Masahiro Nakai
(中居 正広, Nakai Masahiro)
born August 18, 1972 in Fujisawa, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan
Nakai is a member of the Japanese pop idol group SMAP. Known as Nakai-kun among fans, he is the oldest member and leader of SMAP.

Nakai is the youngest of three brothers. He likes baseball and is a fan of the Yomiuri Giants baseball team. As a child, his dream was to be a professional baseball player. He hosts several TV shows throughout the week, including Utaban with Takaaki Ishibashi (from the comedic duo Tunnels). He also appears as a co-host on The World's Frightening News (ザ・世界仰天ニュース) with Tsurube Shōfukutei, in which he shows an overbearing display of dark humour as he jokes about the various murder, rape, and other tragic cases that are documented. As the leader of SMAP, Nakai has the greatest TV exposure of the SMAP members insofar as variety shows go. Recently, Nakai often appears on variety shows wearing beanies; he is known for his collection of many hats and beanies.

I have just finished Nakai's Shiroi Kage and Suna no utsuwa and I was
so surprised to see him on his tv shows, he's the total opposite of his characters
I know that they are just roles but I didn't expect him to be a comedian.
I love it when I hear him laugh
