Kimtaku, Kusanagi and Masato Sakai made both lists. At least they're consistent.
Dang, that's a lot of agreement on hating Kimura. He should get a special prize for being the most hated beloved actor. It's quite an achievement.
For anyone to get so much dislike, regardless of whether I like Kimutaku or not, I actually felt bad for him to be that disliked. Then again, this ranking is somewhat skewed because it targets readers of a particular magazine only and the sample size is not that big. Just take this with a pinch of salt and read for fun although I think those in the disliked list probably won't feel as positive about this.
Happy for Tamaki to top the favourites list!
As for Kimutaku, are people still blaming him for the SMAP breakup?
Hi junny, I think there are three main reasons often cited in the media as to why Kimutaku is so disliked:
- Him enjoying preferential treatment
- His acting skills or rather the lack of it
- His wife Kudo Shizuka
The first point has been an issue for ages even before the SMAP breakup because he's always been seen as treated differently in various ways. And the fact that he was being seen as the person who forced the rest to apologise on live TV when the breakup saga first came to light didn't help either.
The second point has more to do with people's opinion of him being Kimutaku regardless of which role he is playing.
As for Kudo Shizuka, I don't think some people still accept her as Kimutaku's wife till now even though they have been married for so long and their daughters are already teenagers. I think it was last year or slightly earlier when she posted some photos online which offered a peak into her family life that got some fans really riled up because they felt she was using her husband to gain exposure. Thanks to such people, it has sort of become an unwritten rule that you don't really talk about your spouse in public unless you have some special status like Kimura Yoshino talked about Higashiyama Noriyuki.
They say that if you are in both lists (favorite and disliked) then it could only mean that you're very popular. After all, all popular people have their share of supporters and haters.
Thanks, Chiaki, for the detailed response. It's silly of people not to accept Kudo Shizuka, she's been his wife for so long already. Isn't she an established singer in her own right? And there's nothing wrong about sharing photos of your family, it's not like she's doing it excessively.
As for the first two points, I can see why people get upset over it.
