Sorimachi is mostly famous for his portrayal of Onizuka Eikichi in the live-action drama adaptation of the popular manga series "GTO", and the assassin O in Hong Kong action film "Fulltime Killer".
At the age of 15, while attending high school, Sorimachi began modeling under his original name, Noguchi Takeshi. He later dropped out of the school and his ambitions led him to the famous Johnny's agency in the late '80s. Under Johnny's, he served as a backing dancer for the idol boy-band, Hikaru Genji, along with the future members of SMAP. He later changed direction and moved into modeling. He graced the covers of popular magazines and did catwalk shows in Tokyo and Europe. During that period, in private, he went to a boxing gym, worked on bodybuilding and engaged in creative activities such as writing lyrics.
Sorimachi established his acting career by joining Ken- On, one of the biggest talents management companies in Japan, in the spring of 1994. The president of Ken-On changed his stage name to Sorimachi Takeshi, inspired by the name of famous professional boxer Sorimachi Ryu of Noguchi Boxing Gym. Subsequently, Sorimachi made his debut as an actor in the TV drama "Maido Gomennasai" in July 1994. From 1997 to 1998, he appeared in many popular works such as "Virgin Road", "Beach Boys" and "GTO", which gained high audience ratings. In particular, "GTO" recorded a maximum audience rating of 35.7% and became a big hit. His notable recent work is the role of Kaburagi Wataru, the 4th generation partner of Sugishita Ukyo from TV Asahi's long running "Aibou" series.
Sorimachi also enjoyed a successful stint as a singer. His debut single, "Forever", co-written with Ritchie Sambora, was released in 1997. "Forever" reached 3rd place in Oricon charts and served as the theme song for the drama "Beach Boys". He had released other hit singles "ONE", composed by Himuro Kyosuke and "POISON" which was the theme song for his masterpiece drama "GTO". He suspended his music activities in 2001, leaving behind three original albums and two live albums in which he wrote all the lyrics.
On February 21, 2001, Sorimachi Takeshi married actress Matsushima Nanako who he co-starred with in "GTO". The two started dating in November 1999, about a year after the filming of "GTO" ended. The marriage took place shortly after his final live performance at at ZEPP TOKYO. The next day, Sorimachi and Matsushima reported their marriage to the fans on Sorimachi's official website and held a press conference together at Fuji TV's studio. The couple were at the peak of popularity by the time of their marriage and hence dubbed "The Heisei Big Couple". Their eldest daughter was born on May 31, 2004 and the second daughter on November 30, 2007.
Sorimachi's hobby of bass fishing is well known and boasts multiple accolades. He was also a talented soccer player. During the junior high school, he passed youth trial for Verdy Kawasaki (now Tokyo Verdy 1969) which is one of the most decorated football clubs in Japan.", "image": "https://i.hndrama.com/image/people/2PWVd_5c.jpg" }, { "@type": "Person", "name": "Asari Yosuke", "alternateName": "浅利陽介", "birthDate": "August 14, 1987", "nationality": "Japanese", "description": "Yosuke Asari is a Japanese actor, born on Friday, August 14, 1987, in Tokyo, Japan.", "image": "https://i.hndrama.com/image/people/0rgOE_5c.jpg" }, { "@type": "Person", "name": "Moriguchi Yoko", "alternateName": "森口瑤子", "birthDate": "August 5, 1966", "nationality": "Japanese", "description": "Moriguchi Yoko is a Japanese actress.", "image": "https://i.hndrama.com/image/people/dmWzz_5c.jpg" }, { "@type": "Person", "name": "Mizutani Yutaka", "alternateName": "水谷豊, みずたに ゆたか, 미즈타니 유타카, 水谷豐, 水谷丰, Yutaka Mizutani, Мидзутани, Ютака", "birthDate": "July 14, 1952", "nationality": "Ashibetsu, Hokkaido, Japan", "description": "Mizutani Yutaka, born in Ashibetsu City, Hokkaido, is a Japanese actor and singer. Mizutani was raised from the age of 8 in Tokyo, Japan. He started acting at the age of 12 when a neighbor introduced him to a children's acting school in the area. When he discovered that going to an acting school wasn't the same as meeting the people he admired on TV, he wanted to quit, but by that time he had been selected to play a small role in 'Vampire', a television movie being filmed by Fuji Television. This role launched his reluctant career, and though he purposely took several years off work to try studying, his failure to get into university urged him to continue in the acting business. It was after the age of 20 when his career as an actor finally took off. His first major drama was in 1974, called Kizu Darake no Tenshi (Battered Angel). At the moment Mizutani stars in a regular TV Asahi detective drama called Aibou (??) with actors Terawaki Yasufumi and Oikawa Mitsuhiro. In addition to acting, his agency also encouraged him to put out music albums starting from 1977, all of which sold very well. His last album was released in 2009 (Time Traveler). Mizutani was once married to an American actress by the name of Miki MacKenzie. They divorced soon afterward. He is now married to ex-pop-idol Ran Ito from the 1970s singing group Candies. He has one daughter.
