Kentaro Sakaguchi opened up the field of "Cool Guy" Unusual similar roles in a series of starring roles in a series of NTV dramas
Masao Kusakari is a legendary figure who started out as a
cosmetics model and became an actor. The path that Kusakari created was
followed by his juniors. The number of magazine model-turned-actors has been
particularly high. Just as actresses change their careers from modeling, men
too have taken the high road. What about the breakup of cohabitation? Mitsuki
Takahata & Kentaro Sakaguchi: The reports of their breakup have left me
with an undeniable sense of discomfort. Among them, the most royal of the royal
road is modeling for "MEN'S NON-NO.
Hiroshi Abe, Takashi
Sorimachi, Yutaka Takenouchi, Takao Osawa, and Higo Miyazawa, who got his break
last year in the morning drama "Chimudo-don. He is also attracting
attention in his personal life, having recently reportedly been involved in a
romantic relationship with co-star Yuna Kuroshima. Kentaro Sakaguchi, who will
star in another NTV drama in the July season, following the April season, is
also a former Menno. While it is not unusual for a leading and supporting actor
to appear in consecutive episodes, it is quite unusual for them to star in
consecutive episodes on the same station.
NTV said they chose him because of his "eye-catching
performance and smile. The use of a series of appearances is risky, as there is
a risk that the viewers will get bored with the drama. The main focus of
attention is on the role of the actor, who is a former doctor in the April
season and a detective in the July season, but both roles are "cool"
in nature. He is making the most of his cool charm, which is the driving force
behind Sakaguchi's current popularity.
In the world of TV dramas, roles in
which Sakaguchi plays well tend to be shunned because they leave a strong image
and make it difficult for him to play other roles. Yonekura Ryoko stepped down
from the role of Daimon Michiko in "Doctor X" because she did not
want to be associated with the role. In Sakaguchi's case,
the major difference is that the role is not a specific role, but a role with a
cool image. Looking back at Sakaguchi's career to date, he debuted as an actor
at the age of 23 after working as a model for nearly four years. He was popular
among women, but it was his role as the doctor "Dr. Suganami" in the
morning drama "Okaeri Monet" two years ago that brought him wide
public recognition. As the jinx says, "Supporting roles in morning dramas
are more successful," and so Sakaguchi's career has continued to grow
steadily. After appearing in "Monet," he was sometimes called "Dr.
Suganami." Last year, he gave a fine performance as Yasutoki, the eldest
son of Hojo Yoshitoki (Oguri Shun), in the historical drama "Kamakura no
Dono no 13inin" (The 13 Lords of Kamakura).
In Fuji Television's "Kaketo no Kantei" in which
he starred, he is a JFTC examiner who solves cases with calm and collected
manner. Since the morning drama, he has consistently played "cool"
roles.
The image of an actor changes depending on the work as well
as the choice of roles. It may be a strategy that he and his agency have
considered for his future acting career." ■ Breaking out of the shell of
"good-looking actor"... Actresses are nicknamed "cool
beauty", but men rarely hear of this term. Ken Takakura, one of the most
famous actors of the Showa period (1926-1989), remained a "taciturn man"
until his later years. Toshiro Mifune and Yusaku Matsuda were active in action
films with their "masculinity" and "manliness" as their
appeal. Their presence was outstanding.
Yujiro Ishihara of the Nikkatsu era
was a "tough guy," meaning physically and mentally robust. Asahi
Kobayashi was called "Mighty Guy" because of his image as a man with
dynamite-like explosive charm. Both of these nicknames were derived from the
image of the actor in the role, but in recent years few actors have been called
by their nicknames. In recent years, however, few actors are referred to by
their nicknames, and are lumped together as "good-looking actors. As if to
break out of this shell, Sakaguchi has decided to star in a series of films as
a new "cool guy" actor.
In the baseball world, Shohei Otani has changed the
stereotype of professional baseball players with his two-faced style. The drama
industry is waiting for the emergence of an actor like Otani. (Kazuhiko
