Biography
Holding the distinction of being the number one female villain in most modern-made films, when it comes to fighting-females this woman "kicks butt". First seen in My Lucky Stars, this Japanese bombshell was actually a Power-Lifting Champion (having broken the existing All-Japan power-lifting record in the deadlift). She speaks fluent English and Chinese, as well as having studied "Long Fist Boxing" and the Gim (Chinese Straight Sword).
She seemed unstoppable in the film In The Line Of Duty-3, battling Cynthia Khan and was most memorable matching wits against Lam Ching-Ying in Magic Cop. Considering her skills, she can have a long career in films as a villain, but hopefully, they will give her leading parts, as she definitely would shine in them. While most seem to overlook her and concentrate on Michelle Yeoh, they seem to forget that she would make the perfect villain against Yeoh's skills, thus making her look even better.
In Outlaw Brothers, she was again, at her best as the villain who tried to win at all costs, taking on Frankie Chan and Yukari Oshima, for some serious Modern Mayhem. Though many actresses retire after they wed, she got married and is still making films until this day and I'm sure the Asian film industry is better off for it. Now, if we can just get her to make a movie here in America, she would have more exposure and definitely more fans.
