Biography

Horikita Maki was born the eldest of three girls on the 6th of October 1988 in Kiyose, Tokyo, Japan. She tends to be boyish during her
childhood days, like in middle school, she enjoyed playing basketball or baseball with her friends on holidays. While she was in junior high,
she preferred to play Dragon Ball with the boys more than playing with the girls. This was because with the girls, she couldn’t play the
princess the way she wanted in the princess make-believe games.

In her junior high years, she served as student council vice-president and vice-captain of the basketball club. She was also described as the
“Boss of 3-C” in a number various writings. This was in recognition of her status as class leader. As she became more active in the
entertainment industry, she put her club and council activities on hold. Being unable to meet her many commitments, she finally withdrew from
her school activities after much deliberation, concentrating plainly on her studies and career.
Later in 2003, Horikita started to model for various advertisements and star in TV dramas and films in supporting roles. She gained much
recognition from her back to back TV dramas, Densha Otoko and Nobuta wo Produce in 2005.

Her exemplary portrayal in Nobuta wo Produce as the shy Nobuko Kotani, bagged her a Best Supporting Actress award in a Japanese
award-giving body. On the other hand, the chemistry between her character, Nobuko, commonly called as Nobuta, and Kusano Akira, played
byJapanese male idol Yamashita Tomohisa, was recognized as well, leading both of them to star in another drama, Kurosagi, in which

Horikita bagged another Best Supporting Actress award from the same award-giving body.
She is very much into reading too, having served as a special judge in a children's literature contest on March 2007[3] where Japanese idol
Ueto Aya was the previous special judge from the said event. Horikita was also applauded by about 2,000 attendees of her movie's,
Argentine Hag, premiere screening after reading an excerpt from the original novel by Banana Yoshimoto[4].
Currently, Horikita is a well adored U-20 Japanese idol, constantly appearing as a cover girl in numerous teenage magazines.

Personality

Horikita Maki has been said to posses an independent character, one that refuses to lose under any circumstance. “Even in trifle playing

around, she can become dead serious," according to acquaintances (from FLASH EX 2006 January 30 Edition).

Maki also has neutral views regarding romance. One time, in a Gout Temps Nouveau episode, Esumi Makiko asked if seeing Yamashita

Tomohisa caused her heart to start racing. Maki answered, “My co-star is someone I work with and I cannot see him in any other light.” With
regards to marriage, this is her opinion, "If one is going to marry, financial freedom is also important.” (from CIRCUS)

Nakama Yukie is a Japanese actress born on October 30, 1979 in Urasoe City, Okinawa, Japan. She is one of the rare few young Japanese celebrities that have been able to break free from their teeny-bopper image and emerge as one of the country’s most popular and well-respected actresses.
She appeared in bit roles until she appeared in “Love & Pop (1998)”. She was a ‘gravure’ (swimsuit photo book) idol for a few years until she got the lead role as Sadako for “Ring 0: Birthday (2000)”, which gave her career a big break.

Nakama afterwards starred in several TV Dramas, notably “Trick (2000)” which demonstrated her talent in comedic roles. The program was such a hit that it had two more seasons (Trick 2 (2002) and Trick 3 (2003)). However, the top-rating TV series “Gokusen (2002)”, a live-action version of the popular manga (comics), established her as one of Japan’s most bankable and popular actresses.
Her notable movies include “Ring 0: Birthday (2000)”, “Trick Movie (2002)”, “G@me (2003)”, “Shinobi: Heart Under Blade (2005)” and “Oh Oku (2006)”

Nakama is one the most watched celebrity endorsers, a regular face at billboards and subway stations, and has even served as a spokesperson for the Japanese Tax Agency and Japan Railways. She is managed by Production Ogi (Japanese celebrities are handled by talent agencies, and are rarely independent).
