Mizobata Junpei is the actor who recently achieves popularity by portraying Atsushi, the protagonist in live action cell-phone novel, Akai Ito. He’s just a newbies but he already got that big role, amazing. It’s magical how he steps into stardom so fast. He started his showbiz when he won the 19^th JUNON boy competition in 2006, since then he has offers from 40 different agency, before deciding to go to Evergreen. FYI, No winning boys ever got such offer!!

Junpei was born on June 14, 1989 in Wakayama to a family of four including Parents and sister. He stands 175 cm tall and bears A blood type. He likes to play drum and soccer in his leasure time. He loves Natto and Salmon. 

His first role was in Seito Shokun, where he played student who distrust his teacher. After that, he got cute roles yet good guy. I didn’t pay so much attention to his minor role (though I was think he’s cute), but then he got this awesome role as Atsushi. He also play the main character in live action dorama (I guess), Hachi one Diver (81 Diver). His latest dorama is BOSS which broke into 20% rating show in Japan. Sugoi ne!

Junpei also designs his future well. He’d like to be a teacher when he retired from entertainment world someday. Whuaah!

I think I’ve watched too much Junpei in fooling around characters so I find it hard to accept when he finally given cool guy roles (Shinichi Kudo, Komiyama Yoh).

He’s not beautiful yet so handsome like Yamapi or Masaki Okada. He’s also “only” 175 cm tall. He looks like your normal guy next door to me. But, he’s definitely has acting talent that he could switch from one character to another.
