Bio

Eita, born as Eita Nagayama on December 13, 1982 in Tokyo, Japan, is a popular Japanese actor & model. He is the middle child in a family of five. His older brother, Tazuya Nagayama, and younger brother, Kento Nagayama, are both actors as well. As a young child, Eita enjoyed making home movies with his brothers, but he didn't dream of becoming an actor. Instead, Eita enjoyed playing football (soccer) during his elementary and middle school days. His entrance into the entertainment world then came about in 1991 when Eita was a high school student. While walking on the streets, Eita was scouted by a talent agent. He would then make his debut as a model.
By 2001, Eita worked on a commercial for Coca-Cola which became popular with the youths and garnered Eita attention. In the same year, Eita made his acting debut on the small screen with the Fuji TV drama "Sayonara, Ozu-sensei" and on the big screen with "Blue Spring." The following year, Eita dropped his family name altogether and became known as just "Eita." During this time, Eita landed a variety of supporting roles, but didn't have anything stand out until the hit 2003 Fuji TV drama "Water Boys." Eita's starring role in the 2005 comedy "Summer Time Machine Blues," would further solidified his name as rising young actor. Along the way, Eita has picked up a variety of unique roles, switching just as easily from leading man to supporting actor and working in small indie films to big budget mainstream films. This has all worked to make Eita one of the more in demand actors working in Japan today.

MDL PROFILE

i'm watching Last Friends and I absolutely love this guy...my new found J-love <3

I've seen him in Sunao ni Narenakute (LOVED), Last Friends (LOVE, not finished) and Voice (Okay, not finished). I like him a lot. I plan to watch Nodame Cantabile soon, too. :)

i love that he somehow looks messy but hot at the same time. he has a weird face or maybe it's the crazy hair but he's strangely attractive. i've seen nodame cantible but i didn't know him then. i got to recognise him from last friends. also he did a really good job in lucky 7 with all the action sequences. he's a versatile actor. i've been catching reruns of water boys on tv (raw) which is making me want to check out this drama subbed.

Also i love the uno ads with Eita, Tsumabuki Satoshi, Oguri Shun + Miura Haruma. check them out.

Those adverts <3 I love Eita's ability to have chemistry with all of actors, he has this awesome natural easiness about him. You know when a scene is supposed to be fun and light, like the characters are meant to be enjoying themselves etc. Well 80% of actors just make those smiles and laughs and touches seem at best stages at worst forced, but most of the time just plan unnatural. Whilst Eita falls in the category of those rare actors who make you believe scenes like that. Any decent actor can convey sadness or make themselves cry... But very few can make smiles and gestures of friendship seem real and relatable. That's why Eita is so incredible in an understated way. :)

the making of is funny too.

I first saw Eita in Nodame ( in 2010) but I did not really pay attention to him .
It's one year later that I started realizing that he is such a great actor ( when I saw him in Last Friends ) .
Now I've watched almost all of his dramas : Tokyo Friends , Nodame and the movies , Last Friends , Lost,time Life (the 1st ep) ,Sunao ni Narenakute ,Soredemo Ikite Yuku and Saiko no Rikon . And now I'm waiting for his new drama to air : Wakamono Tachi .

However I can't watch Lucky Seven because of Matsu Jun nor Mahoro for personal reasons u_u .
I did not watch so many movies with him beside : Tokyo Friends movie , April Bride & Wild Seven .

I'm a huge hardcore fan of Eita *not ashamed* hihi .

I loved him in Hard to Say I Love You!

Woow this thread from so long :3

I love him too! I fall for him in his drama Nodame Cantabile! then I start to watch each drama of his (I guess I have watched a lot but  will be too long to write all of them :3)
You should see his abs in Lucky Seven! (^///^)-c I did rewind those scene! maybe hundreds time!

My Last Completed drama of his is Saiko no Rikon ! I give it perfect rate 10/10 
I admire his cool-acting like in Lucky Seven, Last Friend, Orange Days, or Hara-Kiri (Movie)! 
but his sweet one in Saiko no Rikon is perfect! as sweet-weird-couple!
