{{Nihongo|'''Junichi Okada'''|岡田 准一|Okada Jun'ichi|born November 18, 1980}} is an actor, [[stage combat|fight choreographer]]<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.crank-in.net/news/83201/1|title= 『岡田准一、アクション指導者としての一面も 『ザ・ファブル 殺さない殺し屋』メイキングカット公開|access-date= January 25, 2023|work= Crank-in!|date= 18 November 2020}}</ref> and a former member of Japanese [[boy band]] [[V6 (band)|V6]].
== Early life == Okada and his sister were raised by their mother, a piano teacher, after their parents divorce, when he was in second grade in Elementary School. Since she gave classes until late at night, Okada felt lonely. He continued searching for a father-figure in all around him. When he turned 14, his mother told him, "I don't intend to rely on you for my care when I get older. So you too should become a man who can survive on your own." Growing up in a fatherless household, her words resonated deeply with him, and, in the summer of his third year of junior high school, in 1995, they were put to the test. Thanks to his mother, Okada participated in ''Johnny's Pre-School'', part of the [[Nippon Television|NTV]] program {{Nihongo|''Tensai, Takeshi no Genki ga Deru Terebi''|天才・たけしの元気が出るテレビ!!}}.<ref name="NS J.O.Interview">{{Cite web |date=24 April 2005 |title=■第461回 岡田准一 |url=http://www.nikkansports.com/ns/entertainment/interview/2005/sun050424.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050507122430/http://www.nikkansports.com/ns/entertainment/interview/2005/sun050424.html |archive-date=7 May 2005 |access-date=25 January 2026 |website=Nikkan Sports |language=Japanese}}</ref>
== Career == === Music career === Okada, who was now living on his own in Tokyo, three months after the audition for the program that got him in [[Johnny & Associates]] at the age of 14, was chosen by [[Johnny Kitagawa]], adding him to the soon–to–become idol group [[V6 (band)|V6]], of which he would be the youngest member. Unlike the rest of the members in the group, he did not have much experience as a [[Johnny's Jr.]], and the feeeling he could not advance, even with the help of the others, frustrated him.<ref name="NS J.O.Interview"/> The first time that he had been on a music program was after the debut of V6. Their debut song was "Music For the People".<ref>{{Cite web |date=2 November 2025 |title=V6、サブスク解禁記念で“同期”のゆりかもめの車両ジャック 30年の歩みを振り返る走る展示空間に |url=https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2416239/full/ |archive-url=https://archive.today/20260125042104/https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2416239/full/ |archive-date=25 January 2026 |access-date=25 January 2026 |website=Oricon |language=Japanese}}</ref>
Okada can play the guitar, as well as the piano. His voice is in the middle range. His solos usually included slower ballads. Later in his career as member of V6, he was given longer solo songs, such as "Way of Life".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B000YY68M6|title=way of life|publisher=Amazon.jp|access-date=2010-02-05|language=ja}}</ref> He also revealed that during V6's 2008 concert ''Vibes'', he was directing most of the lightning, staging, and costumes.<ref name="nhk.or.jp">{{cite web|url=http://www.nhk.or.jp/shonen-p/archive_2009.html |title=NHKオンライン |publisher=Nhk.or.jp |access-date=2013-01-06 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100131194619/http://www.nhk.or.jp/shonen-p/archive_2009.html |archive-date=2010-01-31 }}</ref>
=== Acting career === ==== Dramas==== In a [[Shounen Club|''Shounen Club'' ''Premium'']] interview on May 7, 2009, he said that the Japanese drama ''[[Kisarazu Cat's Eye]]'' caught the attention of viewers and directors, and made them aware of his acting ability.<ref name="nhk.or.jp"/> The success of the drama led to the making of two movie sequels, ''Kisarazu Cat's Eye: Nihon Series'' and ''Kisarazu Cat's Eye: World Series''. His other notable dramas include ''Tiger & Dragon'', a comedy drama about ''[[rakugo]]'', a form of Japanese comedy acted only by one person telling that story.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jdorama.com/drama_938.htm |title=Tiger & Dragon [タイガー＆ドラゴン |publisher=jdorama.com |access-date=2013-01-06}}</ref> and ''SP'' (also known as ''Security Police''), an action suspense drama about a team of [[Security Police (Japan)|security police bodyguards]] in charge of protecting important people in the government. With [[Shinichi Tsutsumi]] as his co-star, the drama drew in overall ratings of 15.35% despite its Saturday 11:00 p.m. ([[Japan Standard Time|JST]]) time slot;<ref>{{cite web|url=http://artv.info/ar0710.html#sp|title=SP drama ratings|publisher=Artv|access-date=2010-02-05|language=ja}}</ref> its special episode broadcast in 2008 also received a viewership rating of 21.5%.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tokyograph.com/news/id-2928|title="SP" special captures 21.5%|date=2008-04-07|publisher=Tokyograph|access-date=2010-02-05}}</ref>
After several years of "drama hiatus", Okada played the main character, [[Kuroda Yoshitaka|Kuroda Kanbei]], in the January 2014 [[NHK]] historical drama, {{Nihongo|''[[Gunshi Kanbei]]''|軍師官兵衛}}. Kanbei was a man of ambition who served as the chief strategist under [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] in the [[Sengoku period]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20121010-00000091-jij-soci |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130218160036/http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20121010-00000091-jij-soci |url-status=dead |archive-date=18 February 2013 |title=14年NHK大河は「軍師官兵衛」＝主演はV6岡田准一さん |date=10 Oct 2012 |publisher=Yahoo!

==== Movies ==== He made a big leap in his movie career with ''[[Tokyo Tower (film)|Tokyo Tower]]'' in 2005. In the movie he portrayed a young college student torn between his love for a lady twenty years his senior and the views society has on these kinds of relationship.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B0003052WI/|script-title=ja:東京タワー プレミアム・エディション|publisher=Amazon.jp|access-date=2010-02-05|language=ja}}</ref> After that came ''[[Hana (film)|Hana]]'', directed by [[Hirokazu Koreeda|Hirokazu Kore-eda]]. In the movie, Okada portrayed Sōza, a samurai uninterested in killing his enemy and focused on what he could do today to be a better person instead. The movie earned him a nomination for the [[Blue Ribbon Awards]], but he declined this nomination.<ref>{{cite web|title=渡辺謙 ベルリンから駆けつける|url=http://cinemahochi.yomiuri.co.jp/b_award/2006/|publisher=Cinemahochi|date=13 Feb 2007|access-date=19 June 2011|archive-date=1 April 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140401071233/http://cinemahochi.yomiuri.co.jp/b_award/2006/|url-status=dead}}</ref> Nevertheless, he was awarded the Ishihara Yujiro New Actor Award at [[Nikkan Sports Film Award]] for his role in ''Hana''.<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0645411/awards Jun'ichi Okada - Awards - IMDb<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Later, he was involved in movies such as ''[[Flowers in the Shadows]]'', portraying a young man in debt because of [[pachinko]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1167845/|title=Kagehinata ni saku (2008) - IMDb|author=8thSin|date=26 January 2008|work=IMDb|access-date=5 January 2015}}</ref> and {{Nihongo|''Otonari''|おとなり}}, an unconventional love story between two neighbors who have never met each other and only follow the other person's life through the sounds they hear from the other side of the wall.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=GNBD-7593|title=Oto, Na, Ri (Otonari)|publisher=CD Japan|access-date=2010-02-05}}</ref>
