| Natsuna Watanabe in Kimi Ni Todoke |
My love for Aragaki Yui directed me towards the movie Hanamizuki, which in turn led to the love of Renbutsu Misako. The love of Renbutsu Misako directed me towards the movie Kimi ni Todoke, which led me to the love of the sexy and sultry Watanabe Natsuna!

Watching the movie, I instantly noticed how gorgeous she was, and as the “rumored-to-be-a-slut” character Ayane Yano, she was duked out in the expected kogal attire of dyed brown hair, deeply tanned skin and lush makeup, all of which added up to a particularly attractive figure, pun intended!

As the show went on and I got to see her Ayane Yano character out of the school uniform, my interest went even HIGHER seeing her wearing the prettiest, feminine, flowery and frilly outfits! I was like WHOA! What a GAL! I wanted to see more!
At the time, the only information I had of this gorgeous girl was what I read in the film’s credits, and that was a singular name: "Natsuna”, and I inwardly groaned, for you all know how hard it is to look up people online with only one name! I was thinking I might have a bit of work ahead! But I needn’t have worried… By simply typing in “Kimi Ni Todoke” along with “Natsuna’, I was soon inundated with TONS of hits, and I was THRILLED to find that MOST OF THEM were pages dedicated to pictorials of Natsuna in all her BIKINI-BUSTING Gravure Idol days!
SUCCESS!!!!
Man, I was in heaven, and spent a good few hours exploring all her various magazine pictorials and Shashinshuu!! Pouty and Sassy, and MY GOSH does this chick know how to rock a bikini!
Later, going on to the Dramawiki site, I saw that among Natsuna’s credits was a regular role in the Kitagawa Keiko drama MOP GIRL. EH? I sure didn’t remember any Fine-Ass curvy gravure idol type in the show, and just couldn’t FATHOM who she might have been. I popped in that beloved drama of mine and began scanning the scenes, waiting for Natsuna to turn up. When she finally DID and I saw which character she was, well, you could have knocked me over with a feather!

The character she played was this very conservative, shy and rather plain-jane type girl named Tamaki who mostly stayed behind in the background and worked at her desk while all the zany shenanigans were going on. That was amazing to think that that bookish looking girl in the above pic turned into this hot, smokin' goddess pictured below! Woot!
While online, I also saw a few pages that seemed to associate Natsuna with the movie GANTZ. Clicking on the link, I was to find that she had INDEED appeared in the Kazunari Nino/ Matsuyama Kenichi Sci-Fi Thriller! WOW! Looks like she was a LOT more famous and popular than I knew! How come I'd never heard of her before?
Then, It suddenly hit me- I remembered back when the movie had first come out, my friend Car was closely following the goings-on with GANTZ, and I was talking to her about the leading ladies in the show. She had mentioned that in addition to lovely Yoshitaka Yuriko, the other female actress was, “This Big-Boobed Gravure Idol chick” playing the role of Kei Kishimoto. AHAHAHA, that model of course was none other than Miss Watanabe herself!
And BOY did she look good!

Well! After all this time of Car trying to convince me to go see this movie, I finally have a REAL incentive to go check it out! Suddenly, It seems that I NEED to see this movie! AHAHAHAHA!
