Let's make this birthday one to remember.

36 years old (Born on October 06, 1988)

Happy Birthday, Maki Horikita! From your unforgettable role in "Nobuta wo Produce," where you taught us all the art of transformation and friendship, to charming audiences worldwide as Mizuki Ashiya in "Hanazakari no Kimitachi e," you've consistently brought smiles (and occasional tears) into our lives. Your talent for portraying strong yet relatable characters has made every drama binge-worthy.

Here's wishing you another year filled with laughter brighter than Nakatsu's antics and success sweeter than Nobuta’s makeover reveal. May your days ahead be even more delightful—and less complicated—than a high school love triangle plotline! Keep shining brightly; お誕生日おめでとうございます！
