She may not be a household name yet, but come April 2007, all of Japan and J-dorama fans across the globe will be talking about HIGA Manami (20). She’ll be starring in “Dondo Hare” (starts on April 2nd), part of NHK’s popular morning drama series (or asadora) which will also star singer MORI Masako (48)—making her comeback after retiring in 1985—as her mother.
Manami was born in Uruma City, Okinawa Prefecture, on June 14, 1986. The 168cm (5′5″) beauty was scouted in 2003 and made her debut as a model (she’s a JJ Model). In 2005, Manami made her film debut in “Niraikanai kara no Tegami” which was filmed in Okinawa’s Taketomi-jima.
