“Ring 2″ schoolgirl joins GMA 7’s Koreanovela

July 18, 2005

In just a matter of days, GMA 7 is going to air a two-week long Koreanovela show called Friends, featuring heartthrobs Won Bin (Andrew of Endless Love 1: Autumn in My Heart), Lee Dong Gun (Matthew of Sweet 18 and Martin of Lovers In Paris), and the Japanese schoolgirl turned Sadako from Ring 2, actress/singer/model Kyoko Fukada. (GMA 7 calls her “Fukuda Kyoko”. On the other hand, Kyoko’s name in Japanese is written “深田恭子” (FUKADA Kyoko).)

Just in case you’ve already forgotten her face in Ring 2, here are some small screencaps:

Kyoko was born on November 2, 1982 in Tokyo, Japan. She’s 163 cm (5 ft. 4 in.) tall.

She has been involved in many films and TV series since 1997, including Ring 2 (1999) where she played the role of the pretty schoolgirl Kanae Sawaguchi. She also made some albums and singles since 1999, like Universe (2001) and Flow: Kyoko Fukada Remixes (2002).

She loves swimming, watching movies, reading comics, and collecting “pingu” (a popular penguin mascot/doll).
