Recently, Japan officially entered the Reiwa era, and the Heisei era came to an end. On the last day of Heisei, we were surprised to find a group photo of the "Sailor Moon", namely Keiko Kitagawa, Miyu Anzama, Kazumi Izumi, Miyu Sawai, and Sainatsu Komatsu. At the age of 17, Kitagawa Keiko starred in the live-action version of "Sailor Moon", playing Rei Hono. 16 years later, she appeared in the group photo again, she is still beautiful and moving, and has added a lot of mature women's charm!
Born in 1986, Keiko Kitagawa became the exclusive model of a popular Japanese magazine in 2003. A model face grew in the sky, and it was always mistaken for a height of more than 170, but in fact it was only 160. But this does not affect the popularity of Kitagawa Keiko in the entertainment industry, the first year of her debut, she won the role of "Sailor Moon" Hono Rei, because it is a live-action version of popular anime, this drama has attracted much attention that year, and also officially opened Kitagawa Keiko's career as an actor in the entertainment industry.
If some actors are God's reward for eating, Kitagawa should be one of them. Her appearance is very distinctive, not the cute face of a traditional Japanese idol, but the aura of an arrogant woman. If you compare her with domestic female stars, she should belong to zhang Yuqi's type. Although Kitagawa Keiko is a model, her footsteps in filming have not stopped for a moment. In 2006, she also starred in the American action film "Fast and Furious 3", with the blessing of international works, which made her more convinced of the path of the actor.
If you ask which work really made her popular, the editor first recommended the TV series "Zero Second Shot" co-starring her and Tomohisa Yamashita. In this drama, Kitagawa Keiko plays a female college student majoring in violin. In order to realize her dream, she has been working hard, but she has to face the cruelty of reality. Kitagawa Keiko's character in the play is very pleasing, talented, self-motivated, and at the same time very understanding. It is precisely because of this work that she has become completely popular in Japan, and even has the potential to rush abroad to Asia. I believe that many domestic audiences have also watched this TV series. The drama also won her the Japanese Drama GP Award for Best Actress.
Later, Kitagawa Keiko and Tomohisa Yamashita, who also came from the Faculty of Business of Meiji University, also spread a scandal, both of whom were very strong people, and had their own pursuits in their careers, and eventually the relationship broke up unhappily. Kitagawa, who returned to singlehood, continued to focus on her work. In the list of "most wanted faces" for Japanese women, she topped the list for three consecutive years to become the most beautiful in Japan, setting an excellent result in the history of the list. No matter what class and age, Kitagawa Keiko has a fairly high popularity.
In 2017, a "Woman Who Sold a House" once again made her popular on the screen. Sharp eyes, super fast speed of speech, a professional dress, she fully reflects the focus and professionalism of women in the workplace. The phrase "there is no house I can't sell" became the classic line of the year. In January 2019, the second season of the show began broadcasting, and Kitagawa's popularity rose again. Even fans who are far away in China are hooked after watching her performance. This role is as if it was tailor-made for her.
Recently, we also noticed that the Chinese remake version of this TV series started, and the successor to Beichuan as the female number one was actually the domestic "big female protagonist professional household" Sun Li! Sun Li, who has been starring in costume dramas in recent years, has rarely had the opportunity to appear in modern dramas, and it is also a remake version of the popular Japanese drama. This remake will be co-starred by Sun Li and Luo Jin, and the famous screenwriter Liu Liu has also joined, which has attracted much attention just after it was launched.
After hearing this news, some netizens said that they did not want to see a remake, which is to destroy the classic. For fans, the Sanxuan family Manji, played by Kitagawa Keiko, is the most appropriate and suitable for the existence of the character itself. Even if the person who succeeded her to play the role is Sun Li, who also has super high acting skills, it is difficult to shake Kitagawa's position in the minds of fans. Some netizens believe that Sun Li can't play Beichuan's feeling of being both serious and cute.
From the 17-year-old Sailor Moon to the 32-year-old Sanxuan family, Kitagawa Keiko went from youth to maturity, almost under the eyes of the audience, witnessing her transformation together. At the age of 20, she still gave people a feeling of a rebellious girl, and after the age of 30, her aura was already very strong. After 16 years of hard work in the entertainment industry, she looks very stable and has also lived out her own characteristics. Fortunately, she did not go with the flow and has always insisted on herself.
With the advent of the Reiwa era, the sequel to the drama was officially completed not long ago. After the hit screen, Kitagawa Keiko, who became an "unemployed young woman", also ushered in a new beginning of a new era. Although it has recently belonged to her rest and transition period, with her strength and acting skills, I believe that the road will be smooth after that. In addition, most of the Chiba Yu who starred in the drama have opened Weibo in China, and Kitagawa Keiko should also consider it!
