I'm trying to figure out the name of the actor who is on the poster ...the poster that Erika's character puts up on her wall. He's supposed to be her favorite actor, but she also uses his image to portray Takashi. This guy looks like Shunsuke Nakamura. I can't find a full cast list. Thanks in advance. I wasn't in love with the movie..a little too sappy and predictable for me. But I don't regret watching.
