Here's another hidden gem that the western world has yet to discover! Nanako Matsushima may be familiar to fans of Japanese horror films. She was the reporter in Ringu, the Japanese title for 'The Ring' series of horror films. She is much more appreciated in the East for her other acting roles in many different movies and TV drama series.
I've seen the Ring but not knowing who she was at the time. Nanako caught my eye when I watched the popular TV darama (dorama in Japanese), Yamato Nadeshiko. The title translated means "Perfect Woman". Nanako really showed her pefection and acting talents playing a Jinno Sakuroko - a girl who grew up poor, and thus is so determined to marry rich that comedy ensues. As well Sakuroko discover on her way who is her real true love.
Like many Japanese stars, Nanako started her career as a model, campaign girl. She was noticed for mere looks and along the way showcased her range of talents to become a revered actress. Her most memorable roles have been in the Ringu series and also in the above mentioned 'Yamato Nadeshiko'.
Considered by many in Japan to be a natural beauty, Nanako is a highly sought-after spokeswoman behind many major products, from beverages, cellphones, insurance, pharmaceutical companies and also include being the MaxFactor girl for Japan. She carries with her a subtle grace and class, but remains approachable and lovable.Nanako exemplifies the typical facial features of the Japanese beauty. Armed with a killer smile and kind eyes, many asian men have fallen for this sultry starlet,
believing that she would make the perfect wife. Unfortunately for those yearning for a single Nanako, she is hitched with Japan's mega male celeb Takeshi Sorimachi in 2001. They met on set of the dorama that they're both famous for, GTO aka Great Teacher Onizuka.Things have settled down for the happy couple after the birth of their child in 2004. For everyone's sake, let's hope that Nanako will return to her fans more vivrant than ever!
Babe Factor: 8.5/10
