Koike Teppei in Dragon Zakura

I decided to first watch Dragon Zakura for Yamapi, but shortly after tuning into the series, I realized that Koike Teppei was also in there! And in a fairly large role, which just made it all the better.

I started really liking this actor while watching Gokusen 2, so, as you can imagine, my 'thing' for this actor just grew. Anyway, he's got one of the greatest smiles I've ever seen, so I figured I'd start him off with a great screen cap from Dragon Zakura to capture it in all its glory.
