If you are currently eating up whatever mainstream media feeds you, chances are you don't know about these two popular Japanese-Filipino making it big in the Japanese Pop scene.
I can't blame you, being fed with relentless slew of Charice Pempengco, Arnel Pineda and that Canadian kid that does Lady Gaga. The current local K-pop fad doesn't help also, and for the record Sandara Park is 100% South Korean.
First we have Akimoto Sayaka
Team K Captain of the idol group AKB48 as well as DiVA. Her mother is Filipino. She's can speak a little English and Filipino. She also has a 2nd degree black belt in Aikido. She currently plays Sonoko of Detective Conan live action series.
