I'm a big fan of Takeshi Kaga. I've known him from "Iron Chef". I believe he's very calm, cool and collective. And he's my kinda guy.

I am a fan of Tatsuya Fujiwara, and of the manga series. Tatsuya is the perfect actor to play Light.

loved the movie. loved ken'ichi as L. tatsuya was a bit too casual as Raito, but just as evil >3 (now i just have to finish reading the manga..)

Wow, I just finished Battle Royale. What a cool movia that was. All through it I thought that the guy who played Shuya resembled Light from the manga Death Note. After I looked up Tatsuya Fujiwara on imdb.com, I was shocked to see not only Death Note but also a sequel! Holy crap, I can't wait to see this movie. After watching the trailer I was really stoked, especially when they flashed Ryeuk at the end! When will these come to the U.S.?

L is the best character from Death Note. The best male character anyway.
He's so kawaii~!!! ^-^
Light is ok...but L is way cooler!!
and Kenichi Matsuyama, the guy who plays L in the movie, is soooo hot ^-^
