Hi, everyone!

I'm also a vampire knight fan ^ ^

Not sure if anyone created this thread yet delete this if so but

anyways, my question to you guys is if Vampire Knight were adapted into a live action drama series or movie, who would you cast as each character?

what I think

Kaname Kuran: Akanishi Jin from Kat Tun

Zero Kiryuu: Hayami Mokomichi from absolute bf or Uchi Hiroki I couldn't decide ><

Yuuki Cross: Maki Horikita from Hana Kimi

Hanabusa Aidou: Ikuta Toma from Hana Kimi

the rest I have no clue LOL

what do you guys think??

I'll post some pics later if I can find some but feel free to contribute pics and opinion ^ ^


Maki Horikita


Akanishi Jin


Hayami Mokomichi


Ikuta Toma

[Mirae-chan]

xDDDDD!

Yuuki - Maki Horikita or Yamapi (he's got the moobs! xD!)


Zero - Yamapi or Maki Horikita


Kaname - Akanishi Jin or Kamenashi Kazuya


Aido - Ikuta Toma


Rima - Erika Toda (.. just because of the pigtails made her pop to my mind. xD)


may add more as I think of them? xD

[cherri82crystal]

lolol...jus for fun, i would pick:

yuki-maki definetly
kaname-Mizushima Hiro?
zero-Haruma Miura?
aido-Kanata Hongo!!?Daito Shunsuke?
Akatsuki Kain-oguri shun?Ken'ichi Matsuyama? :/
Senri Shiki-Yamamoto Yusuke? Kanata Hongo?



Haruma Miura^^



Kanata Hongo~

[Mish@]

WOW that pic you found of her looks exactly like yuuki
like what she wearing suit it alot

I would love Jin to be kaname his so hottttttt





thanks you guys all for the contribution ^ ^

I hope this never happens.

As much as I hate Vampire Knight it has a very dark side to it and the characters would have to have alot of chemistry because the male characters are potrayed so sexy, this would get downplayed in the live action for sure.

[SakuraSatoshi]

Wo taht'd just be amazing, and its funny how unanimously we all think so far that Maki is the perfect Yuuki xD she really does look like her ._. And wow i never really noticed the resemblance between Kaname and Bakanishi, but Jin seems too funny for the role of Kaname o_o even though her REALLY looks the part xD

[maharu.]

ughhh not maki again. Everyone says maki for EVERY live action...
I would prefer Kitano Kii to play Yuuki if it ever were to be live action.
I like her angst attitude way more than maki could ever do.

[13infamyss]

you guys just mentioned the HOTTEST japanese STARS EVERRR to be casted in this live action drama. how awesome could it be if the ones you recommended would get together for this drama adaptation.

i dropped reading VK as vampires story is not really my thing but I`d love to watch it if it ever gets drama-tized and also with awesome casts like this

[Justalilodreamer]

i think it would be extremely cheesy everyone would look like they're just cosplaying and the fighting scenes would turn it into something like sailor moon live (....which was the corniest thing i've ever seen in my life). The Twilight movie might have worked out since the story had more realistic elements but VK ... would be a major disaster.

Plus, the live would never do the manga justice. It would be hard to make it as beautiful as the manga's art.

ughhh not maki again. Everyone says maki for EVERY live action...

HAHAHA so true!!




sorry it seems like im raining on everyone's parade =(

rofl. i guess people can't help it. if they're used to seeing certain of people in certain roles.
hmmm.... for me i wouldn't mind seeing ikuta toma taking on the role of zero.

haha yeh I know because of the hair colour white, silver and etc that is not natural hair colour

but I think besides taking the hair thing and maybe those anime emotion things out it will be alright to be a real life action series

hmm don't know if you seen my date with a vampire series and twins effects

the effect is alright showing vampires forms and stuff

there are many other tvb series involved demons and stuff they all turned out ok

so if vampire knight become a live thing it wouldn't be as bad if they don't include the anime act and stuff as much

[alic3.]

for some reason i imagined hero from dbsk to be Kaname (maybe cuz i'm a fan xD) , but i definately agree with the other choices for the other characters

[Amethist]

I'm a fan of both Vampire Knight as well as all actors you've mentioned (okay except for Hayami Mokomichi because I've never seen a drama of him before) , but I don't agree with all of them a 100%..

Kaname Kuran: Akanishi Jin from Kat Tun <- switch Jin with Hayami..Kamenashi Kazuya could also make a good Kaname in the face, but I'm doubting about his posture.. Shirota Yuu could also be a fitting actor for either this role or the role of Kain..

Zero Kiryuu: Hayami Mokomichi from absolute bf or Uchi Hiroki I couldn't decide >< <- switch Hayami with Jin.

Yuuki Cross: Maki Horikita from Hana Kimi <- good one, though for me it will always be Maki Horita from Nobuta wo Produce ..

Hanabusa Aidou: Ikuta Toma from Hana Kimi <- good one, though I'd like to see Oguri Shun , Kato Shigeaki or Koike Teppei pulling of that role as well..

Btw it could turn out good..Heck Buffy the Vampire Slayer turned out awesome, and that's a 'live action' tv series with vampires in it (one also having white blonde hair XD)..

[LucasBunny]

^You can't compare this to Buffy being live action
the manga has alot of sexiness in it, and in jdramas when actors (especially male and female) have to be romantically involved it is always so cheesy and they act like they are afraid to touch each other.

Like I said I hate vampire knight, but the creator gave a sexy aura to it which is one of the very few things I really liked about it.

for some reason i imagined hero from dbsk to be Kaname (maybe cuz i'm a fan xD) , but i definately agree with the other choices for the other characters

HELL TO THE NO!

[cherri82crystal]

^ROFL DEFINETLY NOTT......................

I completely agree with you. I saw the Sailor Moon live action too...that was too horrible for words. I don't want VK to turn out the same way.

[b06]

hmm....nice anime but i personally wouldn't want this as a live drama plus maki is sort of getting on my nerves these days and i'm getting tired of watching her. i do agree it might be a little tooo cheesy if it's turn into a drama, sorry if this offend anyone but i'm just stating my personal opinion.

[LemoN - AidE]

Based solely on these pictures, Kim Dong Won would make a good Kaname. His hair, pose, clothes and mood in this shoot give off that feel.

anyone else agree?




and i'm not saying I would want him as him, he just looks like him in here.

[peanISclueless]

WHY???!!!
WHY must it always be Maki???
I'm tired of seeing her act in almost all of the dramas....
I'm not offending anyone....
I do like her but too much isn't good.....

[A m a r a n t h]

Those kim dong wan pics are convincing
but i have to admit akanishi just super super fits the part
dong wan is a little older looking

Zero Kiryuu: Hayami Mokomichi?????? NOOOOOOOOO he's too dark? LOL
