Shoko Nakagawa is Japan’s nerd heroine – an
open geek who proudly displays her love of Pokémon,
cats, and anime wherever she goes. She is currently the Pokémon captain for the weekly children’s TV show, Pokémon Smash!, has performed as a voice
actress in multiple Pokémon movies, and
is starring in the upcoming movie Nuiguruma Z(what the Hell did I just see!?) from Noboru Iguchi, the director of The Machine Girl and Robo Geisha
With such a profile, you’d think she’d have
her pick of the crop when it comes to a significant other. Unfortunately, perhaps due to her inherent shyness, the
celebrity is still single and actively looking for someone to share
a romantic Christmas with.
“It’s been my dream since childhood to
have a passionate kiss at the Korakuen Amusement Park.” Nakagawa said in
an interview with Niko Niko News. Nakagawa went on to declare “I’m going to have a hot giza kiss while I’m in my 20’s!”
(Note: “Giza” is part of Nakagawa’s own unique vocabulary. Supposedly
it’s derived from the word, “giga.”)
Asked to describe her ideal mate, Nakagawa
immediately replied, “Someone who’s better at games than me, loves cats,
has old or raw wounds, has a beautiful kicking form, and can use nunchucks.” Nakagawa
is currently 28 going on 29 – as she put it, “The same age as Misato from Evangelion…” – so she has little
over a year to find a gamer Bruce Lee to sweep her off her feet so she doesn’t have to spend her Christmases a la sad Keanu. Anyone up to
the challenge?
