<p> Early one morning in late June, Narita Ryo (30) was walking in Shinagawa Ward in a suit. He was stopped by actress Sae Okazaki (27), but Narita ran off without a care.</p>
<p> This was a scene from the location shooting of the July TV drama &#8220;Shokujo no Maou-sama&#8221; (Fuji Television). The story is about Narita, who plays the role of an astute career advisor with a sharp tongue, who solves the problems of job seekers about their jobs and their way of life. This is Narita&#8217;s second starring role in a prime-time drama series since last January&#8217;s &#8220;Fugitive Doctor F&#8221; (NTV).</p>

<p> Narita made his debut in the entertainment industry in &#8217;13 as a model for the fashion magazine &#8220;MEN&#8217;S NON-NO,&#8221; but he originally wanted to be an actor. His acting debut was in &#8220;FLASHBACK&#8221; (Fuji) in &#8217;14, and since then he has appeared in such high-profile films as &#8220;Runaway is Shameful but Useful&#8221; (TBS) and &#8220;Code Blue &#8211; Doctor Heli Emergency Rescue &#8211; THE THIRD SEASON&#8221; (Fuji), as is well known.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><strong> Narita has grown into a charming actor who shows a different face in each of his films, from a good young man, to a bad man who unintentionally cheats on women, to a homosexual, to an insane murderer.</strong><strong> </strong><strong> In the film &#8220;I Just Dropped My Phone,&#8221; he gave an excellent performance as an insane serial killer. He won the Best Newcomer Award at the 42nd Japan Academy Prize.</strong></p>
<p><strong> In the morning drama &#8220;Ocho-yan&#8221; (the second half of the fiscal year 2008), she played the heroine&#8217;s no-good husband, and her reputation was raised as &#8220;the more peculiar the role is, the more it shines.</strong><strong> &#8220;The more peculiar the role, the brighter he shines.</strong><strong> He is a young actor and has a wide range of roles, including villainous roles. There are surprisingly few young actors who can act in a wide range of roles, including villainous ones, and who are also well known. That is why Narita is getting so many offers.</strong></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Narita is only 30 years old. We can only look forward to seeing how much he will expand his acting range in the future.</p>
