Dark Max Aug 12 2013 8:46 am One of the best actor currently on Japanese TV. I'm looking forward to all his future works!

Molybdenum Studios Jul 16 2013 3:51 am I actually view him as very handsome, a serious charmer and lastly, an excellent thespian who deserves more projects and recognition, because he could be a serious and a funny guy at the same time, and whatever roles he portrays, he is really darn good at it, how did he retained that sarcastic face despite being a serious guy in Legal High.

Nami in NY Feb 06 2013 10:15 am 今日は....お元気ですか？ Hello from New York! You're a very talented actor, very unique style. You look like a a smart and funny person. Love all your work! ----------/--------<@

MarinaMarina Feb 05 2013 7:15 am Masato Sakai is the best Japanese actor who I know. I just started to watch his serial "Atsuhime" and I'm amazed. As a European, it's interesting for me to see those beautiful clothes, buildings, customs connecting to the historical Japan. Masato's role in the film is also exciting. I love the conversations between him and the princess. I'm looking forward to seeing more and more from his works.
