| The lovely, lovely Ayako Kato |
Wonderful to see these actresses as “regular” people, chatting with the panel or cooking up a meal for them. But in all of these episodes, besides gushing about the guest, I'd always think to myself, “who’s the lady BEHIND the guest doing the MC? She’s a Babe!”
Never knew this woman's name, but happily, in the latest clip I got (where she looked particularly stunning), the panel refer to this woman by name (while playfully harassing her), and I found out she was Kato-san!
Digging further, found her name was “Ayako”, and besides this show, has a regular gig as a TV Announcer! I even found her instagram, simply chock full of wonderful Katopan Goodness!
Oh my this is one very pretty gal, especially when done up in smart dresses for her MC duties on the show:
Oooh Man I love her dress in the above pics!!!
Ayako reminds me of a cross between Japanese Model Izumi Mori and Korean idol Jiyeon from T-ara, but with a very warm and personable personality, LOL.
She is SUCH a sweetie!!!
PS: Also found out Ayako got married in July of last year (I’m too late!!!) and also that she’d previously gone out with some dude from EXILE, WTF, those guys seem to always be dating gals I love, AHAHAHA!!!
