[Guest *.:StarryEyeSurprise:.*]

isn't he half chinese?

xD

[Guest goodvibrations]

^ No, he's full Japanese.

Shota was SO hot in his new drama Jotei starring Rosa Kato.

The slick Yakuza look is really working for him. lolol

[Guest chinkboye22]

damn he's a hottie and my idol along with Takashi Tsukamoto and Yamapi

[Guest epoxyethaneGLAMOUR]

goodvibrations he is actually a fourth zainichi korean.

i want to see waruboro so badly. especially since he is supposed to be a yankii. i also want to see jotei, but i want english subtitles, because my japanese sucks.

*.:StarryEyeSurprise:.* are you thinking of his co-star abe tsuyoshi from hana yori dango? because abe tsuyoshi is half chinese, by the way.

[Guest blue.berrii]

Currently watching Jotei, and just finished Liar Game.

Very versatile actor.

Hope to see him in more dramas in the near future.

BTW, doesn't he look Chinese?

Maybe its just me...

gah, i loved him in liar game. i'm going on a matsuda shota drama hunt now. XD just finished watching his movie, a cheerful gang turns the earth, and will start watching HYD 1 & 2 + jotei. :DDDDD i wish he'd cut his hair though, haha. but his hair does look pretty cool up in a ponytail. he's been in so much stuff lately. o_o i think he's better looking than his bro...hehe. pictures do him no justice. he's sooo much hotter onscreen.

by the way, what does "zainichi" mean?

[Guest NO NAME?]

^ Zainichi Koreans, also often known as Zainichi for short, are the permanent ethnic Korean residents of Japan. They currently constitute the largest ethnic minority group in Japan. Strictly speaking, the term refers only to long term, permanent residents of Japan who have retained either their Joseon (the old, undivided Korea) or South Korean nationalities, not ethnic Koreans who have acquired Japanese nationality through naturalization.

The Japanese word Zainichi itself means "staying in Japan." For example, Zainichi-Gaikokujin (在日外国人) refers to "foreign nationals living in Japan", while Zainichi-Beigun (在日米軍) refers to United States Forces Japan. However, "Zainichi" on its own usually refers to Zainichi Koreans because of their significant presence in Japanese society.

Those caps in Jotei look so good. I want to watch that drama, but there are no subs for it right? I should watch HYD & HYD2. I haven't seen those yet.

[Guest Xena]

For others that are in a J-drama mood zone I found this site that also has non-CB jotei links, as well as Hana Yori Dango 1 & 2, plus extras, liar game and a bunch of others:::

It's wonderfully maintained. =]

[Guest Appolpai]

ai0no0ff - thanks for the info! there ARE subs for jotei. i think 2 episodes are subbed so far. i'm also starting to watch HYD. liar game was my first shota drama and i'm addicted now. o_o

[elizabeth]

became a fan of his since HYD. Now, I'm lovin his new drama, Jotei. He looks so different in Jotei compare to HYD.. but he sure is coming hotter and hotter.

[resetlove]

who is the female lead in jotei?

is that nice...

look nice frm the screencaps...

noe anywhere which has it uploaded??

[Guest Appolpai]

elizabeth you should really watch liar game if you haven't yet. i wish he'd cut his hair though. ^^; i like his HYD hair, both seasons.

reginaxlove the female lead is kato rosa. she acted with him before in the movie "a cheerful gang turns the earth" and she's actually also in the same company as him. Xena posted a place where you can get Jotei just a couple posts above you. or you could just torrent it.

[Guest Misao]

in hana yori dango, he looks like a parrot

You're welcome. Haha, I finally found the subs for the drama. Looking forward to watching it. Oh! Liar Game is my first drama that I saw with Shota. It's quite addicting.
