Bio

Aikurushii Keiko

Welcome to Keiko Kitagawa News Blog "Aikurushii Keiko." Since I haven't been seeing the major Keiko Kitagawa websites updating their news section on her, I thought I would make one for her fans so I hope to feature the latest information on the Japanese actress Keiko Kitagawa for you guys. I will credit the source of information and if for some reason if I foret to do so and I got it for you, please tell me. I will fix it. ^^ The only rule I have is that if you get information from me, then please credit me.

• She won the Miss Seventeen 2003 title and became a model in the Japanese Seventeen magazine from 2003-2006
• In 2004 Kitagawa also performed at a Sailor Moon musical, called Kirari Super Live.
• She has also released a single as the character Rei Hino called "Sakura Fubuki', which she also performs on the show.
• There was a rumor about her having an affair with her college classmate and the top heart-throb of the immensely popular boys' vocal group NEWS, Tomohisa Yamashita, which stemmed from a purikura photo of two look-alikes kissing circulated online and reported even in overseas media. Since then she was harrassed by his fans to a point that she had to officially deny it on her blog (without mentioning his name). While this incident had suddenly expanded her exposure, whether it actually helped or hampered her career is uncertain.
• Like Rei Hino, she attended a private missionary school (大阪女学院; lit. "Osaka Girls' Academy"), which adopts a ladder system similar to that in T.A. Girls' Academy. The school's curriculum emphasizes religious and English language training. She did not complete her high school studies in that school, though, but instead transferred to and graduated from a private international high school.
• She has studied calligraphy, a traditional skill that Rei Hino has shown in the live-action series.
• According to her personal magazine column, her relationship with her father is not close, which, to a certain extent, echoes Rei Hino's relationship with her father in the live-action series, although nothing indicates that it is as confrontational/hostile as Rei's.
• Keiko kept her Jewelry Star Bracelet after filming was over, and still wears it occasionally.
• After filming in California for the role of Reiko in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Keiko returned there for a few months in 2006 to study English, during which she also lived with a local family.
