Where You Can Find Mizushima Hiro? (Part 1)

Actually I haven't watch all of his dramas and movies, but uncle "Google" has a lot of information about him, so based on that, I tried to put filmography for Hiro here and add my thoughts about his works. Let's start with his dramas:

1. Gokusen 2 as Misawa Hiro
I hadn't watch this drama but people said that Hiro played a small role in this drama. So I streamed Mysoju.com only for episode 2 and last episode of Gokusen 2 as been informed, and found him on very few scenes. The info that I got before, was wrong. Hiro didn't play a small role in this drama. Hiro really played as a very very small cameo! On the episode that I watched, Hiro--who always appear in a lime green T-shirt--didn't speak any dialogue at all. I only see he opened his mouth one time when he said "Aaah", on the last episode, when Yakumi (the lead role) saying goodbye to her students.
I was very disappointed. But I guess it was a process. At this moment Hiro is one of the top Japanese actors. I thought 5 years (his debut in this drama was in year 2005) is quite a time for changing him from 'nothing' into 'something'.


2. Ame to Yume no Ato ni (episode 7)
Same as Gokusen, I hadn't watch this drama either. So to find Hiro, I only streamed the 7th episode.He only showed up two times in this drama. First, when he got jealous with Hayami Mokomichi (they played together in Zettai Kareshi) who was talking with his girlfriend. And the last time, when Hiro dumped by his girlfriend, who actually been possessed by a female ghost all this time. His 'conscious' girlfriend didn't even recognize who Hiro was.
The funny thing for me was how Hayami Mokomichi looks has a better appeal than Hiro on this drama, just like in Zettai Kareshi. The female ghost in above story dumped Hiro because she has a crush on Hayami. And in Zettai Kareshi, the girl choose Hayami instead of Hiro, even though Hayami is a robot. It seems that both of them are fit as rivals. Haha.
By the way, although on this drama Hiro spoke some dialogues and he showed much more expressions than on Gokusen 2, but he didn't even given a name. Poor Hiro :(
3. Brother Beat as Yoshii
Unfortunately I don't have much information about Hiro's role in this drama so I will skip this one and come back later if I already watched its full episodes. Gomen.
(I should post this sexy pic, anyway xixi)
Update: I have watched the first episode of Brother Beat, and just realized that Hayami Mokomichi played as one of the lead roles. Do you realize how often these two hotties played at the same scenes together on many dramas? Until now I have found 3 dramas they both played together.
Hiro showed up in last minutes of this first episode. On above picture, the guy whom Hiro talk with is Hayami. Yoshii (Hiro) informed Riku (Hayami) about a chance of getting rich in just one night: being a 'Host' in a Club. LOL. I wouldn't mind if they become my hostess :D
Update 110410:  I have finished watched this drama! Though Hiro only played a small role, but this family drama is worth to watch. As Hayami's friend, Hiro only showed up in few scenes, and none of them are close-up scenes. I couldn't see the quality of his acting in this drama, and I'm not sure how is the character of Yoshii. One time he is clumsy, some other he is hotblooded, he can be pessimistic as well.  If you only want to watch Hiro's appearance, no need to watch all episodes of Brother Beat, I saw someone posting particular Hiro's scenes on YouTube.
4. Pink No Idenshi as Ikushima Mizuki
I get upset when I watched this drama! The character who played as Hiro's girlfriend was totally aggressive and shameless. This short story begin when the girl suddenly showed up in front of Hiro and ask him to go out with her. Hiro, who has minus eye sights made his head closer to the girl and....cup! The girl suddenly kiss his lips and then tell everyone that his lips was soft and tender. :( :( :( :(
What I don't get was...Hiro didn't say anything about the confession nor the kiss, so how come she assumed Hiro accept her? Is this normal in Japan? Can someone confess and when the target was silent, is it normal to consider that the silence was a Yes answer?

When a Mizushima Hiro Caught My Eyes?

I noticed him when my lil' sister brought him home packed in Tokyo Dogs' DVD. She is interested in detective and cop stories, and she is dreaming about becoming a Secret Agent for some kind of institutions like FBI, CIA, CSI, and so on. I think she might be good on becoming a pro-filer since she study in Psychology major now. Haha. 

Hiro played as Kudo Maruo, an impulsive, hot-blooded detective and a fighting expert due to his earlier days as a delinquent. This character, with beard and mustache, is the first time Mizushima Hiro caught my eyes!

I thought that this guy is so damn cool, the character make him more attractive, and his appearance looks like Johnny Depp, my favorite Hollywood actor. At that time I was wondering that he will look very handsome without beard and mustache. Ha.

It was about two months ago. And last month my sister, brought him home again, that time was packed in Mr. Brain DVD. And surely I was right. He was so much better without that facial hair. Although he didn't play as much scene as in Tokyo Dogs, I waited his performance in every scene, and play some scenes back just to see how gorgeous he is. I felt like I was a teenager again. Damn. 


So I started to browse some info about him. And found he is married already. Dong dong dong....
I guess it shouldn't be a problem at all, he really doesn't know me, and I already have a person to be married, anyway :) 

When I started to streaming his dramas, my sister told me I should watch Hana Kimi first, but I already knew that there's a lot of actors in Hana Kimi and my intention to watch these dramas is only to see him. He didn't play as a main character in Hana Kimi, so I thought Hana Kimi should be the last choice that I should watch. But I was wrong. There is a LOT of scenes of Hiro and he also got many close-up scenes. The character, Nanba-senpai, was very well played by him. He was very fit as a playboy and a leader of the dorm. I adore him ever since.

Who is Mizushima Hiro?

Known as a Japanese model and actor. He was born in Tokyo almost 26 years ago with real name Saito Tomohiro. Young Hiro lived in Switzerland for 6 years due to his father's work. He studied at an international elementary school, which explain why his English is quite good compared to other Japanese actors. He returned to Japan after the sixth grade, and in Junior High School he start to play soccer seriously. His team ever won second place in national tournament. Unfortunately he got an serious injury when he was in high school and he finally decided to quit soccer once he played in the national stadium.
Hiro entered Keio University majoring Integrated Policy, but at that time he was interested in fashion and want to study this thing better in New York. He didn't have much money to live abroad, so he started to work as a model. After half a year being a model, he wasn't comfortable for being judged by appearance only, so he started to do acting.
His debut was Gokusen 2 in 2005. He played a very-small-role, I couldn't find any dialogue that he did in this drama. He played as supporting actor in many dramas and a few movies until 2007 (except Kamen Rider Kabuto), but apparently his most impressive and unforgettable role was Nanba Senpai in Hanazakari no Kimitachi e (it is so subjective, I know). He started to play as a lead role in the following dramas; Zettai Kareshi and Tokyo Dogs. And this year, his upcoming film 'Beck' will be release soon.
