろいですよ。
(forgive the poor grammar, I just started learning Japanese last Fall.)
Anyway, You are absolutely brilliant! I'm astonished by your skills as an actor. From shy death-pop singer Soichi to "L" the great detective. Brava, Brava good sir. Brava.
You are officially my favorite actor from Japan. Hands down.
Continue to do your best!

I'm a welsh girl from Wales in the UK....I'm really love Jappanese cultureand this is how a came to find out about Ken'ichi Matsuyama
A lot of people are saying "I love you" here...I wonder if he gets creeped out by that.
Any ways I can't hide the fact that I'm a huge fan of Matsuyama Ken'ichi....I really am. I'm like anyother fan I have dvds of him and photo's but seeing as I'm from the Uk its really hard to find anything which is Asian. But I have scowered the internet looking, watching and following his work.
I love the characters he plays...after I saw him in DN I was amazed to find out more and so I watched more movies including Nana, The taste of tea, Linda Linda Linda...I think my favorite character he has played must be Robo out of Sexy voice and robo...that really made me laugh because i think it showed how nieve the character was. Another character I enjoyed watching you as was Shin from Nana there is one particular scene which remember where the group was on about Nana annd Ren and Shin says a little comment that he already knows and that really made me giggle. My favorite film with him in is Shindo I love the story to it.
Good luck with the future. Cant wait to see him in more movies.

Hello I am just a Texas girl from America. I have seen most of the movies that you have been in even though it is very hard to find foreign films here...Yes I know I sound like another fan girl...I just want to say is, take it eazy I know it must be hard on you, but take some time to your self or with someone...You look tierd and worn out... Just don't let the pressure of being a star beat you down. I wish you luck and happiness plus all your dreams to come true. Good luck in your next movie. ~*Texas Girl*~P.S. happy late birthday ^_^;

Oh, it's too bad that he doesn't have a girlfriend...I had hoped he had someone to be with especially now that Valentine's Day is around the corner. I don't want him to be lonely =(

Annie Says:
Feb 03 2009 10:51 am
Well in "L change the world" Kenichi did speak English so it's really strange that he don't know English at all...It seems confusing to me...I guess he had to work very hard to pronounce a word if he didn't know anything about it. So admire him :)!
Rumi Says:
Jan 27 2009 7:00 pm

Rumi, 5 minutes into this interview on youtube from the Detroit Metal City screening at TIFF he says (though his translator) that he can't speak English.

hi..kenichi. my name cindy (Jakarta, Indonesia). I've seen your acting in Death Note as L, and i admire your acting is almost 100 % good same with L in Manga series.. Weel done!!!! Ban zai !!!! ^0^
Looking forward for act in Kamui gaiden and i hope it will release in Indonesia too, coz there not many of your movies or japan movies or manga release in Indonesia..Im sure many people will love it..
I hope in future Indonesia - Japan will have same vision and built good relationship in spreading culture especially for movie and entertainment.. :D
