Fame comes with a Price!

The current hit movie Densha Otoko has brought
Yamada Takayuki's status to a whole new level, but fame comes
with a price, causing reporters to dig up his past and background!

Yamada was born in Okinawa but grew up in Kagoshima. Apart from his
parents, he also has 2 elder sisters (previously reported to be born in
Kagoshima with only 1 sister!). Parents run an Italian restaurant & 2nd sister is R&B singer Sayuki.

Yamada moved to Tokyo during high school 3rd grade. He got into the
entertainemnt industry from auditions. Unfortunately schooling and
acting clashed so he dropped out of school to give acting his full force!
His first roll was in Psychometrer eiji 2. Until recent years he got really popular!
