Comments

Clara Cho Jun 13 2023 6:30 am Fell in love with him while watching why didn't I tell you a million times? I want to watch your other works Matsuyama-san :)

Cherai Leto Jun 08 2021 11:23 am I love L! He’s an amazing actor did great in that part and other movies, 2 thumbs up ?? he’s so sexy as well too! I want him, anyone is lucky to have him.. great acting skills cheers

allie Mar 19 2021 10:19 pm so hot

FromPHwithlove Nov 06 2017 5:52 am Kenichi-kun daisukiiiii. One of the best actors I know!

Kento ;-; Jul 18 2017 3:07 pm Okay so I watched all the death note movies and then a while later I watched satisfied a move for tomorrow and DIDNT know Satoshi was the same guy who played L. He does amazing at any roles given

RITSU Jan 18 2017 8:58 am Krauser-saaaaaaaaaaaaaan !!! Hell Yeah !!!!

Elite Jul 21 2016 2:19 am I like how you give your roles different mannerisms. I like how you ran differently in Sexy Voice and Robo, L: Change the World, Detroit Metal City and Usagi Drop and even in running you make us feel for the characters and move the story forward. I like how you are able to change your voice.

Thank you for bring such unique, funny and likable to life on the screen.

Karen Jan 25 2016 3:05 am His performance on "The Death Note 1,2 and 3" is very exceptional. It came to the point that I searched him online, read everything about him and now I am planning to watch all of his movies :) but the saddest point here is, he's already married :) (kidding aside Kenichi) Love lots from Philippines!

Tommy Jan 04 2016 1:44 pm What can i say about watching The Gutsy Frog thus far. Well...considering i've been watching quite a bit of Manga recently. And am also a HUGE fan of Kenichi Matsuyama's acting. I have to say that even though it's quite the "campy" TV show it really does have some great morals to it. For one thing it teaches kids not to be bullied and to stick up for themselves and who they are as individuals. It also teaches them about growing up, becoming independent on there own, building there self-esteem and confidence, and taking responsibility for there actions. Quite honestly, i didn't think i would enjoy this Manga as i'm used to seeing Kenichi in more serious roles. But i have to admit that his "versatility" as an actor playing a given part is quite impressive. The part he plays reminds me A LOT of Steve Urkel in a TV show i used to watch as a kid called "Family Matters" back in the '80's. Both characters Kenichi and Steve are EXTREMELY geeky and annoying. However, at the same time both have great hearts and mean well despite there nerdy demeanor. And i just laugh my ass off when i watch Kenichi getting all worked up over the simplest things. I will say this he certainly carried over the "eating aspects" of his character portrayal as L in the Death Note movies. Because there hasn't been an episode yet where he wasn't stuffing his face and trying to talk at the same time...LOL I just hope that this website can start working on getting episodes 7-10 English subbed so i can finish it. Because as of right now you can only watch up until episode 6 i believe. Then the rest are shown in "raw" Japanese language which is a real bummer. But honestly folks, if your a fan of Kenichi's work as i am it's WELL worth giving this TV show a chance. I'm really hooked on it now so if anybody on this website reads this review PLEASE get episodes 7-10 English subbed. Thank you.

Bobo Aug 08 2015 11:13 am It's nice to see him getting more work again :)

Rin-chan May 29 2015 10:45 pm I think that he is the BEST ACTOR I've ever known. Do you guy think so? But he married so soon :))) I think he will be much more successful in his acting career 'cause of his excellent acting skill. He might not the most beautiful guy but he is the BEST ACTOR ever. For me. And I LOVE HIM so MUCH and so DEEP! :3

maki Jan 01 2015 4:17 am Whether main or supporting roles, Matsuyama-san stands out. He's THAT good an actor... ;)

mio Jun 04 2014 10:57 am Actually, it's not impossible for them to read these comments. If you can read this thus those actors can read this too. Who knows? They might had read this.

Bunny May 23 2014 11:02 pm Why do everyone leave comments like they will actually read them? Or etc? I'm just curious.

mayeth g. Jan 14 2014 1:49 pm Hi Ken,

Love you as L in Death Note and Daikichi in Bunny Drop. Hope to see your other movies and drama series here in the Philippines.

You're the only one who suited L, I guess. Kawai, Kakkoi, Sugoi, and Suke dayo! May I hug you someday? >.< Then, I began to search everything about you, about your movie, dorama, and your song, I love your "Amai Koibito" song which became an OST of Detroit Metal City. :3 You're really a great actor, aren't you? A romantic movie, an action movie, a comedy movie, you played all of them with a good performance. Not every one could be a professional like that. That the reason why I Love you so much :3

Emm.. I heard that you have a project to starring a new movie that will show in 2014. Leji ka? I miss you, so I'll wait for that movie :3

Nee, Kenichi-san, wanna come to my Country? Indonesia has a beautiful landscape, I heard that you like to take a travel, maybe you wanna come with Koyuki and your children? :3 I'd like to see you all..

It's always nice to after all =] I think you are a great guy and I love the films you've starred in thank you for giving me hours of enjoyable entertainment. I don't know whether you will ever read this but I wanted to write in case you do because you give the world your films and I wanted to thank you for that.

Tiffany Aug 13 2010 2:35 pm Hello Kenichi,

I'm probably one of the younest here saying this (I'm 13) and personally I'm shy but ever since I saw Death Note and heard of L like 3 yrs ago, I fell in love but after that I wanted to see the Death Note films (I'm from the U.S.) and I watched it and noticed how much you personally look like L it was really adorable and then I saw L change the world....... OMG I just cried when I saw you as the character walking out on the end but I cried even more when I saw your interview and you saying that you were fond of kids in some way and that L was like a part of you..... plus I just what you think your ideal woman is and personally even though I dont know much about you because the media from Japan is barely brought here I think that your a really sweet loving person and that your ideal woman will find you and fall in love with you with an honest heart like you said.And if the rumors are true your going out with someone I hope you have a wonderful relationship with her, shes super lucky to have ever met you:-) and I´m soo happy to know that your b-day is nine days before mine, I´m born on the 14th:-) And theres three things I want to say before I log out.

1)Please dont let fame come into your head and become a crazy person that parties constantly and forgets who he or she is.Be humble,sweet and taske good care of yourself 2)Look at this website and see your comments,you have alot of girls that like you and reply back if your not busy,these girls would be soo happy if you did 3) I know this is what every girl says and it kind of gets annoying but if your not busy can you please reply back, I would seriously faint if you did, wel I hope I can see you in Japan in two yrs when I visit for my 15th birthday:-D well goodbye Kenichi and please stay your true sweet honest self lovely

Evra Aug 13 2010 2:09 pm i dont really think he reads all the comments on this website. because there are so many and their are more websites made for ken'ichi matsuyama fans. im a huge fan of his but there a lot of fans (duh!), also, he is so kawaai! ^_^

Rittoru Jul 29 2010 7:40 pm kenichi i know my message is just like every other fan but i take u as a romodle and as a great person. in ur movie death note the character L inspired me. because L didn't give up when he knew Light was kira. and that made me more comitted to my art. even though my pictures aren't great i'll keep trying.instead of anime i'm drawing ppl it's a big step up for me. and i hav picked u to draw hope u don't mind. but anyways even though i can't see u in real life just sendind u this note and looking at ur pictures is enough for me. but then again i would love not to draw u not from pics but you yourself in person. well any ways thats all i got to say.

hope your doing well and eating right :)

Rachael Jun 24 2010 5:35 am im in love with kenichi, i really am, i would do anything to meet you :(

Kuuki Jun 19 2010 5:22 am Hi Ken'ichi I know you probably don't read this but on the offchance that you do, I wanted to say "Great Job" on your success in all of your movies and tv series. I can't wait to see Gantz when it comes out here in the U.S.

Livyn Mar 29 2010 9:43 pm Hello I am a Brazilian fan and I admire his work, in addition to its beauty. I watched death note and fell in love with you, then detroid metal city, but here in Brazil is difficult to translate things, then watch it in Japanese. As an example, do not laugh my love, the next is Ultra Miracle Love Story. I watch all, because in my my opinion you are the best Asian actor. Te amo muito beijos.

こんにちは私はブラジルのファンになっていると私は、その美しさに加えて、彼の作品に感心する。 Euのイワシモノ素イpensarモノ想ので、outra x女性土居田、のmas mesmo assim ... 私は死に注意を見て、君と恋に落ち、その後detroid金属の都市が、ここブラジルで物事を翻訳する場合、日本語でそれを見ることは難しい。例として、次の私の愛笑いをしないでくださいウルトラミラクルラブストーリー。私は、アジア最高の俳優が、私の私の意見のために監視します。

Elise Mar 03 2010 8:23 am To be honest, I don't really like Kenichi Matsuyama. (I hope he's reading this) and I love Death Note, it's just that I don't like Kenichi BUT! -smirks- I prefer L Lawliet, the fictional character at the Death Note than the neat freak Kenichi. (whoa.. I'm attracted to guys with weird, pale and messy do') -hell yeah!- And the homo sapien that impersonates Kenichi... it's obviously not him because of course he will not say anything that will ruin his career. Bad for you! Bye people!

The Revulvas Jan 15 2010 10:09 am The greatest girl-band of all time times infinity, the Revulvas, would like to formally announce their intention to pursue Ken'ichi Matsuyama to the ends of the earth until he agrees to play a show with them. He may pretend to play any instrument of his choosing, if need be.

lisa-jane Jun 01 2009 4:57 am hi all.

Im from south Africa and came across the death note movies while i was working in the states a few months ago...I wanted to get into anime, but then i stumbled across the live-action versions of Death Note...and oh my hat!!! i immediately fell in love with L...i just had to find out who this man is that plays L and from then on Kenichi Matsuyama is all i think about, I love his acting so much, but all ive seen so far of his works are DMC, NANA, 1 LITRE of TEARS, DONT LAUGH AT MY ROMANCE, ALL THE DEATH NOTES, AND SEXY VOICE AND ROBO, i need more stuff, i really hope that i would be able to get hold of his latest movies. Getting hold of his work here in South Africa is not easy seeing that there isnt a big demand for japanese movies!!!aaaah im getting Kenichi withdrawal here...i really need more stuff!!

Yuurimon May 27 2009 8:26 pm Yuki~chan, Rumi

I agree with you guys ^^ LOL

Rumi May 27 2009 3:57 pm "Yuki ~chan Says: Lol, you guys comment like he's actually going to read this. " <---------Duuuuuuude, I think the same thing everytime I see this page, but laugh my head of instead xDDDDD

Yuki ~chan May 16 2009 12:02 pm Lol, you guys comment like he's actually going to read this. And Koyuki is 32.

That's a...8 year age difference? Ick. Hope that's a rumor, because that's like a twelve year old dating a twenty year old.

こんばんわ　松山さん。　私は、メロデイーです。　はじめまして、どぞよろしく。　：）

DMC　を　みていました。　ほんとに　とても、おもしろいですよ。

(forgive the poor grammar, I just started learning Japanese last Fall.)

Anyway, You are absolutely brilliant! I'm astonished by your skills as an actor. From shy death-pop singer Soichi to "L" the great detective. Brava, Brava good sir. Brava.

You are officially my favorite actor from Japan. Hands down.

Continue to do your best!

Rumi Apr 28 2009 2:16 pm Words out he's dating Koyuki. Fangirls 'ye be warned xD

Jamie-Louise Apr 10 2009 7:58 am I'm a welsh girl from Wales in the UK....I'm really love Jappanese cultureand this is how a came to find out about Ken'ichi Matsuyama

A lot of people are saying "I love you" here...I wonder if he gets creeped out by that.

Any ways I can't hide the fact that I'm a huge fan of Matsuyama Ken'ichi....I really am. I'm like anyother fan I have dvds of him and photo's but seeing as I'm from the Uk its really hard to find anything which is Asian. But I have scowered the internet looking, watching and following his work.

I love the characters he plays...after I saw him in DN I was amazed to find out more and so I watched more movies including Nana, The taste of tea, Linda Linda Linda...I think my favorite character he has played must be Robo out of Sexy voice and robo...that really made me laugh because i think it showed how nieve the character was. Another character I enjoyed watching you as was Shin from Nana there is one particular scene which remember where the group was on about Nana annd Ren and Shin says a little comment that he already knows and that really made me giggle. My favorite film with him in is Shindo I love the story to it.

Good luck with the future. Cant wait to see him in more movies.

Jamie Apr 08 2009 10:36 pm Hello I am just a Texas girl from America. I have seen most of the movies that you have been in even though it is very hard to find foreign films here...Yes I know I sound like another fan girl...I just want to say is, take it eazy I know it must be hard on you, but take some time to your self or with someone...You look tierd and worn out... Just don't let the pressure of being a star beat you down. I wish you luck and happiness plus all your dreams to come true. Good luck in your next movie. ~*Texas Girl*~P.S. happy late birthday ^_^;

kob Feb 26 2009 5:33 am i love kenichi

Rumi Feb 12 2009 4:44 pm Oh, it's too bad that he doesn't have a girlfriend...I had hoped he had someone to be with especially now that Valentine's Day is around the corner. I don't want him to be lonely =(

Aiko Feb 10 2009 2:24 pm annie! kenichi Matsuyama is really good at english!!!

rumi! no kenichi Matsuyama does not have a girlfriend!

kenichi matsuyama english is really good! but he does not speak english that much!

Kenichi Matsuyama is 23 now but in March 5 he will be turning 24!!!

Annie Feb 03 2009 10:56 am Sorry for my bad grammar. I didn't pay attention. Guess I will have to learn a lot :)

Annie Feb 03 2009 10:51 am Well in "L change the world" Kenichi did speak English so it's really strange that he don't know English at all...It seems confusing to me...I guess he had to work very hard to pronounce a word if he didn't know anything about it. So admire him :)!

nIKI.sIXX Jan 27 2009 2:42 am heheh that ´s isn ´t Kenichi ´s comment!!!! because in japanese language sayonara (さよなら) means absolutelly good bye tellings often enemies!

Ken'ichi Jan 21 2009 3:45 am arigato for your kind comments. chokuritsu! sayonara.

p.s. I'm really short they make me wear stilts

Raku Jan 01 2009 8:42 pm Rumi, 5 minutes into this interview on youtube from the Detroit Metal City screening at TIFF he says (though his translator) that he can't speak English.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPIXn7xQKRM

Rumi Dec 30 2008 6:35 pm Guess no one around here knows either...

Rumi Dec 24 2008 7:44 pm Actually now i wonder whether he knows English or not :/

Rumi Dec 24 2008 7:32 pm I was wondering whether he had a girlfriend too XDDD But I guess we'll never know since his private life is under wraps.
