Which young actors & actresses are best fit for the roles of parents?

Anne (center) and the other mothers of "Namae wo Nakushita Megami"

This upcoming season the public is going to see two young actors portraying the role of a parent for the first time in their careers. Nishikido Ryo (26) is going to be a father in “Inu wo Kau to Iu Koto” and Anne (24) is going to play a mother in “Namae wo Nakushita Megami“.

In a recent poll on the mobile portal goo/NTT DoCoMo they recently asked their users about which young actors and actresses, including those two, would best fit the role of a parent. A fresh and pure image doesn’t necessarily help when playing the role of a parent, so the people in question should also have somewhat of a warm, level-headed and reliable aura.

Can you think of an actor and an actress that would look good as a father or mother? Check out the top 10 below!

    I agree with them.. Mukai Osamu will be the ideal dad & Miyazaki Aoi would be the ideal mom! <3 <3 <3

  • Namirin

    Hm…. I’ll go with Karina *lol* she kinda has such an aura around her ^-^

    Sho would definitely make a good dad!♥ He’s a certified childminder~!♥

  • Anonymous

    Mukai Osumu would be a hot daddy… xD
    Sho would be in the same mind as the kid… going to nursery together… :P just kidding
    Ohno from Arashi (he acted too, i think) would be soo cute to be a parent

  • MinahMyu

    Yeah he didn’t rank but I think Mokomichi Hayami looked awesome as a dad in Shinzanmono ^^ Some of the girls in the list already played moms in dramas ^^;; Too bad not many people cared too much about girls being mommys on this poll….. (compared to the guys…. numbers are a lot lower) but I guess you can tell which gender voted the most on this poll……… For a girl…. I would like to see a Hotatru/Ayase Haruka as a mom. Would be awesome!

  • NoirChoco

    Ooo I want to see Haruka being a mother!

  • NJ982

    Ryooooooooo chan lol for the mum hmmmm Aibu Saki !

  • you.are.mine

  • you.are.mine

    Ahaha. Mukai Osamu as a father? I can’t imagine it yet. He seriously does well with these polls though. His popularity is soaring. I want to see him be the lead male in a romance drama now. That would so make my day. I would love to see Eita play a father now that he is one, though. : )

    Mizushima Hiro would make a cool dad… (actually I’m waiting for him to be a dad right now… but I’m not sure if Ayaka can bear in her condition… ._.)

    totally can picture Sho-chan *the imagine of him being a childminder just won’t leave my head <3 *, besides this woudn't be a Docomo poll if he wasn't involved xD

    kinda would go for Yamamoto Yuusuke…he never acted as anything like that, but i would really like him to do so, well… he's really young, but who cares ° – ^

    agree! MASAMUNE-KUN♥

  • MinahMyu

    Well he’s 23…. lots of people are parents before that age ^^;;;; But Yuusuke always plays student rols so I’m waiting for him to break from that and play an actual adult

    Nino forever 17.. NO!

  • iLoveyoshi

    Lol, I can’t imagine Mukai Osamu as father. He is more like a big brother to me xD A really nice big brother, unlike the one I have at home =_= (xD)

  • iHeartHyde

    yeah miura’s like 21/22? and he already played a teacher! haha thats one step to becoming a parent.. oh wait he already played a teenage father so never mind.. haha

  • faifantc

    I totally forgot about that. Him being a father in AnD didn’t really leave that much of an impression on me, though. : )

  • akuma
