Stephy Tang

Stephy Tang is a Hong Kong singer and actress. For a while it was believed she was found in one of the Edison Chen videos, but then that ended up being debunked and it was instead some Japanese model that looks nothing like her. Good job, internet.Stats:

Ayame Misaki

Ayame Misaki started as a gravure idol before becoming an actress. So the likelihood you are going to see any more revealing photos than these is slim. I don’t know what area of Japan she is from, but she definitely does not look like she is from Tokyo.Stats:

Arden B. Cho

image

In my boredom last week, I took a leap of faith on YouTube and watched the trailer for the short film Agents of Secret Stuff, which premiered on 11/23. I did not have much interest in the movie itself, but became highly interested in Arden Cho, who also stars in the movie and is a beauty. Once I found out that Arden was also a model in addition to being an actress, I then had to write about her for Asian Sirens.Stats:

Whatever Happened to Chieko Shiratori?

Chieko Shiratori

After mentioning Chieko Shiratori was a personal favorite of all who’ve stepped into the role of Special Undercover Agent Rei, the heroine from the Zero Woman series (featured here), there were a few who commented to reveal they also shared those feelings, which made it clear that she deserved of an entry of her own.

Not having heard or seen anything from Chieko since her mid-to-late 90s heyday, I did a bit of research to see what the now-35-year-old actress/model, who was billed early in her career as Tieko Shiroto, is up to these days.Chieko is currently listed with a Japanese talent agency, with a photo that looks like it was taken within the last few years, but her inclusion on their roster is most likely just to boost their status. According to her Japanese Wikipedia entry and one other source, the 5’6″ 34-23-35 former “V Cinema” queen retired from show biz in early 2000 and is now living a domestic life with a husband and son.

Sounds likely but until that’s reliably confirmed or unless she one day (hopefully) makes a comeback, I’m afraid Chieko will continue to reside in the “Whatever Happened to..” file and in our memories. So, here’s a little trip down memory lane:

Chieko Shiratori
Her first acting role as Megumi Amano in an episode of a Super Sentai TV production. The name of this series was Gosei Sentai Dairanger and it ran from February 1993 to February 1994. There was also a creature in this episode known as “Lipstick Diva.”

Chieko Shiratori
Appearing as the campaign girl for Suntory Super Hop’s beer was one of Chieko’s earliest modeling gigs.

Chieko Shiratori
Still from her best-known film, Tokyo Blue: Case 1. This film co-starred Tomomi Kuribayashi, who also has quite a fanbase.

Chieko Shiratori Photo Books
The covers of two of Chieko’s most popular photo books; Don’t Panic (1998) and Sirene (released in 2002). Both are available outside of Japan, but not cheaply.

Chieko Shiratori
One of Chieko’s most striking features was her unique aquiline profile.

Chieko Shiratori
It’s clear to see why she was one of Japan’s most popular nude models during the 1990s.

Weekly Playboy #32 - Chieko Shiratori
Gracing the cover of the August 6, 2002 issue of Weekly Playboy. The shot is from the Sirene photo shoot and was probably taken in 1999 or 2000, near the end of her career.


1998 appearance Cheiko made on a TV show that featured V Cinema actresses. The first time I watched this was the first time I heard her real voice, which is quite unlike the deeper-pitched timbres of the voice-over actresses who were chosen to speak her lines for the English-dubbed versions of her movies.

Gemma Chan for Bing


Unless you’ve been living without television for the past year and a half, you’re familiar with the Bing commercials where the person rattles off the results he or she found after performing an Internet search, in a robot-like manner.

Anyway, the lovely Asian lady with the British accent in the above ad is actress Gemma Chan and whether you use Bing, Google, or one of the other popular search engines, finding her website isn’t difficult.
