Takashi Sorimachi (反町 隆史, Sorimachi Takashi, born December 19, 1973) is a Japanese actor and singer. He is mostly famous for having portrayed Eikichi Onizuka in the 1998 live-action drama adaptation of the popular manga series Great Teacher Onizuka, and the assassin O in Hong Kong action thriller film Fulltime Killer.

While he mainly works as an actor, he has released several singles and albums over the years. On February 21, 2001, he married actress Nanako Matsushima who he co-starred with in Great Teacher Onizuka. On May 31, 2004, his wife gave birth to a baby girl. The couple had a second daughter on November 30, 2007.

In 2005 he starred in the movie Otoko-tachi no Yamato.

In November 2023, Takashi Sorimachi co-starred along with his wife Nanako Matsushima in a commercial for skincare and makeup Shiseido.[2][3] The new Shiseido commercial marked the couple first sharing screen in 25 years following the couple co-starred together in 1998 TV Drama Great Teacher Onizuka and the first time the couple co-starred together following their marriage in 2001.[3][2] The couple are also expected to co-star together for the first time in over two decades in a 2024 special episode revival of the 1998 Great Teacher Onizuka TV Series, aptly named GTO Revival.[4][5]
