Synopsis:
"When I was six months old, I dropped from the sky - the lone survivor of a deadly Japanese plane crash. The newspapers named me Heaven. I was adopted by a wealthy family in Tokyo, pampered, and protected. For nineteen years, I thought I was lucky. I'm learning how wrong I was.
They say your life begins on your wedding day. Here's what happened to mine: I lost the person I love most; I learned that everything I knew about my family was a lie; now I'm being hunted. I must fight back... or die. My life ended that day. The old Heaven is gone. I am samurai girl." (taken from the back cover of the original book that the series was based on by Carrie Asai)

A song can take you back instantly to a moment, a place or even a person.
No matter what else has changed in you or the world, that one song stays the same, just like that moment.

Yeah remember her good ol Real World San Diego Season?





After that she also joined the Real World/RoadRules Challenge the Inferno II as one of the Good Guys. She was a pretty strong competitor and the only girl left to compete with the guys from her team ultimately winning 20 or 30 grand.


She was also in "Days of Our Lives" as Cordy Han for 10 episodes in 2007

CSI NY and more...

and she's also doing some modelling






Her latest project is the Dragonball movie, she'll be playing Chi Chi

I went to IMDB to read about the series, and in the bulletin board for it, the only thing people were complaining about (not all, just many) is that none of the actors are Japanese. -.- They'd be really mad if this was old old Hollywood and most of the roles were being played by caucasian actors. People who have those complaints (and I think one or two people there might have mentioned it) don't realize that the actors don't really care if they are playing a different Asian ethnicity from their own. I was kind of suprised no one was saying anything bad about Brendan Fehr being in there, especially if they didn't read the books.

Sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but I didn't read the books myself--so know little about the story-- what is Jack Yang's character in the story--is 'Hiko' her brother?
