He did an excellent job! Vee Aug 07 2020 10:55 am Been here since H2, probably the closest he ever acted as “fangirl actor” ? adapted from a manga by my all-time favourite mangaka, Adachi Mitsuru. And it wasn’t an easy role if you’re familiar with Adachi-sensei’s manga style. Way too many punchlines, not enough conversation. For Takayuki-san to be able to play main lead in that dorama, it took a lot of facial expression to make it work. I loved every minute of that dorama, and every single close-up shot they took of Takayuki-san’s face. And that was the start of my stalking his other works.. Arara Apr 08 2019 2:56 am I wish he would keep doing acting works for a long time. I like his acting. Fujoshi Oct 03 2018 10:59 am He was soooo cute in Dele! Elizabeth Aug 22 2018 2:35 pm I LOVE YOU... Yamada Takayuki ❤️ Mermaid Feb 28 2018 1:19 am I Love You Tamao Serizawa ?❤️?? luis Oct 10 2017 6:42 am lol reunited with shun in gintama.

Christie Nov 17 2013 3:20 pm Love this guy!He's crazy hot and super sexy. mousam Sep 16 2013 9:30 pm i think he is more talented then genji .... asari Aug 19 2013 11:02 am I like him when watched Crow Zero, first time I saw as Serizawa I know I like him second movie I saw that he starred was Densha Otoko, that movie makes me love his acting then I watched another dramas and movies about him such as byakuyako, taiyou no uta, sekaichu, fireboys, 13 assassin, seaside motel, tegami, sono toki wa kare ni yoroshiku, gantz, arakawa under the bridge, yuusha yoshiiko, yamikin ujishima-kun, waterboys, even churasan hmm. you can say that Im crazy of his act,, :) nur khairiyah Aug 11 2013 11:38 pm takayuki yamada........good luck!!! GoldenAgeOfJapanCinema May 06 2013 4:08 am I watch many old classics samurai movies and toshiro mifune and tatsuya nakadai was the 2 gods of japanese cinema back then. Years and years have past I was looking for a modern japanese actor that can atleast match 1/2 of what mifune and nakadai gives, I find tadanobou asano and odagiri joe but I was looking a younger one so that I can follow his career. BUT its difficult since japanese cinema now is conquered by fangirl actors produced by this sh!t old guy johnny kitagawa( this guy destroyed japanese cinema IMO). Lucky that japan cinema is not dead since I find this actor who I think will be the next nakadai or mifune (I HOPE). After seeing 13 assassins and byakuyakou i believe he has a chance to get that intensity what toshiro mifune gives, and his acting range is somewhat same with nakadai with his movies densha otoko, crowzero, epic show yuusha yoshihiko, sekai no chusin(ironically yamada best role to date "matsumoto sakutaro" is the grandson of "Matsumoto Kentaro" PLAYED by nakadai) and recently milocrorze where he played 3 different roles. He's also chosen by newyork festival as young rising star of 2011 and hollywood reporters top 10 young actor to look out for. His fanbase abroad is bigger than more famous actor in japan becuase of his films with takeshi miike and for his character Serizawa. I have a feeling that he will go in the same path like actors toshiro mifune and tatsuya nakadai. therealthing Apr 30 2013 8:34 am 3 things why he is the best japanese actor. 1. He's in the saddest thing I ever watched ( sekai no chusin de ai wo sakebu ) 2. the coolest thing I ever seen ( crow zero 1 and 2 ) 3. the epically stupid thing I ever seen in my whole life ( yuusha yoshiko ) anjal Mar 17 2013 11:27 am hy takayuki i lik ur name serizawa in crows zero n i lik ur kick n fight . n ur the best in crows zero in part 1 u looking so handsome ashish Dec 20 2012 1:18 pm Tamao i like u in the whole movie as well as yur attitude on it..... i m dying for CROW ZERO 3, plz do somthing for it if its going to make. sheilahmd Oct 24 2012 7:20 am like.....

Those fan girl actors like yamapi kame nino jun matsumoto are no match with him i even think that he is better actor than takuya kimura, he's not on the level of those guys he is on the level of Watanabe ken possibly the next japanese actor to be recognize by hollywood. non sibi Apr 09 2011 4:01 pm I just finished watching drama 'Taiyo no uta'. I noticed that he has a great smile. Cool !! gloria Mar 30 2011 6:22 am hot guy, i' d like his style and cast in crow zero.. totally awesome ^^ gloria Mar 30 2011 6:20 am he looks so hot in crow 1&2, almost falling in love ^^... i' d like his cast and the style of course.. totally awesome... ^^ Chie Mar 24 2011 10:01 am I have watched several of his earlier dramas, like Lunch Queen and Taiyou no Uta, among others. Couldn't recognize him at all when I saw the movie Crows Zero II (first Crows flick for me). He has more appeal now that he has changed his image, and he gets to play roles different from what he was cast in before. Looking forward to seeing him in Gantz!

KB Jun 07 2010 7:08 am OMG! I didn't know he was in the movie "Crying out love, in the center of the world". I saw a little bit of the beginning but I never finished it. Now I will definately have to watch it just because he's in there. I fell in love with him in the movie Crows Zero. He's a bad-ass in that movie. His character in that movie was tough but yet also cute, kekeke! I love his motorcycle accident in the beginning of Crows Zero. It was hilarious. I love how Japanese actors make there cocky, mean or sad faces, especially his, LOL! He is a great actor. I'll have to look up his other movies/dramas to watch now. Did I mention he's hot?! He did great in the movie, Crows Zero. He showed leadership and friendship in that movie and for that it showed a different side of him being the leader of Suruzan High. The producer/director did a great job in showing that. The fighting scenes were awesome too. I hope there will be Crows Zero 3. Maybe in the next part they can try to smoke less, LOL! farzel89 May 04 2010 8:18 am love him..^_^ kaze May 03 2010 11:58 pm kyaa.....>.< kakkoii....hontou ni sugee...yamada takayuki san....totemo daisuki ^,^ Danswrang Mar 16 2010 12:52 pm He's the winger for crows.
