Japanese Actor/Actress portraying the most characters from manga?

Cntrldfusion

As the title says, with the new Bleach live action movie coming out I was wondering; which Japanese Actor or Actress has portrayed the most characters from popular manga?   I know Oguri Shun has done at least 6 if not more.  Does anyone know or is there any way to know?

i want to put my bet for tadanobu asano but clearly i need to check his filmography right after this.

well not so much as i thought first,  movie-wise


this one with kento yamazaki


masaki suda :

the winner so far, shun oguri


i wonder with guy like takayuki yamada, kenichi matsuyama, tatsuya fujiwara etc also shota sometani have quiet wide range  from main to supportive and minor roles

*just by briefly look and not count of popularity

I think Oguri Shun is probably also in the lead.  Especially with main characters.  I don't really count the small supporting roles.  And I was also including dramas, not just movies, guess I didn't make that clear.  I know he was in Gokusen, HYD, HanaKimi, Detective Conan as lead or main ensemble roles.

We could add Satoh Takeru as well; he has done quite a few.
