Horikita, Maki
One of the J-dorama’s I’ve finished watching last year was Hanazakari no Kimitachi e (Hana Kimi). I was smitten by the pure kawaiiness of the lead female. She now, tops the kawaii spot on my list. A round face with a short bob cut hair, defines cute.
Maki Horikita (堀北真希, Horikita Maki) born on October 6, 1988, in Kiyose, Tokyo. She started as a U-15 idol by starring in a number of J-Doramas. She’s an accomplished TV and movie actress, a radio show host, a photobook model, and appeared on numerous magazines. Now she’s already a U-20 idol.

A breakthrough in her acting career was when she starred in the Japanese drama series Nobuta. O Produce (2005) bagging the Best Supporting Actress. And when she portrayed as Mizuki Ashiya in the J-dorama, Hanazakari no Kimitachi E (2007), which won her Best Actress.
