Mika Kano judges Eri Namba winner of DHC’s Cinderella Award for 2009

TOKYO —

Mika Kano was one of several judges for the final contest of DHC’s Cinderella Award for 2009, held in Tokyo Midtown on Tuesday, with Eri Namba, 19, winning the Grand Prix.

Namba will star in DHC’s commercials and appear at their events over the next two years. She will also play the role of a high school student in NHK’s drama “Q.E.D. Shoumei Shuuryou,” which airs on Thursdays at 8 p.m., starting Jan 8.

Asked about her plans for Christmas, Kano said: “My sister has been re-scheduling things with her boyfriend. I think I’ll be baby-sitting her!”

    The Kano sisters have bred? Yikes.

    Plus, who gets to be Best DHCist for 2010 if Eri gets to work for them for two years?

    "Asked about her plans for Christmas Kano said "My sister has been re-scheduling things with her boyfriend. I think I'll be baby-sitting her"

    That contrasts with what I did on Christmas Day - helping out with preparing meals for the many homeless.
