5 recommended movies starring Ryo Narita! An up-and-coming actor who already shows maturity!

The Japanese film industry is full of talent. There are many actors who have great acting skills, but there are not many actors who have a ``atmosphere''. What's more, it's even rarer to find someone who has both. From this perspective, Ryo Narita's existence can be said to be unique.


Born in Narita in 1993. Masaki Suda, Ryunosuke Kamiki, Sota Fukushi, Ryoma Takeuchi, and Taiga Nakano are part of the "golden generation," but they only made their film debut in 2015, so their career history is relatively short. Despite this, I am awed by the fact that he reigns supreme as a talented young player. It can be said that this is an episode that shows his rapid growth and popularity.


In 2016, she appeared in the TV drama ``Running is Shameful but Useful'', which has become a social phenomenon, and her name recognition rose. In 2017, he appeared in the movie ``Kiseki: Sobito of That Day'' with Tori Matsuzaka, Masaki Suda, Ryusei Yokohama, and Harusuke Sugino. He refreshingly plays the role of mood maker for the music group, and also shows off his singing ability.



Having worked as an exclusive model for the fashion magazine "MEN'S NON-NO" (at the same time as Sho Kiyohara), Narita's great charm lies in her height of over 180 cm and her languid air. When choosing works, he often plays characters that have ``open spots'' that make use of their characteristics. When he appeared on a radio program, he said, ``There's a high probability that I'll get slapped in the works I appear in,'' and his position as ``a sloppy yet nice man who you can't hate'' can be said to be his best.


Narita's taste as an actor increases as he gets older - he's also looking forward to "growing his expressiveness". We have carefully selected 5 movies in which he appeared and will introduce them to you by decade.

1. “Your name is. ” (16) Director: Makoto Shinkai 107 minutes


Narita appeared in this work, which included actors Ryunosuke Kamiki, Mone Kamishiraishi, and Masami Nagasawa, after an audition. He quickly landed major roles in the early stages of his career.


A fantasy story in which Taki (Kamiki), a high school boy living in Tokyo, and Mitsuha (Kamishiraishi), a high school girl living in a rural town in Gifu Prefecture, switch places, leading to a major incident that shakes their fate. It is a historic hit, earning more than 25 billion yen, making it the fourth-highest grossing movie of all time in Japan.


Narita played Mitsuha's classmate, Teshigawara (commonly known as Tesshi). He is a person who understands Mitsuha well, and is a combination of a cold personality and a boyish warmth. He hates his situation as the son of the president of a local company and has dry feelings toward his hometown, but he also has the courage to rush to save the townspeople from danger in times of emergency.


The visual appearance of Teshigahara's shaved head is very different from Narita's, but when you listen to his voice, there is nothing strange at all. Or rather, it's to the point where you can't even tell that ``Ryo Narita is acting,'' and you can't even imagine the performer, and you'll be surprised.


In order to play this role, Narita also mastered the dialect, and this is a film that fully showcases Narita's extraordinary acting ability. Many people said they didn't realize it was Ryo Narita when it was released, so I think they'll enjoy it even more if they watch it again now.


Narita also appeared in the same role in Shinkai's `` Weathering with You '' (2019).
