Doumyouji Tsukasa vs Hanazawa Rui
Doumyouji Tsukasa vs Hanazawa Rui
As I experienced in other forums that Rui was rather popular among manga fans I'd now like to know your opinion. Whom do you like better and why?
My personal favourite is Doumyouji, Doumyouji and again Doumyouji! I love his strength and his straight forwardness, his unconditional love, his innocence, his faithfulness, his looks, and I especially love him for never giving up on his one and only love. He's a person that knows what he wants and he's always willing to fight for it. As much as I'm of the opinion love means to wish your beloved the best of all I also think it's a great proof of love to do anything in the world to make the person of your desire love you back.
How I wish to meet a person like him... *sigh*
Now it's your turn!

I haven't read the manga, so I'm voting based on what I've seen so far from the drama. I'm with you too, Doumyouji all the way. I actually think Rui's boring. Doumyouji makes me laugh, and especially in episode 3... he's so funny and cute. Ummm, I wouldn't say he's hot though, sorry. In fact, I think Oguri Shun looks much better than Matsumoto Jun, but when it comes to which character is better, Doumyouji is WINNAH!

Personnaly , I luve both of them , akakak , [serious] uhm At the begin when I've just started reading this manga , argh just hate that Tsukasa ... arrogant , bad tempered , although he's rich but it's not the reason to be so unrespect to the others around him !! and Rui was , uhm .... oaaa , mysterious , cold , kind ,and all , akaka , fallen for him ? of course , akakak xD Yepppp But , it was the begining , akakak ....... and now wat ? as faras I read this manga , i've found that our Tsukasa was not that bad , hix can't help myself but sometime i just felt guilty for him really luve the way he shows how he likes our Makino , kawaiiiii , [beside Jun plays it incredibly wel !!!! yaaaa] ; and Rui ? yup dun't know why but after seeing him in HYD drama , don't like him anymore , hix hix , is that cuz of Shun's acting ? agree that his acting talent is awnsome , but Rui is not exactly the img i've had when I first read the manga HYD .... although i've fallen for him before ..
Totally agree with Kathleen , Tsukasa is the one who can give up everything for the one he loves , someone like him , maybe you find him sometime just so stupid , the way he speaks , his bad tempered and all , but , in deep , he's just someone being in love and they're always doing stupid things , right ? , akakak , our Makino is so luckyyy
===> 1 vote for Tsukasa =)
Ps , sorry Rui , .................

DOUMYOJI~~!! He's always been my favourite in Hana Yori Dango. To be honest, I have never liked Rui, I was always too busy going on about how cool/hot/loving/adorable Doumyoji was to ever give Rui proper light of day lol ...but ever since I first started reading Hana Yori Dango, I have been pro-Doumyoji. You just can't help but be touched by his unconditional love for Tsukushi and his persistence in trying to get her to like him. Hehehe. You gotta love that. And the fact that he loved Tsukushi and only her throughout the entire series, he never gave any other girl a second glance. I love that fact. Rui was like preoccupied with Shizuka most of the time...but Doumyoji...sigh. If only...
Man, I remember getting so pissed off about how Tsukushi kept liking Rui, when Doumyoji was like WAYY better lol...even though he did mean things, you can tell that his true thoughts were otherwise. Hehe. Aww. I have a sudden urge to go read Hana Yori Dango again >_<;;

Hehe, yeah. Somehow, like Tsukushi, when you read Hana Yori Dango you can't help but fall in love with his character too...TragicKingdom wrote:Definitely Doumyouji. I couldn't help but love him more and more as the manga continued.
lols.. i'd only seen hanadan anime.. have to admit.. when i very 1st watch it.. no feelings for any body.. like rui abit.. then after like 2-3epis.. love domyoji.. never even think abt the rest ever since.. wahahas.. yupps that's when i was watching the anime..
the drama rocks btw.. gotta go dl the 3rd epi now.. ^^

Wow, icyblue_flame, that picture is like perfect for this thread. And btw, I too certainly love Doumyouji for being a big jerk. xD
@ Nomanymore: I remember I found it unnverving at times that he was always so self-centered. But then again, if he wasn't I wouldn't like him as much as I do now. (I have a thing for the bad guy type.)
@ TragicKingdom: Funny enough Rui got the most votes for the favourite character in the last official poll. I was surprised, too. He becomes kind of cool and friendly as the series continues but I cannot understand how anyone could choose him over Doumyouji as we learn so much about Doumyouji that I can't help but love him.
@ blushyy: GREAT someone participates who never read the manga. And you're making me really happy since you prefer Doumyouji although you don't know much about him yet. Thank you!
@ evercute: I understand so well what you mean. Same for me. Especially when I watched the anime and
@ heppy: Same goes probably for everybody. I couldn't love anybody at first sight, especially not a fictional character. ^^; I think it took me 3 episodes to come to like Doumyouji, which was probably when he came to rescue her from Asai and co's bullying.
Now if the 3 people who voted for Rui please stand up! Don't worry, just because the Doumyouji party kind of outnumbers you we won't do you any harm, promise.

he is my favoutite manga character in my favourite manga!! he is just great and I love how his characters gets more mature as the manga continues!!
I perfectly feel the same towards him btw. It'd be too boring if he was both nice on the inside and on the outside, too. Hehehe. I do find his childish spots quite charming though.

Yes! A Lei/Rui fan!
I haven't really been following the J-version of this series, but Lei/Rui's character was definitely the one I fell in love with. I have to say that from the J-drama, I might actually not like Lei/Rui as much, but that's just a personal preference. It's going to make a big difference depending on how these characters are portrayed to the audience, but it was Lei/Rui's gentle and sophisticated demeanor and the quiet way of loving his girl, even if he doesn't get her in the end, that totally won me over.

i LOVE jun's doumyouji to bits, but vic's rui in mg was also pretty good (well in any case, all through mg i was hoping tsukushi would get with rui instead of doumyouji...). but still, i think my love for jun's doumyouji in hyd surpasses anything else, so i can't help but vote for doumyouji. in the manga, i liked both their characters, but after a while i did hope that tsukushi would end up with doumyouji and not rui ^^

Tanihara Shosuke played Tsukasa in the HYD movie. >_>... the movie is err.... I don't like it so much ^^;;
EDIT: I loved Vic Zhou in MG. Eventhough I'm a tsukasa fan, Vic was better than Jerry Yan imo. ^__^

Gosh, Naohito as Rui? It´s perfect!!!!!!
Well... OF COURSE, DOUMYOJI TSUKASA!!!!!!
As Kathleen said before... well, she said everything already!!!!
Why do I prefer Doumyoji?Here it is...
Cause he´s agressive outside but inside, he´s sweet and gentle. Cause he does anything for the one he loves, cause he never thought about anyone else the whole manga except for Tsukushi. Cause even knowing Tsukushi had a crush on Rui, he was persistant and tried to do all he could just to win her heart. Cause he did the most adorable and romantic things to prove his love to Tsukushi. And cause he´s damn good-looking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And why I do not like Rui? (so much)
Cause he´s too cold, too quiet, and not funny at all. Cause anything he did to help Tsukushi was not a proof of love, I guess it´s more some kind of friendship´s proof. Cause Rui is totally different from Doumyoji. It´s enough.

DOUMIYOUJI !!
From the drama on taiwanese version, manga, and now the japanese drama. DOUMIYOUJI all the way!!!
I love his strange way to express love. His naive nature, and the fact that no matter how cruel he is, he is so sweet if it's regarding Tsukasa.

TSUKASA!!!!
Tsukasa Doumyoji.... of course...
I just can't say all the things that make me like him in this post...
I like read mangas and watch animes and Dramas...
I like a lot of this different history..
But i like more HYD...
and is all because Doumyoji....
I like him because.. he is different.. He isn't cool and smart or perfect...
He was a lot of bad points...
But truly... he is a kid..
on he is generosity, he is sincerity... he intensity...
I like him because he truly loves someone and can do anything because of this..
everybody said what in Rui isn't god as tsukasa..
I like Rui a lot too... the way he can love so selfless...
But i can't like him more... I can't cheer him for tsukushi..
Because Tsukasa loves so much her.. that hurts in my heart when he is sad.
I cheer for Doumyoji.. I like he push way of doing things... hiding his kindness with his pride...
doing things that make you cry all day
thinking " Where do i get some like him??? "
"why tsukasa is not real?"

Jun's Domyoji of course!
I'm not the manga or MG fan though I've skimmed through both. I can't help but be influenced by who's playing the roles. jerry's domyoji totally did nothing for me. But Jun brought Domyoji alive. Or rather his depiction of Domyoji is just irresistable and charismatic and interesting and 3 dimensional.
Rui's character is just too boring! both by zaizai and shun. but maybe it's not their fault... Somehow in this hyd, i get really irritated when they put on this rui image with a soft tacky 'prince charming' glow... bleah... ok, mr. tacky silver tuxedo just doesn't strike a chord with me. thank god jun didn't end up with rui's role... zzz...
off topic:
between jun and domyoji (if there's such a guy), i'd go for jun 10000000000%. domyoji is interesting to watch. but i don't suffer idiots, even baka kawaii ones...

Tsukasa Doumyouji!! <33333333333333333333
even tho Rui has charm and looks - Tsukasa is gorgeous,sexy sweet, a bad boy at first look but we all know what really inside - a guy that will love you like crazy - i just fell in love with in the anime so i was already in love with him in the dorama (and of course im a fan of MatsuJun <3 who is perfect for Tsukasa character!).

so based on the characters right? not the actors? i have never read the manga, so i don't really know what Tsukasa or Rui are like. at first, the quiet and cool one always catches my attention, but in the end, when the arrogant, loud mouth boy turns soft & become all cute & innocent... you just gotta love them. so honestly, i still can't choose, if Rui wasn't play by Shun, i wouldn't have a hard time choosing. i love them both.
*has fuzzy feelings afer reading makino_sanbr's post* Totally of your opinion. *sigh* Same goes for what shiruchan wrote.
I can't stop watching
As for the "prince charming glow", I think they tried to make his character a little more interesting and outstanding as they cannot afford to show a deeper view throughout like 10 episodes. I personally like him in the drama, although he's still kind of in my way since I'm always drooling over Doumyoji / Tsukushi scenes.
I can't stop watching
Lol! He's got a new name! Anyways, I'm surprised with myself to say that but: VERY WELL SPOKEN!! There can't be a better actor for Doumyouji's part anyway (again: the scream!! Awwww!!!) so let's all make a happy face and sing a paean!ok, mr. tacky silver tuxedo just doesn't strike a chord with me. thank god jun didn't end up with rui's role...

i haven't really gotten far with the manga yet and well.. just watched episode 3 of the dorama^^
hum... well i must say I like Rui a bit better than Tsukasa...
I just like introverted characters who don't really show much of their (true?) self to other people, and who are hard to see through. for me personally, it's too easy to guess what Tsukasa's thinking at (almost) any time
uuh i'm too fond of mysterious men ;D
well not that i don't like tsukasa as well but rui is just....................... rui '

I always liked Doumyouji better, in the manga i tho Rui was far too boring and when i watched meteor garden i had same impression (even tho i really love ZaiZai) and now on Hana Yori Dango Live i think Rui isnt that boring but Doumyouji still is my favorite, because he is so sttuborn and fight for what he loves and etc etc like u all said before.
So is Doumyouji all the way!!

Tsukasa is one of my favorite manga/anime (and drama now) guys, so of course, I voted for him. His personality quirks are just so endearing, and I love the stubborn but honest type of guy he is.
Rui has some very very cute personality quirks too, such as his deadpan way of saying strange things (which I have a weakness for in fictional characters ), his sleeping habits, and his (complete lack of) driving skills. However, most of those were introduced too late after I became attached to Tsukasa for me to prefer him.
I think the problem was that in making Rui seem too "mysterious"/ almost tragic, he often came across as too boring. I really don't mind the silent type, but they have to be suffiently weird for me to really really love them; there has to be a sort of disconnect from normality that makes the way they play off regular people fun. I guess since Kamio was molding him as a love interest, she didn't want to go too far with that aspect in the beginning.
Whereas, with Tsukasa, there is just something very sweet about a character who sort of...how to put it...makes himself out to be more than he is. He is a great guy in a lot of important respects, but he is not as incredible as he pretends he is, which is why his interactions with Tsukushi are so fun. I'm glad to see that the drama has managed to match that interesting brand of chemistry even with the time limit they have.

I like Rui just fine as long as he stays within friendship parameters. As a love interest, he's sigularly irritating to me, because it's like all the fun stuff about him just gets sucked out with a straw, because he has to be a "serious" love interest.Kathleen wrote:I also agree to what you wrote about Rui which is why I came to like him only in the latter volumes.

"I like Rui just fine as long as he stays within friendship parameters."
The same here...
I think that i wouldn't like so much HYD if Rui was the one who be together with Tsukushi...

Doumyouji!!! I dont know why we girls are suckers for bad boys who are head over heels in love.. Well, actually, in the Taiwan Drama, I like Rui's character more, Lei-- probably coz of his looks and the handstand scene. I even had his picture on my phone all the time that my fiance then (hubby now) got really jealous.. haha.. But in this dorama, I like Doumyouji more... maybe coz of Jun... Yup, confirms i'm a sucker for pretty boys too.. Not that Rui isnt a pretty boy too but I guess what drove me to like Doumyouji more is the intensity of his stare. From his stare, you'd know how passionate he felt about Tsukushi while Rui wasnt really like that, even to the girl he really loved (forgot her name, the model...)
Doumyouji all the way! Yay!

I would've liked Rui if not for the scene where he grabs Makino and holds her for awhile before pushing her to the ground (in the anime). "Hey. Do you have a thing for me or something? *grin*" Grrrrr...(to me, he toys with Makino's feelings too much)
I think I'm kinda late into this topic, but I was hoping for a Doumyouji vs Hanazawa topic! My friend's a Rui fan and I support Doumyouji, sooo it's fun discussing it ^^
By the way, did any of you guys watch the second episode of the live action yet?

Tsukasa!!!
Definitely. At first I was rooting for Rui, but after the story continued you can't help but fall in love with Tsukasa.

I'm one of those girls who are attracted to all different types of individuals.
Both have deeming qualities and are attractive in different ways.
Therefore........I have no choice but to choose both of them.
Gomene.........Tsukasa is passionate about love while Rui needs to be loved.
what I chose is the easy way out and yes I'm a coward, but can't I have both?
Now I know how Makino felt throughout the drama, being in love with Rui yet how she couldn't help but be unknowingly attracted to Tsukasa.
Ever since the manga, the Taiwanese F4 version, and now MatsuJun/Shun version, I never could choose between Doumyouji Tsukasa and Hanazawa Rui.
-Indecisiveness has always my been my greatest flaw........

maybe it's just me. But I didn't fall for Rui until later, when he helped makino through her problems with doumyouji. I love him because he's kinda sweet for helping the person he actually love to be with someone she love.
But in the first few episodes i find it hard to like him because he was so indecissive and (for me, don't kill me all rui's fan!) he didn't look like a man at all.

i use to be a doumyouji fan ...esp in the manga and anime ....but after Meteor Garden and now the new drama ...... i love Lei/Rui ............esp Shun's Rui... he looks so much like him ... his eyes are beautiful his voice is powerful.....i can see why Makino likes him
Rui's not boring he's just different ....quiet guys have a wild side....well at least that what i've experience so thats what i see when i watch or read about that character

Rui all the way!!
he's someone that's quiet and secretive. someone that takes awhile to earn their respect and let you in their life. i also have a thing for musicians and he's a violinst (which is the instrument i play too). he's compassionate, intellegent, and understanding. plus he loves sleeping which is one of my favorite things to do.
anyway, i do like both characters and i feel that Doumyouji is better for Makino than rui. So i've always rooted for doumyouji.. i just like rui's personality.

I didn't like domyouji in the beginning of the anime.. he was a jerk.. then he became crazy...maybe psychotic that it was scary and freaky. but i had a change of heart ever since he asked makino out at the airport (makino didn't hear it because of the noise from the airplane). the things he would do for makino are just too sweet and considerate.
What's got Makino to do with the question? Err... anyways, I'm also one of those who liked Doumyouji from the beginning. There are actually a lot of fans who never "fell" for Rui. I always thought him to be too cold and boring (yes, sorry to use this word - I know he may not be to you but he sure lives in his own world and sleeps too much for my taste ^^;) and I couldn't see how Tsukushi was always oh so grateful about his help during the time she was bullied whereas she hardly ever mentioned such things as Doumyouji saving her times like 3 or 4 times. -_-
@sadotsu: I don't wanna lecture you or anything but I sure hope this attitude of yours will change soon!
Sure, Doumyouji hit her twice. But he was still more of the bad boy when he first did and the second time he slapped her it was obvious he regretted it the moment he realized what he had done. (He kept starring at his hand for hours.)
In the case you are referring to the scene when he pushed Asai aside, I kind of agree with you though. But this was somewhat different. He was being violent in order to protect the one he likes, so he kind of stood up for someone else.
@REIRA: I completely agree with what you wrote.
@x_X_Jules: I really like your answer. Although I'm 100 % for Doumyouji and as much as I love him I've got to admit I really don't think him to be like the perfect man, either. (Although he really does change later on and becomes rather considerate and sensitive for other's feelings. At least a bit.) But he deserves Tsukushi more than anyone simply because he can love her like noone else does. Oh, and just so that you know, even though he's not perfect I wouldn't mind marrying [someone like] him at all.
@lilswtangel: Lol. You're answer is hilarious! xD
@confinedchild: I seriously disliked the scene you mentioned, too. Gah. So stuck up.
@apples: He's always been sort of a psychopath. I don't think that part of him ever changed throughout the story. But... uh... will you call the police if I tell you that this actually kind of attracts me? ^^;
Oh, and since you mentioned the scene at the airport, didn't you find him kind of cute in the episode when?

Doumyouji all the way.
I love how once Doumyouji realizes he loves Makino he gives into it completely. No turning back, no second thoughts, she's the only one for him. It doesn't matter what his parents or peers think, that's the way its going to be. Everything about her is so wonderful to him. I don't know how many of you have read the full manga, but one scene that alternately cracked me up, and made me go "Awww" is where Makino is competing in the beauty show and he keeps going on about how she is obviously the best, and even beats up people in the crowd who say otherwise. The way that he loves her and how it makes him a more patient ant thoughtful person is so endearing. Plus I think its really sexy when a guy acts at least a *little* bit jealous. Guys with tempers are hot.
I do like Rui a lot too, but he is a definite second to Doumyouji. Its attractive in its own way how he became such a close friend to Makino before ever developing feelings for her. You know that when he talks to her or spends time with her its because he wants to, there are no alterior motives. I just think that Makino and him wouldn't make a good match in the long run.
As far as the actors go, I like this new Doumyouji better than the one in Meteor Garden. He has a great range of facial expressions that are so expressive without even words. Where as ZaiZai was so totally hot in Meteor Garden compared to anyone else, how could you not love him? The Rui in this show is ok, but looks SO young compared to the other actors, its like he's a baby next to Shizuka.

Wow, snowviolet, when I read your post I went like: Waaah!
Hehehe. Everything you say is SO true. I agree in all points.
I too think the Teen of Japan story was one of the best, I even voted for it (among a few others) in the "Favourite BBS" on the official Hanadan drama website. Unfortunately there is only one rank left (rank 6) that's not revealed yet, and my guess is it's the scene when Rui holds Tskushi's hand at Shigeru's summer house.
Regarding Doumyouji's jealousy, frankly spoken I think he often reaches the point of being psychopathic, like when he beats up Junpei (referring to the anime version only) just because he was talking to Tsukushi -_-;;. But all in all I'd rather have an overly jealous Doumyouji than a guy who's never jealous at all.
However, to get back to the previous topic, I also found it very cute how
Lol. That's what I've been thinking the whole time. [/quote]

Hm... I checked on her age and you're right. She's 28! I thought she looks kind of old from the beginning but I had no idea just how old she is.non-angelical wrote:I think it's not that shun, who played Rui, looks too young. But it seems like the one who played Shizuka is the one who looks too old. Because compared to the other member of F4, Rui is ok. But for someone who's supposed to be only 2 years older, Shizuka looks far too old compared to the boys.
If anyone looks too young and kind of childish it's (don't hit me) Jun. I love his acting and everything but he looks really immature compared to the other F4 members. I was mostly surprised with Tsuyoshi / Mimasaka Akira as he's only 23. He looks about 10 years older.
Oh, yes, I think the odd one is Shizuka, she seems too old to be just 19!!! Or 20... I don´t know... She seems to be 25, 26 years old...Kathleen wrote: Hm... I checked on her age and you're right. She's 28! I thought she looks kind of old from the beginning but I had no idea just how old she is.

And I agree with you, Kathleen, the one who seems too childish is Jun. For a 17 years old guy, he may look mature, but as for a 22 years guy, he seems to be a kid yet.
But watching his interviews, I found Jun looks mature. At least, he SEEMS to be!
that statement is really easy to take out of context, but i think i understand what she means. it's hard to explain in a way that won't sound bad, i know she doesn't mean a guy who beats some helpless girl. more or less a guy who treats a girl equally..donna8157 wrote:That just sounds wrong on so many levels.sadotsu wrote:I like guys who aren't afraid to hit girls.

DOUMYOUJI TSUKASA!!!!!!!
i have never read the manga or watch the MG or watch anime version. so im really bais b/c im all based on the japanese version one. after seeing jun in gokusen i felt in love wif him as an actor. he is amazing too!! and when i watched HYD i thought he looks bad but his acting was so real and natural, that i felt for him all over again... meanwhile i did find rui's character really dull. and i perfer oguri shun's character as uchi in gokusen a lot more... and the thing is.. im attracted to "quiet & cooler" characters more usually... like sawada shin (jun's character) in gokusen more... but rui... i dunno i thought i wud like him more... but he just didn't act as cool... but maybe cause im comparing jun and shun too much... or im too obsess with jun at the moment *sigh*
