Takayuki Yamada as an Actor

Second, there is Mr Takayuki Yamada aka Tamao Serizawa.
Selain berprofesi sebagai aktor, ia juga mampu bernyanyi dan memainkan gitar dengan baik. Ia juga seorang pengisi suara anime.

Meskipun bertubuh pendek (169 cm) namun ia sangat menonjol di antara aktor-aktor di generasinya karena kemampuan aktingnya yang jauh di atas rata-rata. Bisa kita lihat di film Crows Zero, cara dia berbicara dan memasang ekspresi wajah selalu memberikan impact lebih dibanding aktor-aktor lainnya.
