this drama, he can draw very well and made good friend with Nagase's character.

09. Nobuta wo Produce
broadcasted : October ~ December 2005, NTV
other casts : Kazuya Kamenashi, Maki Horikita, etc
This is probably the most extreme character Yamapi ever acted in! Akira is amusing LOL! he's baka, bubbly and did many stupid things like flapping hands as if he was flying whenever he walked *or danced?* downstairs, sticking his chin to Shuji's shoulder, touching anyone esp. Nobuta *kyaaa* and a soya-milk freak. at first i thought he was exaggerating, it's impossible for human to be cho~genki all the time like that, but later i fell in love with his character, he's very yasashi and value friendship so much, he even gave up when he found out that Nobuta, the girl that he and Shuji produced likes Shuji more than him. i love the story! now i can't choose which one is my ultimate fave drama between Stand Up! and Nobuta wo Produce ^^;;
10. Kurosagi
