Takumi Kitamura has been the main character in more than 5 dramas…Kento Hayashi and Takayuki Yamada are active in “Net-distributed dramas”: merits and demerits

On December 14, Netflix began streaming the drama “Yu Yu Hakusho,” starring Takumi Kitamura (26).

Based on the popular manga of the same title by Yoshihiro Togashi. In the original story, the main character is a junior high school student, so Kitamura’s starring role in the live-action adaptation drew controversy, but the high quality of the CG, which is unique to Netflix, has attracted attention from around the world” (movie writer).

Stardust Promotion, to which Kitamura belongs, is actively involved in video distribution platform productions.

“It was probably significant that Stardust’s Kento Hayashi (33) starred in ‘Spark,’ distributed in ’16, which created a pipeline with Netflix.’ Stardust’s signature actors have appeared in Netflix films one after another, including Takayuki Yamada (40) in “Naked Director” and Kento Yamazaki (29) in “Alice in Imaginary Country,” both distributed in 19 years.

With the COVID-19 crisis, video distribution sites began to do well, and major entertainment agencies began to market their products in droves, but Stardust has been sending popular actors to the site since the dawn of video distribution, including “Spark. Stardust has had foresight.

On the other hand, major entertainment production company HORIPRO starred Akiyoshi Nakao (35) in “Jimmy~An Idiotish Honma no Hanashi~” on Netflix in 2005, and “A2Z” starring Kyoko Fukada (41) is being distributed on Amazon Prime Video this year as well. However, they are cautious about video distribution.
