Can anyone ID this actress/model?
 

So I just shared a flight with a beautiful girl who was a actress/model from Japan. I was stupid and left with only her first name, which I am 90% sure was Asako. She said she has been in a lot of Japanese tv and some movies, including The Ramen Girl, but I am having trouble finding her. I cut myself out of the picture because no one wants to see that, and it is low quality because it is off my phone, but if anyone has any ideas please let me know.

Could it be Asako Kikuchi?! I hope my answer helps. :D

Looks like her, I suppose....

Thank you for your replies, it definitely could be. Does anyone know where I can get more information (age, work she's done etc.) about Asako Kikuchi so I can know for sure?

Thank you for the reply, and thank you for her name in kanji hopefully that will help. Although she is really cute too, I don't think she was Akiko Monou because she said she was 22 and Akiko is 32. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas. :vsign:

I know I've seen her on TV a few times, but I don't know her name. The problem is that there are many ways to write "Asako" in Japanese even if "Asako" is actually her first name. So that makes it hard to google in Japanese. I assure you, though, that she is in no way a big star here.

You're right about her not being Akiko Monou. The two ladies don't even resemble each other at all.

Thank you for the reply Nagoyankee, please let me know if you think of anything.

So is Asako Kikuchi an actress? It does look like her, but I can't find anything on her other than her facebook listing with this picture.
