Any mixed/ hapa celebrities in Japanese Entertainment?

[Euro_Hapa]

I'm not very familiar with the Japanese entertainment industry.

I know that there are a lot of Hapas (half Asian) actors/ models in Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Philippines entertainement industry...

what about Japan?

Yea, Takeshi Kaneshiro is half Japanese/ Taiwanese

Utada Hikaru is Japanese-American.

 

[Hiroyuki Nagashima]

Utada Hikaru is Japanese-American.

:?
Parents of Utada Hikaru are Japanese.

I'm perhaps partial to her because we share the same name, but there is a half-Japanese/half-British girl who's pretty popular called Becky.

I don't know exactly what it is that she does (does she sing/act?), but I like Becky. She is very personable.

There are many models in Japan who are half-Asian, I think. I can't think of their names, though.

She's a ﾆ耽ﾆ椎槌停?愴暖/singer/model but she's also done some comedy. I think she was on ﾂ湘寂?堋､ﾅ陳｢.

Becky is my favorite show biz personality, too.

Others I know are:
Sawajiri Erika (mother has French blood)
Kimura Kaela (British blood like Becky)
Umemiya Anna (daughter of old-time movie star Umemiya Tatsuo; her mother is half American, I think)
Tsuchiya Anna (I don't know what kind of mix she is)
Nakayama Emiri (I don't know much about her, either)

I think there are lots of others, mainly of Korean lineage.

I like Tsuchiya Anna as well. She was great in 窶堋ｳ窶堋ｭ窶堙ｧ窶堙ｱ (Sakuran) and one of these days I will get around to watching 窶ｰﾂｺﾂ催遺?｢ﾂｨﾅ津ｪ (Shimodzuma Monogatari: AKA Kamikaze Girls) andﾆ恥ﾆ坦窶堙??凪?壺?邸窶堙固?G窶怒 (Pako to mahou no ehon) too.

FWIW: According to wikipedia, her father is American with Russian blood and her mother is Japanese.
