She does look very good for her age. Nice pitch, though. :lol: Admittedly, mine probably wouldn't be too much better...

The island girl from SoG was a hottie. I have a thing for women in white pants.

Bibari Maeda is the actress.

Bibari Maeda was more famous for her singing/dancing than film work. Here's a cover from one of her albums:

Mie Hama and Akiko Wakabayashi. I mean, not just any actress gets to be Bond Girls.

Akiko Wakabayashi, Tomoko Ai, Kumi Mizuno and Yuriko Hishimi are the top babes from the showa era IMO. Those 4 were total foxes in their prime.

And in regards to Yuriko Hishimi- It's a shame Toho never really used her for many roles. I think that if they just cut Jakovan(sp?) out of the script for Godzilla Vs. Megalon, replaced him with a female character, and cast Yuriko into that role, GvM would've been much more tolerable. That movie being a total sausage fest never helped it's cause at all.

I also like the girls in Godzilla vs SpaceGodzilla - especially the one that played Dr. Chinatsu Gondo.

Towako Yoshikawa, the girl on the right side of the picture, that played Dr. Chinatsu Gondo.

Hishimi certainly made Ultra Seven look good.

Normally I don't really notice this type of thing when I watch a Toho movie, but Linda Haynes was lovely in Latitude Zero. It's not every day you get a blonde actress in a Toho film. Shelley Sweeney appeared in some of those 90s Heisei films and is very pretty as well.

I do believe several Toho actresses were Bond girls as well... not sure of the names but I recognized several from the older movies. Toho seems to have always had a pretty big pool of good looking people for leading roles.

I came across some very interesting articles from a year ago regarding one of the rarer "gaijin" Showa-era actresses, Linda Miller of King Kong Escapes fame:

And here is the interview with her and Brett Homenick:
