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!

The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift is a 2006 sequel to car-racing movies The Fast and the Furious and 2 Fast 2 Furious. It will not feature any of the original characters. The movie follows the story of Shaun Boswell, who has always been an outsider. A loner at school, his only connection to the indifferent world around him is through illegal street racing — which has made him particularly unpopular with the local authorities.
To avoid jail time, Shaun is sent out of the country to live with his uncle in the military, in a cramped apartment in a low-rent section of Tokyo. In the land that gave birth to the majority of modified racers on the road, the simple street race has been replaced by the ultimate pedal-to-the-metal, gravity-defying automotive challenge—drift racing, a deadly combination of brutal speed on heart stopping courses of hairpin turns and switchbacks.
For his first unsuccessful foray in drift racing, Shaun unknowingly takes on D.K., the “Drift King,” with ties to the Yakuza, the Japanese crime machine. The only way he can pay off the debt of his loss is to venture into the deadly realm of the Tokyo underworld, where the stakes are life and death.
