TOKYO —

Actress Ryoko Shinohara, 35, was back in the public eye Thursday, looking quite trim three months after having a baby. Shinohara appeared at an event for a human resource company for which she is the “image character.” She hasn’t made any official appearances since last September when she announced a temporary hiatus to give birth to her first baby in May of this year.

Wearing a black one-piece dress, Shinohara said she had lost 7-8 kg after giving birth. “I have had a good rest, almost like a vacation really. I’m happy to back at work, but now my challenge is to find a balance between work and home.”

Asked about her son, she answered: “Many people say my son resembles both me and my husband (actor Masachika Ichimura, 59). I hope he has the best parts of both of us.”

Shinohara will take a little more time off before resuming her film career next spring, said her agent.

    the dress is awful nice legs, though a little work-out won't harm

    Looks like she has a bin liner tied round her waist.

    no wonder the birthrate is so low in Japan. They treat pregnancy as something to be ashamed of, with women hiding themselves away for months at a time.

    Isn't pregnancy a time where women should hide themselves away, with their husband/partner going to see young hostesses instead?

    soldave; Are you out of your mind, this is not the middle ages.

    People shouldn`t view women like that these days.

    She is healthy, the baby is healthy, so everything is ok!!

    She wore a one-piece dress? Are there two-piece dresses as well?

    If you're a Street Fighter the Movie fan, she was the girl who sang the theme song. I once rode my bicycle to 20+ shops looking for that single, and finally found it. Ah, memories...

    Aren't all dresses one-piece? Why the need to explain what a dress is? Please stop perpetuating bad English!

    Why is this in the Headline News section, JT? It barely qualifies as Entertainment News...
