Rinko Kikuchi, a Japanese movie star

Rinko Kikuchi is a prominent Japanese actress that has become a global movie star due to her acting skills, elegance, intelligence, style and beauty. However, we shall forget her movie Map of the Map of the sounds of Tokyo that is pretty awful, it was intended to show us Tokyo or Japan but we only see Rinko Kikuchi and the Spanish actor Sergi López without clothes on. That detail aside, Rinko Kikuchi whose real name is Yuriko Kikuchi  became the first Japanese actress nominated for an Academy Award in decades. Rinko Kikuchi was born in Kanagawa. (Japan)

Mexican director Alejandro González Iñárritu surprised everybody with his fabulous movie "Amores Perros" that let him to reach Hollywood, subsequently, he made 21 Grams that was another powerful story with important acting heavyweights such as Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro or Naomi Watts.

His 3rd film was the one that gave him worldwide recognition, Babel, it is a tale of different stories taking place in Asia, America or Africa. Regardless of the success, Babel was not as good as his first project Amores Perros (that I strongly recommend anyone who loves movies as it can be deemed as one of the best movies of the last 20 years) except for the performance of a Japanese actress named Rinko Kikuchi. Rinko Kikuchi was nominated for many important awards, it was really the big thing to watch on Babel. Rinko Kikuchi  was nominated for best supporting actress on the big night of Hollywood for instance (Jennifer Hudson won the Oscar that year) she was the best nonetheless according to the Critics Association of Chicago and Austin (Texas). Babel won an Academy Award and a Golden Globe and received a lot of important nominations,  but  is Rinko Kikuchi who really should be praised for.

Babel henceforth, Rinko Kikuchi has not been shining so strong until the last couple of years that Rinko Kikuchi has been starring some interesting movies such as Norwegian Wood. As a matter of fact, she is back in the business with the movie Pacific Rim and 47 Ronin alongside Keanu Reeves. Still, Rinko Kikuchi appears on the movie "Kumiko, the treasure hunter" and she will be in another  Isabel Coixet´s project called "Nadie quiere la noche". What is more, Rinko Kikuchi is also a fashion icon, she has appeared on several fashion campaigns such as for renowned and very relevant French label Chanel as you can see right now
