My Take
Ryuya Wakaba, born June 10, 1989, belongs to a category I find endlessly interesting: the child actor who actually made it to the other side. Most don't. The cuteness that gets you cast at ten becomes a liability at twenty, and the survivors are the ones who rebuild themselves from scratch. He did, and he did it as one of five brothers who performed together as the Wakaba Brothers, which probably explains the unforced steadiness he carries. At 174 cm he is not physically imposing, and he isn't a star in the billboard sense. He's something rarer and more useful: the actor whose presence makes everyone else in the frame look like they're telling the truth.
