Model Jun Hasegawa announces upcoming wedding
Entertainment ( 15 )
TOKYO —
Japanese-American model Jun Hasegawa announced Wednesday that she will marry a Hawaiian man in the near future. Hasegawa, 25, made the announcement in a hand-written statement faxed to media in Tokyo.
“I’m happy to announce that I, Jun Hasegawa, will be getting married to a Hawaiian gentleman. We are going to have a small wedding with just family and relatives. I would like to keep my entertainment activities based in Japan,” she said in the statement.”
Born in New Hampshire to a Japanese mother and American father, Hasegawa moved to Hawaii at the age of two and grew up there until she was scouted at 14. Hasegawa appears regularly in ViVi as well as many other magazines, and is a regular participant in the wildly popular Tokyo Girls Collection fashion extravaganzas.

another kōhai I have never met gets married... hopefully not one of those short marriages like Utada.25 is actually quite young these days when couples are having kids in their 40's.

She is not ugly, but not my taste. She has a great personality though, not as arrogant and cocky like that michibata nose

She appears frequently on Japanese TV and usually shows off a lot of leg, her best assets. She's a model.

Why does she have a Japanese last name if her father is American?

Stranger, good question. I imagine because it is more marketable for them to take on a name Japanese viewers are familiar with. Anna Tsuchiya has an American father but a Japanese name. Same goes for Risa Akiyama, Arisa Urahama, Kaera Kimura (British father); Catherine Seto (French father); Mariko Takahashi (American father); Christel Takigawa (French father); Ellie Toyota (British father), Michael Fujioka (American father)....and the list goes on and on. Of course there are "Half" talents out there with foreign names as well, so my theory of marketability isn't 100%. But if you do some research you'll see that the majority of them have Japanese last names. I believe this is because it is easier to succeed in Japan if you have a name folks identify with. And if you have a Japanese surname, combined with a western first name, it presents you as a "half" before you are even seen. Which again, is marketable in this country.
