Oricon: ideal teacher from a classroom drama

Tokyograph News · 06-27-2008, 07:51 AM

Oricon recently conducted a couple of drama-related surveys. One of them asked a thousand men and women to name their ideal teacher from a school drama. Not too surprisingly, Yukie Nakama's character of Yankumi in "Gokusen" was the most popular.

Kinpachi Sakamoto of the long-running "3 Nen B Gumi Kinpachi Sensei" (played by Tetsuya Takeda) ranked 2nd. He was followed by Eikichi Onizuka of "GTO" (Takashi Sorimachi), Koichi Kawato of "ROOKIES" (Ryuta Sato), and Kenji Sakuragi in "Dragon Zakura" (Hiroshi Abe).

Yutaka Mizutani was #6 for his role as Kodai Kitano in the '70s series "Necchu Jidai." One of his namesakes, actor Yutaka Takenouchi, ranked right behind him as Masaya Yoshimori in "Yankee Bokou ni Kaeru."

Maya Akutsu, played by Yuki Amami in "The Queen's Classroom," was #8. Gansuke Hiraizumi from "Minikui Ahiru no Ko" (Goro Kishitani) came in at #9, and Sentaro Sakuragi of "Gakko no Sensei" (Tsuyoshi Domoto) completed the list at #10.
