What your first impression of Toma?

[mcjane83.livejournal.com]

is totally random. I search the web for Toma and I found this on miya808 secret post.


This make me remember what my first impression of him.
OK I watch Hanakimi because I like Shun (from watching Gokusen). I did check this drama before (long before I actually watch it) because I love Hanakimi comic. The first time I only watch the 1st episode but it didn't follow the comic and I didn't like the main (mizuki) character because she doesn't seem mentally strong to me. But the blond guy is really good looking and foreigner looking. I did notice his presence right away even before Shun but I was disappointed with the story so I didn't continue watching it. I never found an actor that has such a presence like him .I watched Yamapi, Ryo and Shun way before I watch Toma but none of them leave deep impression like him. I found myself addictive to him more and more after watching more of him .I was mad at myself for didn't know him sooner.
So what your first impression of Toma?

The first time I saw anything Toma-related had been in Maou, which I watched solely because of Ohno Satoshi, I'm not going to lie (and also sorta because it wasn't a romance drama, and more of some kind of exciting suspense thing, which is fantastic). At that time I'd been more attuned to Ohno, of course, and didn't really pay attention to the other actors.

As Naoto, though, Toma complimented Ohno perfectly. They were polar opposites and they delivered, and the conflict in Naoto between accepting his past or running away from it had been captured so well I started to like Toma, too. Then I watched a couple of his Maou PR stints with Ohno, and I realised that this guy was a huge idiot off-camera, and it was the most endearing thing I'd ever seen.

Initially I saw Toma as sort of a method actor, which he might be, but I'm not sure, and as someone who's more manly, if only because of his portrayal of Naoto. Then I figured out that he's just really stupid and adorable.

I am the opposite. I watch Maou because of Toma. At first I didn't like Ohno when they portray him as good looking guy but later he seem to get cuter hehe. I like their chemistry.
Toma is a goofy funny guy off camera. That's what I love about him. Thanks for commenting.

Ahhh, Toma is so funny though, isn't he? It seems every time he's in something I end up laughing--he's got such a silly sense of humour!

His chemistry with Ohno is great, though, yes! You could even see how well they get along with each other in all those silly behind the scenes photographs, it made me so happy.

Sometimes I get heartbroken though when it comes to Arashi + Toma stuff, if only because Aiba, Nino, and Jun were taken from MAIN to form Arashi and left itty-bitty Toma behind. ;____;

I totally agree. If only Toma was included in the group. Among the group member I like Ohno the best, he is a great singer and a great artist and sport too (beat Toma everytime they compete something haha). I glad I knew about him through Maou. I like his personality, very natural. Hope they have a another project together.

You said exactly what I thought about Toma and Ohno :)
Anyway, thanks for sharing this.

yes..Ohno and Toma are so cute together that was my first post ever..haha..
so what about your first impression of toma? I am curious btw.

My friend recommended me to watch HanaKimi. Honestly, I didn't really recognize him at the first sight. May be it's weird, but I usually don't like Asian with blonde hair (the reason is: I'm Asian, and I'm not used to see Asian with blonde hair in my country. I have many favorite actors who're blonde but of course they're not Asian. I know this reason is lame, haha). And honestly, I don't really like the story.
After watched some episodes, I realized that his way of acting is unique. His expressions is really good and funny. And... I like his smile.
Woaaah I think I made many mistakes with my English. Sorry, Jane.

Your English is perfect my friend, no need for apology.
haha..me too, I don't usually like asian guy with blonde hair but Toma for me is exceptional..I love him in blonde...
Honestly I didn't like the story at first either (different from the comic I read) but I look pass it because Toma was just so cute and funny and also the dorm guys too..

I finally finished it too. Since then I like blonde Toma too, hehe. For me, Toma with blonde hair give me summer aura and Toma with dark hair give me winter aura. Haha, weird, isn't it. I mean he's good in both blonde or dark hair, but each gives different impressions.

OMG, you said exactly what I thought about his hair..summer blonde and dark winter. I love his blonde hair more actually, he looks so fresh and handsome..not that I don't like dark. But my heart beat harder when I see his blonde hair..hahah
