Oricon's Promising Young Actors for 2009

Jan 27, 2009 23:49


Research firm Oricon conducted a survey of 1,000 young men and women, asking them which actors they have high expectations for in 2009.

The #1 answer was Haruma Miura, who ranked third in last year's survey. Miura landed his first starring drama role this past fall when he played a genius hacker in "Bloody Monday."
  1. Haruma Miura (Bloody Monday, Gokusen 3, Binbo Danshi, 14 Sai no Haha)
  2. Takeru Sato (Bloody Monday, Mei-chan no Shitsuji, Rookies)
  3. Junpei Mizobata (Hana Kimi, Akai Ito)
  4. Hiro Mizushima (*Duh.*)
  5. Hayato Ichihara (Rookies, Waterboys 2)
  6. Kenichi Matsuyama (Zeni Geba; best known for his role as "L" in Death Note)
  7. Shohei Miura (Gokusen 3, Koizora series)
  8. Yu Shirota (*Again, duh.*)
  9. Yusuke Yamamoto (Hana Kimi, Puzzle)
  10. Osamu Mukai (Meichan no Shitsuji, Seigi no Mikata, Honey and Clover series)
