F4: Exposed ~ The Men Behind the Characters





This lens is about the profiles of the actors who were once a member of F4 in the different renditions of the Japanese shojo manga series, Hana Yori Dango (Boys before Flowers), by Yoko Kamio..

F4 ~ which means Flower 4 ~ is a group of 4 young rich boys who come from extremely powerful families.

Domyouji Tsukasa - The F4 leader and son of the wealthiest, most powerful family in Japan.

Hanazawa Rui - The violinist and Tsukasa's best friend.He is a quiet and cold guy, but he has a soft spot for his close friend, the model Todou Shizuka, whom he harbored feelings for since childhood.

Mimasaka Akira - the laid-back peacemaker of the group. Akira prefers older women because the women of his household (his mother and two younger sisters) are quite silly.

Nishikado Sojiro - an unrepentant playboy. Sojiro is happy to be in casual relationships with many women, although we later discover that at one time he was in love with a childhood friend.

These are the actors who played the roles of F4:

Taiwan -- Jerry Yan, Vic Zhou, Ken Chu, Vaness Wu
Japan -- Matsumoto Jun, Oguri Shun, Matsuda Shota, Abe Tsuyoshi
Korea -- Lee Min-Ho, Kim Hyun Joong, Kim Bum, Kim Joon
