Casting Celebrities Into Anime/Manga Characters

1.  [+1307 / -31]
If an anime or manga was adapted into a live-action film, who do you think would suit playing the characters? Disregarding age, height, and acting ability and only basing it on face.
I think young Nagase-kun could be Mitchie from Slam Dunk!

4. [+1269 / -7]
>>1
This guy as Anzai-sensei!

73. [+417 / -26]
>>1
He could be Sakuragi Hanamichi too

85. [+415 / -4]
>>73
He's all of them


2. [+1172 / -42]
Narimiya Hiroki
Amuro Toru

121. [+182 / -27]
>>2
If he dyed his hair brown he could play Light from Death Note as well

3. [+745 / -6]
High School Kimengumi
Kato Ryo-kun

5. [+24 / -474]
Sugino-kun should play all the ikemen characters from shojo manga

10. [+149 / -13]
>>5
Don't know who that is

6. [+1812 / -25]
This please

12. [+424 / -1]
>>6
I've always thought he looked like someone
You solved the mystery w

7. [+307 / -3]
Hoshino-kun from Ojarumaru
EXILE's Naoki

8. [+81 / -1053]
I thought it would be impossible to find someone to play Rukawa Kaede from Slam Dunk but when I saw Kinpuri's Nagase Ren-kun, I thought "It's Rukawa!!".

If there's ever a live-action, I want Nagase Ren-kun to play him ♡︎

14. [+280 / -6]
>>8
They look nothing alike

23. [+204 / -3]
>>8
The downvotes w

26. [+513 / -2]
>>8
People will complain no matter who you suggest

77. [+13 / -281]
>>26
How about him?

88. [+247 / -0]
>>77
Yoshizawa Ryo fits the pretty part but he has distinct double eyelids
Rukawa has monolids

99. [+160 / -2]
>>88
Rukawa's face is the exact opposite of Yoshizawa Ryo's so it doesn't work
It's hard to find a handsome monolidded guy in real life

106. [+6 / -148]
>>88
How about this guy?

360. [+8 / -1]
>>106
That's pre-surgery GACKT!!

163. [+289 / -11]
>>88
Yokohama Ryusei has double eyelids too but his eyes are long and thin so he kind of fits

167. [+42 / -2]
>>88
This face doesn't exist in real life

192. [+444 / -4]
>>88
If Yoshizawa Ryo was in Slam Dunk, I think he'd be Fujima-kun

273. [+205 / -16]
>>88
Rukawa is young Toba Jun

367. [+100 / -1]
>>77
Yoshizawa Ryo looks more like Fujima

61. [+86 / -0]
>>8
That's Nagase Ren? Was his face like this...?

228. [+87 / -1]
Rukawa isn't a cute character
He's young but cool

9. [+19 / -100]
Hirose Suzu as Asuka from Hana no Asuka-gumi

11. [+1163 / -19]
Nakamura Tomoya-san please!

13. [+1559 / -2]

15. [+1274 / -15]

20. [+151 / -9]
Odagiri Joe as Urahara-san from BLEACH

21. [+778 / -108]
Sato Shori's acting sucks so he'll never be cast in anything but he has a Shonen manga protagonist face

30. [+443 / -1]
>>21
I thought Tanjiro's nose was running but it's the katana

31. [+123 / -5]
>>21
He's no Tanjiro

27. [+546 / -48]
Hanyu Yuzuru-san as Ikari Shinji from Evangelion!
There won't be any skating scenes though w

86. [+3 / -74]
>>27
Hmmm, but Hanyu-kun is cool. He's nothing like Shinji-kun
And Shinji-kun should be shorter and gloomier

130. [+170 / -18]
>>86
Hanyu-kun is the real Ikari Shinji
I met him when he was 17, and thought "Shinji...!!!" He was as slender as a cardboard cutout and his head size was the same.

134. [+479 / -14]
>>86
This is Kaoru-kun but...
Their proportions are similar

182. [+336 / -8]
>>27

28. [+931 / -23]
Ariel
Ariana Grande

33. [+1426 / -5]
Ichikawa Ebizō XI as Katsubushiman from Anpanman

37. [+120 / -391]
Sorry if this offends fans

39. [+179 / -1]
>>37
I'm not a fan but I don't think they look alike

38. [+1050 / -8]
Osono-san's husband in Kiki's Delivery Service

40. [+9 / -137]
If Rukawa was real, he'd probably look like a KPOP idol. He's pale and has long and thin eyes with hidden double eyelids.

43. [+560 / -150]
I prefer Imada Mio to Hashimoto Kanna

44. [+221 / -10]
Osugi Ren-san would've been good as Ikari Gendo but he died...

46. [+665 / -0]
Please play the elder Toguro

48. [+56 / -125]
Genos from One Punch Man is Gackt

49. [+260 / -76]

65. [+47 / -3]
>>49
Too photoshopped

51. [+810 / -27]

55. [+142 / -31]
Saitama

89. [+62 / -1]
>>55
Nah, he's Katsubushiman

56. [+471 / -78]
Katsuragi Misato → Matsushima Nanako

72. [+5 / -44]
>>56
She looks more like Ishihara Satomi

57. [+166 / -8]
Narita Ryo

58. [+112 / -7]
I think Hyde would've fit better than Ikuta Toma as Maki-san in Himitsu -Top Secret-

59. [+394 / -78]
Eren from Shingeki

66. [+457 / -2]
Matsuda Yusaku

71. [+273 / -8]
Takahashi Yumiko as Obatarian (*^^*)

74. [+1118 / -1]
The standard one, HagaRen's Tucker-san

76. [+424 / -10]
Gon-san from Nagi no Otoima
Odagiri Joe

78. [+576 / -3]
Looking at this thread
Doesn't it seem like Nagase Tomoya could play most of the characters in Slam Dunk?

94. [+561 / -6]
>>78
We've already got Stallone as Tetsuo

103. [+89 / -0]
>>94
Tetsuo sure has aged...

81. [+180 / -7]
In Gintama, Suzuki Ryohei was a good choice for Kondo
Okita was good too

82. [+294 / -12]
Ikari Gendo

93. [+1165 / -0]
A casting that no one would object to

277. [+10 / -10]
>>93
Olaf is Sakkun

96. [+456 / -9]
Kaname Jun
Amiba

107. [+306 / -16]
Higashikata Josuke Matsujun

108. [+571 / -0]
Himura

111. [+698 / -1]
This is the perfect casting
Or rather, there's no one but him

114. [+105 / -2]
Rukawa has hidden double eyelids. Look at Fukuda Kicchou to see what monolids look like in the Slam Dunk world.

117. [+368 / -40]

119. [+28 / -125]
Amatsuka Moe

133. [+18 / -0]
>>119
Who?

123. [+267 / -9]
Yoshizawa Ryo

126. [+80 / -185]
If Kimetsu had a live-action, the actual casting would be something like this

140. [+194 / -15]
Kondo-san from Gintama

142. [+13 / -137]
Gintama's Kamui

145. [+13 / -42]
Hey it's Matsujun

153. [+72 / -41]
Young DiCaprio as Ash from the anime version of Banana Fish!
His eyes are the wrong colour though

162. [+84 / -4]
>>153
Ash was modelled after River Phoenix so it's a perfect fit!
Leo-sama has the delicate features to make it work.

188. [+75 / -4]
>>162
I can't imagine Ash as anyone but River...

238. [+66 / -2]
>>153
He's modeled after River Phoenix
DiCaprio doesn't have that aloofness

154. [+10 / -229]
Nagase Ren's cold eyes remind me of Rukawa's though

165. [+58 / -0]
>>154
They're completely different

166. [+43 / -8]
>>166
He's too ugly to be Rukawa

184. [+54 / -0]
>>166
Their features are completely different. His face has to be narrow.

157. [+327 / -1]
Was it Kuroro that was based off HYDE?
