You know her as Reiko in Tokyo Drift, but Keiki Kitagawa has been a star long before she hit U.S. screens. Born August 22, 1986 in Hyogo prefecture, Japan, Keiko is the Japanese Idol who played the role of Sailor Mars in the Sailor Moon live action show “Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.” She’s also been in a model for Japanese Seventeen magazine since 2003.
Weighing a mere 93lbs at 5′3″, Keiko Kitagawa has won the hearts of her fans in Japan and is gaining a following in the U.S. as well. Her hobbies include badminton, calligraphy and swimming. I think she needs to include eating in her hobbies as well!
If you can read Japanese, check out her blog.

I’m surprised they didn’t show more of her in the movie. Her biggest part is the scene where bowwow is getting his butt kicked and she runs to get Sean to help him out. Oh and she’s in that first underground scene checking out Neela’s engine.
Keiko can do more than just hold a damn flashlight!!!! :D

I thought she was the real hottie of the movie. Wish they gave her a bigger role.

what do you expect from Hollywood or any western film? Asians are generally left with stereotypical roles: women = hot, pretty, and submissive (the last is totally not true); men = black belts in martial arts or super geeky.
I like to refer to the notorious cho’s comment: “I always wanted to be an actress… I always wanted to play a prostitute and say, ‘me love you long time!’” (not exactly a direct quotation but; you get the point.)
