I'm still reading the backpages to keep up with the latest about TK ... funny but I go when I come across postings that mention his dramas in Japanese titles ... not familiar with them as yet that I need to read the reviews which have the titles translated ... but I dont mind at all.
I'm sure many of you here who came much earlier than I did are aware of how TK started his career & how it developed into what it is now. I'm curious & would like to read more about him ... if anyone could help me on this, I will be truly grateful.
Maybe ... you are not alone. I'm sure I'm senior to many of our fellow TK fans in this thread .... we are living proofs that Takuya captivates not only the young ones but also the young once.
hey Maribelle...great post...there's alot of things I don't know about Takuya either...I mean I watched his dramas but about how his career started, I'm not very sure...I found a career timeline, maybe u'll be interested in checking it out
In 1987, he was taken on by the Johnny's Jimusho talent agency, which specializes in handsome young male idols, and became a member of Johnny's Junior. One of his relatives had sent in the application. He was in a Jr. unit called "Skate Boys". Skate Boys used to be backup dancers of Hikaru Genji, which at the time was a popular group.
In 1988, SMAP (Masahiro Nakai, Takuya Kimura, Goro Ingaki, Katsuyuki Mori, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, Shingo Katori) was created. Although all SMAP members were in a dorama in 1988, Takuya's father didn't like his son working in the entertainment industry.
In 1989, Takuya was in a play called Modoken. When Takuya's father came to see the play, he was impressed by his son's acting ability, and urged his son to pursue his career.
In 1990, he was in a drama called "Brother, sister, I don't wanna die!" He starred as a sick boy.
In 1991, his dream was realized when SMAP debuted with a single called "Can't Stop!! ~Loving." However, SMAP was not very popular for a Johnny's Idol Group at that time. Their debut single wasn't a success, and when they had their first concert, the hall was almost empty.
SMAP slowly gained popularity through a variety program called �����uSMAP, though.
1993 was a year of opportunity for SMAP and Takuya. He was in a drama called Asunaro Hakusho, which was a huge hit. In that drama, he starred as Osamu Toride, an university student who is in love with a girl called Narumi Sonoda. Toride was portrayed as a shy guy who only cares about one girl.
SMAP also got more popular with a single called $10. Hikaru Genji was not as popular anymore and it was time for SMAP to get the spotlight.
In 1994, Kimutaku Syndrome made this newcomer a superstar. But in reality, he hates being called Kimutaku and has asked his fans not to call him that.
He was voted the Favorite Guy by Japanese women's magazine "AnAn", and was also voted as the Best Jeanist. So far, he has been voted the favorite guy 12 times consecutively and will not be included from next year.
In 1995, he was also in a movie called �N��Y��Ȃ�, which gained people's attention.
In 1996, a drama called Long Vacation made him even more popular. He was a young shy pianist called "Sena" who falls in love with an older girl who used be a model. 'Long Vacation' topped the TV ratings, and ever since, every drama of Takuya has become a big hit.
SMAP then started a variety show called 'SMAP X SMAP' which made SMAP even more popular.
In 1997, he was in two dramas. 'Gift' and 'Love Generation." Love Generation topped the ratings and was very popular. Gift was criticized in some ways because some people thought it encouraged teenage crime.
In 1999, he broke up with his longtime girlfriend, Kaorin. He and Kaorin were together for nine years, but Kaorin dumped Takuya because she was tired of being 'Kimutaku's girlfriend.' Takuya was very sad about it.
With the success of TV drama Beautiful Life, in 2000, he was at the peak of his popularity when he announced his marriage with 'Shizuka Kudo,' an idol singer. Of course, his fans were shocked and angered. Shizuka was pregnant when they announced their marriage. Many people thought Takuya Kimura's career would finish with his marriage.
In 2001, however, Takuya proved that he was not finished yet with a drama called Hero. Hero set a record with its very high TV ratings.
In 2001, his first daughter, Kokomi, was born and his second daughter, Mitsuki, was born in 2003. Takuya is still very popular. He was in many dramas after Hero, such as Sorakara Furu Ichiokuno Hoshi, Good Luck!!, and Pride.
He was also in a movie called '2046' as Tak, and voice actor of Howl in Hayao Miyazaki's animation Howl's Moving Castle.

Thanks Ashley for being so kind & thoughtful ... your reply is indeed very helpful...and now I'm even more curious about Takuya's career & personal life. It's amazing that even after he settled down & with two kids, he is able to maintain his stature as a superstar ... and that's because he is multi-talented & has a lot of offer. I hope he continues to work hard not only for his supporters but also to be a good example to his fellow actors especially the younger ones who look up to him as a model.
I tend to write kilometric postings which is seldom done in this thread ... please bear with me .... when it comes to Takuya, it seems that there's a lot to say.
I am hopelessly addicted to dramas, and this time I already look forward to another heartwarming drama of Takuya ... really hoping that he'll do one soon. I have not seen Engine yet ... but the theme seems to be different from Pride which is more on romance. Whatever, it starred Takuya & so it's worth watching .... maybe!
