Comments

??? Mar 05 2022 9:45 pm i wish he starred in a lot of films / shows when he was younger in the 00’s, he aged badly but i’d still marry him if i could /hj ?

- and yea im aware he’s married to his 2nd wife with a baby on the way i heard !!

Neko Feb 11 2020 9:25 am Ryuhei is one of a kind: a subtle actor who's at his best when dealing with psychologically complex, disturbed characters, yet also endearingly charming when playing the nerd. Notoriously reserved and introverted but so incredibly cool...

who? Nov 28 2019 6:43 am cant act. totally nepotism. boo!

RyuHanako Jul 02 2018 7:15 pm I fell in love with him after watching him in "Eigyo bucho Kira Natsuko". Right when I first saw him I was strongly impressed by his eyes! The sharp- shaped eyes with a cold eyesight. However, at first I didn't really like him, instead I was afraid of him! Really ? Maybe because of his cold eyes ? After that his acting pursued me so much and made me to fall in love. I think his acting style is very unique, it's totally different to other actors! Gentle, calm, indifferent but also very careful, thoughtful, introvert... are what I think about him and his characters he played!

ryuu Feb 15 2018 8:10 am I love him. <3

Reya Dec 28 2016 2:39 am Any recommendations of more 'emotional' movies with him? He plays the serious, stoic role very well, but I guess I want to check out more of his work since I've continuously seen people rave about him. I think he was great in Mahoro Eki Mae Bangaichi.

kaniko Nov 20 2016 8:36 am @eat his private life is private, and that's normal for Japanese actor. Fyi: he married Lina Ohta, a model/actress/singer. there was a pic on the internet when he walk with his wife, his mom and his daughter. but you can only see his daughter's leg. (sorry for my bad english)

Eat Oct 09 2016 9:38 am Anyone knew anything about his private life? About his wife and daughter. Why there was not any family photo in any media? Why it seem to be so secret and privacy? or this is normal for Japanese actor.

jejejeh Oct 18 2015 12:41 pm I love him in amachan (mizuguchi-san) and mahoro ekimae bangaichi (gyoten), etc. I really really really really love him. He's a good actor. I hope he will follow rinko kikuchi and ken watanabe (hollywood). You can do it, Ryuhei-sama!!! Ganbare ;)

RyuAngel May 04 2015 8:50 am He is just amazing *_*. Beautiful, talented full of everything that a good actor need. I have seen some of this movies (a.e. nightmare detective 1&2, Mahoro Ekimae Tada Benriken, Mahoro Ekimae Kyousoukyoku ) , his series and so on. just love him. waiting for his upcomming movies.

Love you Ryuhei (I wish u were unmarried ;))

RyuShota Apr 25 2014 12:55 pm @FeKimi: I am quite disappointed when knowing that he just got a very few line :( but i am glad i read your comment ∑(´▽｀ﾉ)ﾉ! Super excited to hear his Japlish English hahaha I guess its absolutely cute, right?! I am fan-girling too with you here (*≧艸≦) so much love for Ryuhei-san!

FeKimi Apr 21 2014 7:33 pm I watched The Raid 2!! (you know, the Indonesian movie that every one was talking about) And, even though he only got a few scene, he has to speak in English!! And, his English is so Japlish, but in a good way! I almost scream in every scene he was in!! Oh my God, I think I'm fan-girling here!! \^o^/

Yura Feb 07 2014 2:14 am Kyaa!! I loved him in Blue Spring! <3 Okay, well... You know, he's... cute and all

coughs*

Rei Nov 29 2013 5:39 pm He was starring in Amachan!!! another reason to check the award winning drama out :)

Hope the hundred something episodes won't put me off

Rei Nov 29 2013 5:37 pm I always though his face is really resemble the classical japanese samurai painting, with cat eyes and thin curling upward mouth :p (well, when he's without beard though)

Ni Mar 28 2013 1:46 pm I came back and forth here just to see what's new from Ryuhei but forgot to comment :p

i love Ryuhei so much...he is one of my fav actor, his acting is great not to mention gonna play in The Raid 2, wish i can see Ryuhei while shooting here ^^ all the best Ryuhei, Ganbatte (* 3 *)

lontong.stroong Mar 26 2013 3:01 am All hail Gyoten!!!!

FeKimi Feb 24 2013 6:19 pm He's going to star at Indonesian movie, "The Raid 2"!! That means there's a big chance he will come to Indonesia!! My fan girl mode is ON!!! *squeeeee..!*

Lil'Tokyo Dec 16 2012 8:01 am Loved him in Blue Spring! <3 Even thought I didn't really understand the movie/meaning behind it.... BTW his eyes got something i dunno what it is but i really like it!

non sibi Nov 10 2012 6:30 pm and his wife is Rina Ohta.

Yumi Jun 25 2011 11:14 am Ok...I love him! hahaa

FeKimi Oct 31 2010 10:08 pm He's definitely a great actor with a strong performance!! My favorite film of his is "Blue Spring" and also his 2 movies "Rampo Jigoku" and "Nightmare Detective2" are become The 50 Best Asian Horror Movies in This Century... Great Job, Matsuda-sama!! Can't wait for your future movies!!

Sasori Sep 18 2010 1:39 pm Exelent actor and a total hottie. Eather I've gone blind or they didn't add Kareoke Terror in the list of movies that he is in. o.o

Hummy Jun 01 2010 3:46 am I first saw him in Blue Spring and thought he was exceptional. Since then, I've tried to follow his film work, it seems very apparent that he makes excellent choices for films that vary in style and genre.

yoru Jan 06 2010 9:14 am I've watched most of his movies and so far they are really great. The only movies shown in the list that i can't find are Happiness in August, Izo, Chosyu 5, Purukogi and Life Can Be So Wonderful.

Arinay Dec 26 2009 1:00 pm He was very cool and awesome when he played as Ren in NANA!!
