Mainichi (Japanese) reports that the Kano sisters will play characters based on themselves in the new remake of the anime series Yatterman (also known as ‘Yattaman’). The former prostitutes can be seen holding images of their animated selves in the above picture, which is today’s most-viewed photo on Yahoo! Japan News.

Where did you hear about them being former hos?
I was surprised to learn (well, not that surprised I guess) that they’re not really sisters. Not even related.
“and both are rumored to have had a good reputation as high-class… well, let’s just say “escorts”.”

“Within Japan it is rumored that before becoming celebrities, they were high priced call girls for the jet set level and that both have been romantically involved with Donald Trump, who reportedly heavily contributed towards financing their lavish lifestyles”

Seems to be the image they’ve promoted for themselves.
Interesting. If true. Which is possible, certainly in a less than official way (ie working privately rather than for a club). Especially in the geinou business….
“former prostitutes”?!?!?!
Really, that is a totally unsubstantiated claim and I think you should redact your editorializing from the article
We believe they are still working as extremely expensive escorts, and there is nothing “former” about it!!
Former?!?!?!?
one is hot and one is not…
My sentiments exactly, and i hope you’re referring to left being the hottie!
… so the one on the right isn’t ‘real’ but the one on the left is? (or are they both not real?)
I call them the Oppai twins………
Maybe that should be the name of the Manga……….
Hot…but then I subscribe to theory that if you set low standards-more girls meet your standards
Left = Hot
Right = Not
That must be the only manga where the boobs on the characters are actually smaller than real life.
They’re on the rather long list of tarentos that make me turn off the telly whenever they appear.
Wow…the one on the right looks STRAAAAANNNGGGGE.
From 1 to 10, one being the worst:
The Left: 2
The Right: -3
But…it’s the inside that counts.
but you still have to look at the outside though >.<
That’s some really awful plastic surgery right there. Reminds me of the Cat Lady (http://www.awfulplasticsurgery.com/archives/000351.html)
THANK YOU!!!!
i’ve been trying to figure out the person(celebrity?)she looks like but couldn’t get the image out of my head…
now there you go! the cat-eye lady!! +~+
Former prostitutes? Really?!
I think the one on the left is very pretty. The one on the right seems like she is trying to catch up with Michael Jackson.
… do some googling. One of them is supposedly a transgendered male.
The one on the right i’m guessing!
Former Prostitutes?
Be careful. You could be sued for libel.
the one on has left, that boob looks fake.
I think I just threw up a little in my mouth. It’s bad enough that talentless geinojin monopolize the airwaves with their glorified fan clubs under the guise of “variety shows”, but now they want to monopolize cartoons with their likenesses as well. I hope this isn’t the beginning of a “guest star geinojin of the week” trend with Yattaman. I loved watching the old series and the new one has caught some of the flavor of it. I’d hate to see it ruined by a geino conga line intent on keeping their Q-Rating up. And if Bobby Ologun shows up on it, my TV is staying on cable.
