Male actors who have outstanding chemistry with Imada are ……

Her fan base is overwhelmingly young women in their teens and twenties, and she remains charismatically popular. She is a regular No. 1 in surveys of faces people would like to become, and her strong eyes and rich expressiveness are also attractive. She first attracted attention when she played the role of a bully in the drama “Hana-no-chi-Harure: Hana Otoko Next Season” (TBS), which aired in 2006. In addition to her pretty appearance, she has two sides to her, one of a bratty girl and the other of a devil, and her acting skills, from her tone of voice to her facial expressions and gestures, switch from one to the other beautifully. Her acting ability to switch from one person to the next so beautifully was one word that can be used to describe how amazing she was. Many viewers were fascinated by the power of her eyes.

In the third series of the drama “Hanasaki Mai ga Silent” (NTV) broadcast in ’24, the role of Mai Hanasaki was so strongly associated with Anne (38) that when it was announced that Imada would star, there were many negative reactions. But as soon as it started, they were immediately attracted to Imada’s version of Mai Hanasaki. There were even more people who said they became fans after that production. Ms. Imada has a great ability to instantly make a given role her own. I think that’s why viewers are immediately drawn to her acting.”

Another attraction, she says, is the chemistry between her and Kitamura, who plays her husband.

They also played lovers in the movie “Tokyo Revengers,” and this is actually the sixth time they have worked together. In the past, there have been several couples who have developed chemistry through morning dramas, but it is very rare for a couple to play husband and wife after they have already established trust as working partners. Both Mr. Kitamura and Mr. Imada are highly skilled actors with strong personalities. They are both strong actors with strong personalities, and their chemistry fits perfectly together, so I feel very comfortable with them from the very beginning.

There is nothing but high expectations for “Anpan,” which will begin airing on March 31!
