Her name is Sayaka Akimoto and she’s a nidan in Aikikai AIkido. She’s half Japanese and half Filipino.
This is unrelated but here’s a picture of her best friend Sae Miyazawa.

Fuck. I thought I just got another Facebook friend request for a second there.
No magic pants
No aikido
I thought that was Mormons.
Mormons have magic underwear. Look it up.
Nidan isn’t shit in Aikido, come back when she’s at least godan.
I did. Apparently the magic is just moisture wicking.
Something about that gi she’s wearing makes me think that might not regulation issue.
I think this calls for emergency randori.
She’s the japanese dub voice for Mantis in the GOTG movies and the Avengers films if Im not mistaken?
Yeah. Some sort of k pop girl or something.
The marvel movies were a big role for her considering she usually does B movies. She got famous for being in a japanese pop group called AKB 48.
To be fair I cant image the marvel’s mouses multi media mega money movies not being big for anyone involved, regardless of role size.
Isn’t there also a high correlation between japanese voice actors and also being singers?
I’m not really sure. Maybe they are. But I do know there is a high correlation of being a japanese drama actress and a pop star.
I read Robert Twigger’s book on getting his black belt at the Yoshinkan thru the riot police course and the guy basically admitted he barely knew enough to make a half-decent breakfall once.
Shodan in Japan is shit. 8th graders get shodan in Judo in Japan.
Now that is somewhat surprising to me. Aikido, sure, I can see that. Karate I can see that. But I thought judo players had a bit more demanding standards.
Depends on what you mean by demanding. An 8th grade shodan from Japan could be pretty darned tough at judo competition. One from a prominent high school might be a real killer…
Shodan in the US and Europe is a much bigger deal because BLACK BELT, lol.
