Oricon asked 500 female high schoolers which celebrities (male and female) they would want as a teacher. Popular television dramas seem to have had a strong impact on the results, as the #1 choices were Yukie Nakama (“Gokusen”) and Tetsuya Takeda (the “3 Nen B Gumi Kinpachi Sensei” series). In addition, the #3 spots were taken by Nanako Matsushima and Takashi Sorimachi, who both played teachers in “Great Teacher Onizuka.”
For female celebrities, #2 was Kumi Koda. Kaori Manabe ranked 4th, followed by Masami Hisamoto. Hitomi Kuroki and aiko tied for 6th. The rest of the top ten were Rei Kikukawa, Yuki Amami (who also played a teacher in “The Queen's Classroom”), and Ryoko Shinohara.
