31 Days of Ladies: 30. Kitano Kii

[topazera]

So I'm back with my next lady installment! LOL, I need to get to these faster if I ever want to reach my 31~ Anyway, I didn't realize that I had listed these two next to each other but it's another actress from the show LIFE! Which I have not seen. So it really should not be that notable to me, I guess. XD

30. Kitano Kii


Name: Kitano Kii // 北乃きい
Age: 21, born March 15th, 1991
Skills: Professionally an actress, singer and kicker of people's butts. In her spare time, she plays futsal and piano. Describes Thai K-1 kick boxer Buakaw Por as her ideal man.
Distinct features: Giant toothy grin, curvy legs!
As seen in: A natural boxer who loves to fight in Love Fight and a natural at kendo in Bushido Sixteen. And an appearance on Shin Domoto Kyoudai. ♥
Why she's on my list: She's so cute!! Aha. Seriously, I think Kitano Kii is a great actress and I love that she plays such active characters. She has a great physicality to her. She's obviously fit in real life so it's very convincing when she kicks someone's ass. And I like that she's a little more solid than a lot of actresses. :) As herself, she just seems like such a sweetheart. Very smiley and personable. All of her stories on SDK were amazing, this great combination of daring bravado and adorable spaciness.♥


Ahhhhhh, Kitano Kii~


She's one of those people I can't even remember how I encountered! It wasn't through her acting or singing, it just seems like all of a sudden I was really a fan of her. :)


This is a defining picture of Kii-chan for me, all smiles and legs. :)


She is seriously cute. With the best smile.


The cutest!!


But also really hot. Dang, lady.


See? GOOD-LOOKING. (IN HATS).


Silly Kii-chan, that is not a hat! :DD


Let's get this out there now, I have a thing for Kitano Kii's legs. XD So curvy! So muscular! They are pretty ideal in the world of legs. ♥


This is something I hesitate to even say because Japanese media sets such a tiny standard but one of the things I do like about Kitano Kie is that she's got a little more curve to her! Still a tiny person obviously! But sighhhhhh~


Her short little legs!!


In shorts!


This is the photo I want of every lady I like. Flower crowns~


Aha, she suits Osaka. :DD


I'm so into Kitano Kii fighting, I can't even tell you. (Well really, see the two movies I have seen her in so far. XD) The internet was unable to tell me how trained she is in martial arts but I do know that she grew up watching her dad do karate. And also that she makes kicks look easy. :DDD


I really want her to be a future action star of Japan. ♥


I have my suspicions she does yoga in real life too but I can't substantiate that either. :)


Whatever the case, she is definitely athletic! I like that a lot in an actress.


Can you guess what is a popular pose for Kitano Kii??



I'm always inclined to like someone when they seem to really enjoy the company of dogs. :D


And when they look at a dog like that, awwwwww~


I tend to think that she must really like dogs, being photographed with them this often, but I will also accept that photographers might just think this is the way to maximum cuteness. XD


Though you could also make a case that her accompanying subject doesn't matter that much~ NOSE CRINKLES, I LOVE NOSE CRINKLES! ♥


This is someone who suits knitwear, I seriously just want to cuddle her. ♥


Eeeeeee! BOTH ATTRACTIVE AND CUDDLY.


SO PRETTY, KII-CHAN.


SKIIIIIIIN.


She does so many cute photoshoots, the moody ones seem even more striking to me. She is an actress! They should give her more of these! :)


I wish I could find scans of the rest of this photobook! I'm a sucker for ridiculous cosplay. YOU ARE TOO CUTE IN A BUNNY SUIT, THAT SHOULD BE MORE CREEPY. :DD


I'm so happy that she appears to be great friends with Fukuda Saki! :DD Before I even found out they were both in LIFE, I associated them. They are both such bright, strong, active young actresses, they remind me of each other. ...If I were picking people to be friends for a fic, I would have paired them? Does that explain it? :DD


How cute are they?? With their coordinated manicures and outfits!


There appears to be a lot of almost kissing in their time together?? OKAY, I ACCEPT.


I'm just saying, I know their characters are bitterly opposed in the actual show, but in LIFE-AS-I-IMAGINE-IT, I totally ship them. :DD


From her blog/radio show photos, I also think she should be friends with Naka Riisa btw. :D Oh and on that blog entry she mentions that she's dubbing the voice of Katara from AtlA in Japan?? SO AWESOME, YES.


I want that cardigan. XD


As much as I don't need any more detective dramas right now... detective drama?? :)


I would watch this show so hard. :DD


Obligatory baseball photo!!


Sometimes she reminds me a bit of Mao-chan. :) Edit: Or Kanjiya Shihori as phrenk commented and I totally agree!!

And now for a complete photobook I did find that is totally great, Kitano Moyou! :D

Subscribing to the Nodame school of sexiness. ♥


You're probably getting tired of this commentary by now but: ADORBS.


I love the shots in this trip that are just random people she encounters loving on Kitano Kii. ♥


I want to travel with her. :)


Lovely~


This is just a great photograph.


Kii-chan, I ♥ you!

I sing her song "Sakura Saku" all the time. And when I say all the time, I mean all the time.

[topazera.livejournal.com]

That's the one song I have seen her perform! I really need to go on a jpopsuki raid for more Sakura Saku, I haven't heard it in a long time. ...I will blame you when this gets stuck in my head. ♥

[darkeyedwolf.livejournal.com]

THIS IS AN AWESOME POST AND YOU SHOULD FEEL AWESOME FOR POSTING IT. Oh my gosh, her smiles, she reminds me of Eikura Nana. ♥ You should definitely watch LIFE if you get a chance, she and Saki are extremely femslashy and Kii's role is all about standing up for herself against bullies and refusing to take shit. IT'S PRETTY MUCH THE BEST THING EVER.

*scrolls back up again*

*may be a little hypnotized with the shiny hair and great legs and smiles*

[topazera.livejournal.com]

WOOOOOOO, THANK YOU, THANK YOU *BOWS*. The world really did need more Kitano Kii love, imho. Her smile does my heart good.

...Wow, that actually sounds close to what I am imagining LIFE to be! Extremely femslashy with Fukuda Saki and a whole lot of agency... gimme! Thanks for cluing me in, I am totally moving this up my list as we speak. ♥

maybe has a little bit of a thing for legs, see upcoming posts XD

[otai.livejournal.com]

She is cute, she doesn't suit every role but she is more natural than other young actresses :D

[topazera.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I haven't yet seen her in everything she didn't suit, but she's very much that "refreshing" type. I like her style of cuteness too, it seems very genuine. :)

[insipid-paragon.livejournal.com]

AND NOW I LOVE KITANO KII TOOOOOOOO.

I really think I need to know more.

Or maybe just go back and stare at her legs some more, like the complete perv I apparently am.

[topazera.livejournal.com]

WOOOOOOOO, HAPPY TO SPREAD THE LOVEEEEEEE! Aha, I seriously start liking people based on very little, I have only seen her movies! And variety shows (which I watched her on another, after I posted). I've been thinking I need to know more about her too, maybe watch her breakout drama LIFE!

Or maybe just go back and stare at her legs some more, like the complete perv I apparently am.
A ~theme~ of these posts, oogling people's legs. :DDD

[elfiepike.livejournal.com]

oh gosh, you had me at adorable BUT SHE'S VOICING KATARA????

[topazera.livejournal.com]

RIGHT?? What a recommendation for someone, they think she can do justice to Katara! I still... haven't heard the Japanese dub or anything but I believe in this adorable and sometimes badass girl to do her right. ♥

[prisps.livejournal.com]

Own, the girl from Bandage!
She's so cute! I simple loved her in Nagareboshi where she was pair'ed up with Kiriyama Akito from BAD ♥ I have such good memories from that drama and their characters mostly ^^

[topazera.livejournal.com]

Nagareboshi! I am making a note of it now! I remember thinking the decription had potential when that started airing but then not getting a chance to watch. I'm encouraged now, seeing that people seem to remember it fondly! ♥

[stringless-kite.livejournal.com]

Awesome :)

I think she's adorable. I love it <3 Hehe. I love how you're doing ladies, and I'm kicking it with random boys. I've only really seen her in BANDAGE & Nagareboshi. She has such a bright smile and those shots are really refreshing :)

[topazera.livejournal.com]

Thanksssssss! :DD I was thinking the same thing, I'd planned to do this series for so long and happened to start posting it during your guy series! I love those posts, I really do have a lot of guys I love too, I just figure all my Johnny's flailing already covers the bases there. ;P

I've been debating whether to watch BANDAGE! Another one of those things where I like the cast but I wouldn't other probably watch the movie. XD

[stringless-kite.livejournal.com]

BANDAGE? Umm..it's okay? I don't know. I think I watched it mainly for Kora Kengo. I think Kengo made the movie worth it ;) I really liked his character. Haha.
