Ebi-chan as Audrey Hepburn?! After six years as an exclusive model for fashion magazine CanCam, Yuri Ebihara, 29, made her debut last month for AneCan, an affiliated magazine which targets women in their late 20s.
Her first gig took her to Rome and Milan. Saying she hopes to be “cute in an adult way,” she modeled various attire and apparently turned the heads of many Italian men. She said the mood was more like “Roman Ebi-chan” than “Roman Holiday.”
Her 2009 calendar “Ebi-chan Calendar,” on sale since July, is set to be a best seller in the female talent category for the fourth year in a row. We won’t be taking our eyes off Ebi-chan next year either!

AneCan is different to CanCan? They look exactly the same! Same clothes, same ads, same boring models. It should just be WeScam.

"She's not pretty at all."

"We won't be taking our eyes off Ebi-chan next year either"
Neither will Clayton or Norinrad.

She should win the award for Best Roman Holiday.

What makes her so popular? - I've met her a couple of times (at promotional events for Zespri kiwifruit). I think what makes her so popular is her personality. She is just a nice kid who has stunning looks.

At 29, I think she's pasta best.

Do Japanese reporters ever ask follow up questions, like "I see, what the heck do you mean by that?" It rarely seems so.

I do not believe the statement of Italian men attracted to Ebi chan. What a scam with the stunning Italian women!! As well I have met more beautiful Japanese women. She is only average and boring with the cute child look. I am sorry for telling all.
