Hana-Kimi: Food for the Craving Fangirl Soul
The Perfect Trap |
Horikita Maki as Ashiya Mizuki Mizuki, the willful and flat-chested heroine of the series who flies all the way from the United States to Japan, withstanding the challenges that await her as she delves into the world of an all-boys’ school just to meet her idol Sano. |
| Oguri Shun as Sano Izumi A strong and athletic guy (thank goodness for athletic men) who is well-known for his abilities in high jumping. He was at the height of his career until one sudden accident changed all this, and it’s up to Mizuki to make a miracle and bring him back. It’s also worthy to note that he loves dogs and becomes a kissing freak when he turns drunk  |
The hairstyle irks me… x__x |
Ikuta Touma looks so cute! Nakatsu > Sano (in this case) |
Ikuta Toma as Nakatsu Shuichi The fun and quirky soccer-loving character who provides much of the comic-relief in the series. He becomes infatuated with Mizuki and is in constant battle with his feelings of BL (or so he thinks). |
| Kamikawa Takaya as Umeda Hokuto The school doctor who finds out Mizuki’s secret right away (thanks to his BL-ESP), and acts like an older brother to her as he becomes his constant source of advice (especially with regards to the secret she keeps). He’s known for being a ‘playboy’ and delights in the fact that he’s surrounded by BOYS in the school he’s in. |
Umeda?! Blasphemy!!! D: (give me back the real Umeda!!) |
Yet another perfect trap >D |
Kimura Ryou as Senri Nakao A |
| Okada Masaki as Sekime Kyogo The megane-kun captain of the track team who’s often seen together with Shinji Noe (his roommate). |
aww… I was hoping for bishie Masaki Okada to play a bigger role D: |
First glance: HAWT & bishie; Closer look: skinny =__= |
Mizushima Hiro as Nanba Minami The sexy and flirtatious leader of Dorm#2, who’s also the nephew of Umeda. He is known to be a “ladies man” (aka playboy), but doesn’t get involved in a serious relationship due to a melancholic past relationship. |
| Yamamoto Yusuke as Kayashima Taiki Nakatsu’s roommate and also his good friend. A serious and emotionally-void-looking guy who can see poltergeists and detect people’s auras, and used to be teased due to his ESP-like abilities. |
What’s with the thick and pouty lips?! x__X |
Yuu - OOZING with SEXINESS (talk about being biased :p) |
Shirota Yuu as Kagurazaka Makoto A competitive person by nature and Sano’s great rival in high jumping. He may be a recurring character, but we don’t think the title will live up to its name if not graced with the presence of Yuu Shirota (so sue us) :p |

I am a HUGE fan of HanaKimi I can’t wait for this to be released, i only hope some group will do subs for it.
How much of the manga is being used do you know? Would be awsome if they did the full thing, but I’m betting they only do 12/13 eps, like they usually seem to do with these types of shows. Not sure how much they could get in in that time frame though.
I’m not sure Horikita Maki is right for the role though to be honest, she’s to womany (no offense lol) i mean she’s to easy to spot as being a woman, and couldn’t pull it off as being a girl in an all guy school. I wouldn’t even call her cute to be honest, she is good looking, but not the cute side that Mizuki has.
Be interesting to see if she can play Mizuki’s personality right.
I CAN’T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! though really really desapointed with Umeda
TO FANGIRL MODE!
Soooo excited for this, though maybe it has too much hype? Oh well ;D If it’s as fun of an adaption as Hana Yori Dango was then I’ll be ecstatic
I’ve always been a Sano person and like Oguri more than Ikuta. So… Sano gets five stars from me, haha ♥
This show will be realllly interesting I think
I think this will be a fantastic Japanese drama! I think the cast is good! they’ll be doing great!
Omigod! The casting totally beats the TW adaptation. Erm, the cuteness factor, I mean.
I did love Ella, though. I have a soft spot for her. I was already fangirling at Shun but the Yuu dude is some kind of hott! Should I prepare for smelling salts? I demand shameless fanservice!!
Wow, if the drama becomes really popular, I wonder if there is any chance of the manga being animated?
cast looks better than the taiwan version….ah but some of them…..I can’t shake the image of the manga chars at all…..>_
Halfway through watching the raw right now; and LOL I almost freaked at Umeda-sensei. Nanba’s actor is kinda funny and the aura around Kayashima. LoL.
wow this series look awesome with the cast and all !!! looks better than the taiwan version. i totally agree. lol
please please don’t everybody yell at me or kill me for saying this but i think its amazing that anime characters have the biggest eyes and asians have the smallest, Im not being racist just i just thought it was weird since japanese invented anime right? Anyways the okada dude looks weird with the big adams apple… i guess i just don’t find these people attractive but unfortunately Wolfram the blonde haired blue eyed beauty does not exist in real life *cries in corner* I wish we had real bishounen!!!! *cries some more*
or maybe a real life howl from howls moving castle, i love my blondies hehe
definitely a bunch of cuties there. I am looking forward to this since I didnt really like the tw adaptation of the manga. whats with umeda? he’s supposed the be the best looking of the bunch…. cries…
One of the features I love about Nanba is the eyes and um, Mizushima Hiro SO does not have THE eyes…is it just me or at that angle he looks sorta like Marc Anthony…tis the eyes and lips…
Kimura Ryou has feminine enough eyes for Nakao’s role…but the rest of his features..his face is a tad um, wide isn’t it?
Man, that pic of Makoto is ssssmooking…sexy..but Shirota Yuu’s pic next to it hardly measures up…
I think I’m most disappointed with the casting of Kamikawa Takaya as Umeda. I like the Taiwan version of Umeda better lol..sure he was playing up the stereotypical gay man but damn, he was fun, sexy and wicked lol.
I wonder if I’ll get lynched by Oguri Shun fans if I said, dude is looking a lil older than his role and his hair is so poofy in the pic…hee.
Can’t wait to watch the first ep.
meh, i keep forgeting the cut off thingy on comments lol.
Anyway, i agree he looks like an old man in this, Umeda is supposed to be a hot, but twisted guy. He looks like a bog standard old doctor, nothing sexy about him at all, more creepy than anything else lol.
Only thing we need now is for them to announce an anime, then i can die a happy guy
Ya know, perhaps i shouldnt write posts when i just woke up and havent had my coffee yet hehe
lol that comment about Nanba senpai… classic!
you’re hilarious haha
oh, and i second that: WANT THE REAL UMEDA BACK!!!!!!! D:
Yeah Umeba was a bit off, but the actor for Kayashima Taiki disturbed me more…@__@ so pouty the lips are and uhh shiny ~__~
but yeah this series is very interesting indeed. I’ve only seen the Taiwanese version, I’m on episode 9 I think. Can’t wait to watch the jap version. ^__^
Oh, I posted in your previous post of Hana Kimi. I think it was on the episode 2 and asked you a question there. I love Hana Kimi. I can’t wait to see the rest of the episodes!
Man, I’m in heaven. With Shun, Toma, Yu, and Yusuke. I’m good, thanks

omg i love this movie
i saw the whole thing and the last part was so sad it make me cry,but it was really good,
loooooooooove this movie
I don’t quite agree wif U guys. Umeda still look gorgeous hahahahaha (at least4 me lol) ;p
@Dont quite agree Actually, our view has changed since the time of the writing of this post. Granted, the picture does not truly give justice to Kamikawa Takaya. However, I do agree that he looked quite handsome in the JDrama itself
hora!!..i like it so much..when i watch that movie many times, i also can’t stop laughing..even when my mom said that i’m crazy.exspecially nakatsu character, always smile when he’s in a problem’_’
I finished the series last night. Verdict: Yummy!
Er, I mean, I had fun watching, especially with Nakatsu around. And Toma’s gonna star as Takemoto in the live action adaptation of H&C! Oh I want to fast-forward to next year!!
I finished this dorama a couple of days ago and I must say I loved it!!!!! At least for me it is a MUST WATCH!!! besides so many beautiful guys in one Dorama is more than I can ask for
horikita maki= cutie
ikuta toma = looks nicw nad funny
kimura ryou= verry cute (you go girl!)
mizushima hiro = prety boy
okada masaki = delish love the face
yamamoto yusuke = you look like a girl!
shirota yuu = ohh mi gosh superduper handsome! cute dude! love him!
i love the show very nicely done
if anyone wants to watch the japanese hana-kimi and the taiwanese hana-kimi go to http://www.mysoju.com you can also find many other dramas on that site.
and BRING BACK THE SEXY UMEDA-SENSEI BACK!!!
ikuta toma is so kawaii
we love hiro,shun and toma!
wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW……. i really really love this manga…….oguri,nakatsu and inaba senpai lookkkkksssssssssssss soooooooooooooooo cute here heheheh…..
and i can wait for the hanakimi the movie
No offense to any Hana Kimi drama (NOT MANGA) lovers…. most of the actors look really ah…. how should I put it?…. ugly… I was really looking forward to seeing if anyone could match perfectly with Sano so I’m kind of disappointed…
iwwww do lsmile: hi ikuta ashteru i need your love im crazy for loving you do love to men like you im woman in love i will never for get you i honest love you remember me im your frienster my name is marjorie i like your boyfriend
The only actors that actually (or kind of) match with their characters are Ikuta Toma, Horikita Maki, Oguri Shun (his hair, not so much), and Shirota Yuu. The others, I was so disappointed with. I mean, couldn’t they cast a girl for Nakao, or at least a girly-looking guy? What’s with the scrawny actor being cast as Nanba? And, omigod, Umeda. I was looking forward to the hot actor who was going to be him! But, alas, the casting manager had to pick that dude. (No offense.) Gah! Even Mizuki’s brother! He’s supposed to be a young, hot, non-bearded blond! Oh forget it.
hi…………wat a nce movie i’ved seen in my life……..ur my idol……….the best series.hehehehehehe
this was my first japanese drama ever and i loved it. i think that older men are hotter now due to the doctor….
I love this dorama!!!! I fell in love with Nakatsu!!! The actors were great with great humor.
>..
i love your m@ng@ HANA KIMI…………. @ll the c@st is very funny
^ ^
- i love you @ll !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
0h my g0d !!!
I relY2 lUv Hana Kimi !!!
Oh my GOOOOOOOOODDDDD!!
I LOVE Okada Masaki!
I don’t even know why… he’s just sooo cute!!
And Hiro, Takaya, Yusuke, & Yuu are quite hot also.
Which is weird since when I first started watching the series I didn’t think any of them was hot. But now that I’m finished, I love them all!!!!!!!
I’m up to ep. 11 of the hana kimi drama (jap version) and I love toma ikuta…shun oguri is great too but now that I look back at the manga oguri’s too taciturn to play sano…and WHAT is with the actor playing umeda??? Umeda’s one of my fav bishies and WHAT have they done with him?????? Urgh…*cries*
but to sum it all up, the MANGA is the best version of Hana kimi, which is THE BEST shojo manga EVER.
