JKMP Apr 03 2020 4:11 am Your Weird Cook Vibes Always Takes My Breath Away Big Time!!! ???You've already taken me by storm when I've accidentally watch Tokyo Ghoul. And not really expecting that you'll leave me amaze w/ smokey's acting, So mysterious and cool with the hair and the army green outfits plus the mind blowing stunts. And that's when I've started fan girling on you???. Never expect you'd be wedded ?? but I'm glad it's w/ Queen Asami of Nodame Cantabile. Still I felt betrayed haha. Keep being Versatile and cool. Ganbatte!!!

Masa-kun Nov 28 2019 6:13 am I love masataka

Great actors ^_^

Atika Oct 17 2019 10:20 am Have a happy married life, Masa-kun Can't believe you're already married. As a fan I feel happy for you and also a little broken heart >_<

Iraklis Sep 09 2019 8:01 am My Favourite Actor

Hotelier Jul 12 2019 5:40 am First know him from N no tameni. His acting skill keep improving. I really like his character in Radiation House. I think he carry his character really well, not surprising he keep getting new roles. Ganbatte ne Kubota san.

xcxcweee Jun 11 2019 8:07 am I have to say I'm really surprised by the long list of his acting works, really really surprised. I admire his diligent, when he has already got so much talent.

high & low for mugen May 15 2019 11:28 am smokey come back T_T

Atika Kubota Apr 23 2019 11:36 pm I just want to say I love your acting skill and your pesonality. Never stop to surprise me, Ok. Can't wait to watch Tokyo Ghoul S

Long time low key fan Mar 24 2019 8:51 am I've liked him since Ketai Sosakan 7, his acting impressed me then. I've always been wishing for so long that he has more main roles in the future, and he did! I'm just really proud and happy for him. His acting is always on point, whatever kinds of characters he portray. He can act as dark characters, and even more so as comical ones which I really enjoy seeing him in. He's so versatile and his roles always catch my attention no matter how small.

I remember a few years back I read a comment from a Japanese netizen in an article about his marriage, saying in a rude manner how they don't know who he is and that no one cares about him. So to watch him come this far, to have more people recognise his potential and giving him opportunities to show his talent, makes me happy. He might still be a little underrated, but to me, he'll always be one of my childhood favourites.

Lisbeth Aug 12 2018 3:18 am I fall in love with his acting. He's really talented, and I'm sure that he gains popularity because of his hardwork. So, for me he is the number one actor in Japan. I hope he will be given much more opportunities to develop his acting skill and voice acting skill as well. Oh..., and he did a great job in portraying Smoky >< (!!!) Hope that his newest drama, My Moochy Boyfriend will get good responses from many people. Someday, I'd like to see him in romance drama or movie (but not as a moochy man ×D).

John Aug 10 2018 8:14 am I wish there was a toradora live action because he fits ryuuji perfectly and I want to see if he can portray such a normal character not criticizing his roles they fit him perfectly too but him as ryuuji is just meant to be.

Masa-kun's fan Jul 05 2018 1:58 am I still can't move on from Masataka Kubota's Light. I like many of his roles, but I still love his Light the most. Can't believe he is going to have romcom ^^ And going to be in Gintama 2 too. (I still hope for TG 2 though)

Ronalie Lu Jun 07 2018 6:03 am I love him so much.... One of my favorite actors in Japan!!!

Hidden.xx Apr 09 2018 4:44 am Kubota has acted in many movies and dramas even though he's not the lead character, and that's impressive. But Kento acted as the lead character in less dramas and movies. And that's why I prefer Kubota as my fav.

koharu Jan 07 2018 2:49 am he seems to always take on darker roles and he portrays them perfectly...but I would love to seem play in a rom com and see a different side of his acting because he seems like such a well rounded actor

Go go Kubota -san Oct 02 2017 10:05 pm Oh my... am I too obssessed with him now? I can't help but watch all of his works from the past into the newest now. Wow such a season actor. Sugoi..... whether he act as a young cute teenager or spoiled teenager, the bad and multilayer personality light yagami or funny and easygoing arisugawa, the kindness and understanding also romantic hikaru-kun vs the kindness and understanding also romantic Naruse-kun. He's 대박 ^_^ I imagine he must be good in acting like an arrogant and smart scientist or the handsome cold personality with less expression like 'sundere' type. More to come ... can't wait to see ur new project Kubota -san ^_^

Random dude Sep 26 2017 11:15 am He performed incredibly well in both the Death Note tv Drama and in Fugative Boys. 10/10 actor

NPN - PH Sep 11 2017 9:52 am I just watched the live action of Tokyo Ghoul and I'm so impressed!! ?? he caught me offguard. His acting is on point! He owned the character soooo much!!! I am now a fan!! ???? tokyo Ghoul is super worth it. I didn't expect that much given the genre of the movie but they did justice. Gooosh i am stunned. ???

KUBOTA NEW FAN - LOVE U Sep 10 2017 6:13 pm I hope he got an international project soon. Because he is one of the best actor so far. he can do multiple personalities, so far he did many differents characters. So yup ... whether in romance, action, thriller, mystery, psychology drama, etc, because of his wide range of abilities to portray these. I would like to say he is so talented actor who can do any kinds of characters so far. I agree with some comments here, I want him in romance drama (maybe a lot of crying scenes with those puppy eyes), bec his eyes is so beautiful when he did a crying scene (in DN, he cries so beautifully. O.M.G even his crying scene is so beautiful). I really want to watch his other drama with romance as the theme center (it would be good), in action also (maybe like one of "healer" kind of thing he...he...he...). Really I can see many GOOD PROJECT 4 him in the future and I'm sure he will "ACE" whateva characters he got to portray next time. U ARE SO...SO TALENTED ACTOR Kubota-Kun ;-)

Zilex (kaneki~) ? Sep 07 2017 6:35 am Him and kento are my fav actors wahhh feels T_T

Zilex (kaneki~) ? Sep 07 2017 6:32 am Wahhh I can't! At first I love masataka Kubota at death note and now he's going to play my fav anime character kaneki! My one-eyed king ~ WAHH I'm ready to spend money for u ?

The Feels, I can't- Jul 18 2017 3:12 pm First he played the main character Light and now another main character Ken

I CANT TT-TT

Carol (meoow) Apr 26 2017 7:47 pm I'm so excited to watch The Last Cop. I saw the trailer ,I think it'd be pretty much exciting and funny. I'll be looking forward to it and I hope it would be release here in the Philippines too. Love lots Masa-kun. :*

Carol (meoow) Apr 25 2017 8:05 pm It's the first time that I watched a Japanese drama series and this Death Note really caught my attention since I'm very much into horror/crime/thriller. What caught my attention the most is Light Yagami. ^_^ His acting is extremely versatile and he got the look. I was so carried that I finished this 11 episode-drama in just one night. The next day, I found myself searching for the real name of this actor. Now, Kubota san I'll be watching more of your work. Love lots. --Meoow P.S. I've got a serious crush on you. :*

fg Apr 24 2017 6:01 am I watched him in death note, man, he looks as crazy as f**k in there! So twisted and ugly that I can't side with him or relate to him, not even in the first episodes, I thought "why don't I feel like siding with this guy, after all, he's eliminating trash from this world, so he should be a hero, but why don't I like him?"

Ashy? Apr 23 2017 7:16 pm I love you?????? even you don't know me I always admire you??????

chunu Apr 13 2017 10:30 pm he is really good one ....... ...... he plays the movie with good story .... so i like him his acting is daebak too

KANEKI Apr 09 2017 8:24 am i hope he portrays kaneki ken well huhu tokyo ghoul is one of my favorite animes ever

Juni Feb 26 2017 3:47 am I was watching death note because of him after N no tame ni Then he introduced me to kento yamazaki and now both of them are my favorite actors I love him both , I can't wait to see him act together again.

Kubota san ❤❤❤❤❤❤

제훈이 Dec 12 2016 9:08 am I like you since Death Note and I think I haven't see you in romance drama or movie. I hope once you will try it! I fully support you!

Miyaka08 Nov 30 2016 3:57 am I wish to see him try out a Romantic-Comedy film or series... now I wonder who will be a perfect partner for him...

Death Note Fanatic Nov 17 2016 1:37 pm Masataka played an amazing Light Yagami in Death Note... Like seriously, wow. He definitely deserved the best actor award he got for his performance in it.

Soo Hyun Nov 17 2016 12:42 pm I've been seeing a lot of you lately.. SInce I am binge watching jap movies and series.. of random recommendation.. I have been seeing you way too often.. and wow, I must say your acting is really great!

zelle Nov 09 2016 3:55 am At first when I saw that he will play as Kaneki in Tokyo Ghoul, my reaction was like... WHAAATT??? NO WAYYY!!!! he dont look like kaneki at all!! not a bit! SInce he looks kinda mature and kaneki give of that cute young good boy aura. SO initially i though he wont fit for the character. But after watching Death note 2015 and how he played out as Light which had anxiety issues.. well i changed my mind. His internal struggle portrayal will be definitely good and this will be like a main point for acting as kaneki since kaneki is also always undergoing mental struggles and internal conflict. I hope he really does well.

Mirtika Oct 27 2016 10:14 pm Masataka Kubota as Ken Kaneki. Wow, I think he's gonna be great. He has that face that can transmit anguish quietly, steadily. And Kaneki sure is anguished.

I can't wait.

Menell Oct 24 2016 9:19 pm Kubota san... I can't wait for your acting in tokyo ghoul...

KamieJin Oct 08 2016 9:31 am I love him ♥♥♥♥ Kubota-san in Death note is the best !

Elsa gabriel from philippines Oct 03 2016 8:53 am I was stalking kento yamazaki until i watch the drama death note and there i saw Masataka and hes so damn hot and good actor ..thats the start of me being a fan of Masataka ..ive watched mars and now high and low..il watch all your shows i promise

Sunny Sep 19 2016 8:11 pm I love him .He is so adorable!

Tokki Aug 15 2016 5:24 am TOTALLY fell in love with him after watching High & Low!!! <3 !!!

Reya Aug 14 2016 10:14 pm I find him refreshing, genuine, and down to earth! His versatility as an actor will surely take him places. I love how he can take on a variety of roles and play them well, from humorous and animated characters to the quiet and pensive ones. Keep up the great work, Masakun.

Elisa R Aug 06 2016 6:36 am I really loved his acting in N no tameni and in the liar and his lover, so I can't wait to see him as Ken Kaneki, since TG is my fav manga. Masataka kubota is truly a rising star and is indeed being cast more and more, that's awesome :). He'll be very known soon !

Kawaiine Jul 28 2016 7:38 pm Kubota is a totally rising star :) I want to see him every drama and movie >_<

Nonette Jun 29 2016 2:55 pm Kubota is a rising star now. He has proved that acting skill is the most important thing in drama and movie.

RandomPerson Jun 29 2016 2:59 am his smile tho hes so Perfect

Atikah14DC Jun 28 2016 6:13 am You're seriously awesome Kubota-kun. The more I knew about you, the more I love you. I'm glad you get cast as Kaneki Ken, even if I want you in romance. Well, I can just watch N no Tameni or Summer Nude again (his chemistry with Toda Erika is so good there). I believe you'll bring Kaneki Ken to live. I think Kubota isn't unfamiliar to portray innocent and badass Kaneki. I love his new hairstyle, he's so hot and handsome.

frazel07 Jun 12 2016 8:36 am I love him so much, his acting is superb!!! >.< i wish he will star in romance genre more...kyaaaaa he is so handsome omg, i totally fell for him so hard .<

mei May 26 2016 8:06 pm i watch a lot of masataka-san drama because of the lead but end up watching a lot of masataka-san work. i watch masataka-san on summer nude, death note, n no tameni, Kano Uso, legal high, Mars, Nazotaki, Limit. even in some drama you are not a lead drama, but your work always give a deep impression. i will wait for your next drama. i hope to see you in a romance drama where your role end up happy.

Thana Apr 22 2016 8:02 pm I first knew him from ST and loved his character in there. However, I stopped watching any Japanese drama after this. Until this year, until Criminologist Himura and Mystery Writer Arisugawa, and I fell in love with his character and him as an actor. At first, I thought he is just a very cute guy, but then I watched DN and was amazed by his acting skills. Also, Smoky in High & Low is badass. He perfectly delivered all the characters he has played. Whether it is a psychopath, an adorable author with a cute Kansai accent, kickass gang leader, or a gentle boy with GID( I have spent the last month on watching everything he was in, at least the ones I find). I'm going to Japan this summer, and I hope I could watch the H&L movie, just can't have enough Smoky in my life.

nyan Apr 21 2016 1:17 am His acting in Death Note and Mars proved that he's good at playing "psychotic" roles. The way he smiles give me chills xD

Lucy Apr 13 2016 5:16 pm I watched his performances in Algernon ni Hanataba wo, Death Note, and Himura Hideo no Suiri. I'd thought he was a good actor who looked like a hobo and was good at portraying laid-back characters until I watched Death Note. He was impressive, showing gradation of Light's emotions, and transition of his character. I hope he will receive more major work, and challenging roles.

14DC Apr 04 2016 8:06 pm I have checked his other work, and I love him in ST every minutes he is in, just hope he speaks more because I really love his voice, especially his deep voice as KIRA like in the last episode of DN drama series. Makes me feel goosebumps, more than his anime counterpart. In The Liar and His lover, his acting is really good even if he is just in some scenes. And from the first sight I can tell his character is distance from other band members. Just wonder if he really can play bass. (and one more I want to hear his voice because he actually can sing) N no Tame Ni is really the best drama. I fall in love once more with him. I just have to have this drama.... And just because I like his voice, I want to buy Mars so I can hear him read his diary psycopath in episode 9 and 10. He really deserves more main role than that. Hopefully he will have more role as the lead, then I will buy that so I can really support him.

And I just realize he has star in at least 10 movies Gachiban series, why aren't them listed? He can play badass character and even got award. Really love how in shape his body is...

14DC Mar 15 2016 3:38 am I really love him ^_^ I have just known him from Death Note, and he really nailed his role as Light. For me, he is the perfect Light alongside MatsuKen'ichi as the perfect L. And agree with asra, his gank RudeBoys are the coolest. He is the one reason I watch High & Low.

KairaRuvialle Feb 17 2016 2:56 am He is so cooooool when he played as Yagami Light in Death Note. Wish that in 2016, the Death Note Movie will be released!

asra Dec 08 2015 4:27 pm He currently played in High & Low as the leader of Rudeboys. He and his gank are the coolest one between another.

waiwai Nov 28 2015 12:38 am love him in ST! <3

Vvv Nov 25 2015 9:00 am I don't find him attractive. Especially as Light. Many times I wanted to punch my monitor seeing his face

Just Passing By Sep 09 2015 4:10 am Best Light! Better than the movie version. I hope he gets more MC roles.

MickManIV Aug 27 2015 5:53 am Brilliant as Light Yagami in death note!! deserves so much more recognition because of the fan base behind death note and the COMPLETLY original idea of the series.

isla Mar 03 2015 7:09 pm @rin: N no Tame Ni

LilyWhite Jan 13 2015 5:27 am @rin: Best Supporting Actor Award at the 27th Takasaki Film Festival for Fugainai Boku wa Sora wo Mita (2012) :D he also got Rookie of the Year at the 34th Yokohama Film Festival for his role in that movie.

rin Dec 24 2014 5:09 am What is the drama or movies Kubota being the best....?

holly Jan 06 2014 11:24 pm His kiss with Toda Erika in Summer nude was the best kissing scene ever in JP dramas!

ciline fernandez May 29 2013 2:54 am handsome (^_~) keep it up!!!

Hayley Mar 14 2013 3:54 pm He is cute and fit In some dramas haha
