Eriko Tamura is a star in her native Japan, so well known she often goes only by her first name. No overnight success, she’s been working professionally both as a singer and actress since the age of thirteen. Her first big-screen appearance was in Afternoon When Flowers Fell (1989), directed by Kazuki Omori, better known Stateside for his work on the Godzilla TV series. Erika also has a hugely successful musical career, which some liken to Britney Spears for her teen appeal. After all sorts of Japanese TV shows like Kurenai, Jiko and Watashi wo ryokan ni tsuretette, Erika was very appealing in her first starring role in an American-production, the Laguna Beach set comedy Surf School (2006). In it, she proves that a bikini is really the best costume for an actress, hanging ten as a perfect ten. Surf's wasn't the only thing up! Eriko stuck around the USA, playing Feudal Japanese princess Yaeko on Heroes and the villainess Mai in Dragonball Evolution (2009). The same year, her last acting role came as Kristen on the CW's cancelled too soon grim reaper comedy Reaper. Not to be a total creeper, but getting to see her bend over and show downblouse as well as showing off her bikini bod fresh out of the pool made the show worth watching. Outside of suing IMDB for telling the world her real name and birthday, Eriko hasn't been up to much lately. However, rumors are when they reboot Heroes, she will return to the role she made famous. Hopefully a return to acting means she finally takes her clothes off. We got a bit of sexiness from Eriko Tamura but we need so much more-a!
