AHHHHHHHHHHH ka-chan (miho kanno) She is awesome. I was first introduced to her in the movie dolls. She was a j-pop idol, then turned herself into a actress. She is a pretty good one too. She sung the theme song for a drama she was in before as well.

She is hot to me because of her eyes, she has the same type of eyes as my girlfriend, I call them puffy eyes (hard to explain). She is an older woman now, so she's an example of mature beauty. She's like 30 or something.

But anyways back to your question. Check wikipedia for all your needed links http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miho_Kanno She hasn't done many big Japanese movies, at least to my knowledge (I mean big enough to gain american notice). She was in a movie called sakuran. This was a movie made by an all woman production team, and the score was made by shiina ringo. I could do a whole other post on shiina alone, she is quite hot as well, and she plays awesome music. But if you haven't seen it, please do, that movie is FUGGIN awesome. But she is mainly a tv actress. She has a new drama comming up called hataraki man and just got finished with one called Watashitachi no kyoukasho <- this one was awesome.

Well if you want good information or pictures of her you must search japanese sites. Just copy and paste 菅野 美穂 (kanno miho) in yahoo or google. If you want to watch her dramas, or other dramas (they have k, j, and chinese dramas) just drop by
