Lalab Apr 26 2018 10:49 pm He got married.. I didn't even know he had a girlfriend/fiance. T_T best wishes on your wedding, Shota-kun. All the love ❤

Kris Feb 04 2018 3:53 am Holy mackerel I was watching Nagareboshi and I kept thinking I've seen this guy somewhere! Hana Yori Dango! Damn.

Mandy Dec 20 2017 11:45 am I was thoroughly enjoying the Japanese dorama Liar Game after a year spent on K dramas. Then it dawned on me that this very talented actor also looked like a live version of my favourite otome-game characters!

Love Dec 14 2017 10:42 pm I regret not paying attention to him when I watched Hana Yori Dango. :'( I was biased of course, for the 2 lead males - Jun and Shun. But my oh my, Shota is such a gem, too! :'( I saw him in Love Shuffle and he's just so good and handsome, and hot!!! Kyaaaaah!!!! I downloaded lots of his movies and dramas now. Gonna binge watch him!! teeheehee :'''''''> <3 <3 <3

Roseli Nov 26 2017 8:27 pm I knew him just know, regret a bit since I ocassionally watch doramas and j -movies for a decade ... But he is doing very insteresting stuff , plus a handsome guy : 3

Tania Sep 13 2017 3:57 pm Honestly, You are a great actor! I hope you are doing well and living your life to the fullest. It was you and the rest of F4 that made me fall in love with Japan even more even though it was just a story.

Your personalities are shown little by little through the roles you have played. Remember to keep your head and Love in your heart!

Domo Arigatou Gozaimasu for your smile, hard work and being in the world.

Kkikan Aug 05 2016 7:02 am Shota Matsuda, I don't care what the critics say. All I care about is that you nail all your roles. You are very good at acting. I love you...r acting. You are really awesome in the series of Hana Yori Dango and of Liar Game. I am really looking forward to more of your endeavors and to watching all of the dramas you starred in. Thank you for the great character portrayal. You brought those characters to life.

mia Jan 11 2016 8:34 pm Seriously.... When are you going to film a drama again Shota? Waiting him in small screen again.... I hope it's very soon...

CWA Jan 08 2016 4:37 pm He was quite mindblowing in Liar Game and Hana Yori Dango, now I'm seeing him again in Love Shuffle. Quite excited, he looks awesome with the spiky hair^^

Kamryn Mar 24 2015 10:41 am u know he was suppose to be Levi in the 2015 film Attack on Titan . I was really excited to see him in it but they replaced him with an entirely new character that i could care less about ! . *crying*

anne Dec 09 2014 2:44 am Shota your so hot in the liar game. hope you grow your hair. your hotter when your hair are long.

serene Nov 19 2014 9:30 am Shota Matsuda is such a talented actor! He's so charming in Liar Game and he's got me swooning all over him! IMO, he plays the role in the best way possible. Nobody can beat that. Hope there's a new series of liar game simply because i just can't get enough of him!

Tao Sep 21 2014 1:56 pm I really admire Shota Matsuda on Liar Game. I want to see him more on movies and dramas. If its true that he'll going to be levi then I am supporting you. I also love attack on titan. :)

ani May 26 2014 9:24 am He's really good as an actor but I REALLY don't think that the role of Levi in Attack on titan is for him.... T-T

SuperShadow96 Dec 14 2013 7:40 am Akiyama... nope... Matsuda is one of my cutest Japanese actors..................... YOU ROCKS IN LIAR GAME AND UNDERCOVER AGENT LIZARD!!!!! XD!

nadia Oct 23 2012 8:24 am I hope there would be another liar game. I want my Nao-Akiyama team back. I want to have a progress between the two of them.

Mike Apr 25 2012 9:44 am I think playing at comedy drama really suit him than mystery drama. I like his smile and goofy acting at Meitantei no Okite

haruka Apr 04 2012 6:56 am i love shota matsuda ..

xt Aug 02 2011 9:16 am i like him. he knows his craft. hope he continues to hone it.

dia Jul 08 2011 11:35 pm he's a really good actor but i just realize hes really underrated o__O he's also a good looking dude too so i don't know why he's not that popular. but loved him in liar game and hana yori dango.

sabbie Jul 06 2011 11:13 am Ah... Toda's knight in shining armor in Liar Game. He's a very good actor (not to mention, very handsome). Loved every second of Liar Game because of this man. I hope he gets to be paired again with Toda Erika in yet another mind boggling series because I think they're just too perfect for each other. (fangirl mode to the nth power!) :D

chu mi Jun 30 2011 2:48 am really love him in hana yori dango especially when he is in traditional japanese attire, dunno what's its called, he looks sooo manly, then fall in love with him again and again in Liar Game. Shota kun your acting skills is impressive. all the best for you!
