Oguri's debut role was playing the bullied and abused child [Noboru Yoshikawa](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Great_Teacher_Onizuka_characters#Holy_Forest_Academy_students "wikipedia:List of Great Teacher Onizuka characters") from the drama *[Great Teacher Onizuka](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Teacher_Onizuka "wikipedia:Great Teacher Onizuka")* in 1998, when he was about sixteen years old. His acting attracted him great attention and from there, he moved onto bigger roles. In 2000, he played a deaf person in *[Summer Snow](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_Snow "wikipedia:Summer Snow")*. Two years later, he starred in the popular drama *[Gokusen](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gokusen "wikipedia:Gokusen")*, in which he played the part of a bully, rather than the bullied, as he did in *Great Teacher Onizuka*.

In 2007 he gained even more attention starring in the drama *[Hanazakari no Kimitachi e](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanazakari_no_Kimitachi_e "wikipedia:Hanazakari no Kimitachi e")* as [Izumi Sano](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izumi_Sano "wikipedia:Izumi Sano"). In 2008, Oguri took up another lead drama role in *Binbō Danshi*, playing a poor college student named Kazumi Koyama.
