[karadinart]

Here is a beauty, in makeup and out, Japan's rising star, he's 19! He became known for being an onnagata (female role specialist in the more popular theater of Kyogen (less structured than Kabuki) and if he's great now, imagine him in his prime, give about 20 years!

clips of him dancing (as a man-with his new passion for tap dancing)

Still one of his best performances as onnagata - in full

WOW He is truly breathtaking in both the vids! I love the second one in particular - he moves so seamlessly.

And only 19 and this spectacular ... *jaw drops*
