Nakagawa Shoko - the singing chain-saw princess

Daily Yomiuri’s Matsumaru Kumi wrote, “Shoko Nakagawa has many faces. Nakagawa, or Shokotan as her fans call her, is a blogger, otaku personality, singer and voice actress. Of equal importance, she also is known as a mangaka and illustrator. The multitalented otaku idol, whose activities are becoming international, is now displaying one of her vibrant illustrations at a Tokyo charity event in support of a cultural research foundation.”

“Along with 90 other famous names from different fields, including politics and entertainment, Nakagawa is displaying Angela Mao, an illustration she created using the image of the Taiwan martial arts film actress of the same name. (The work is not for sale, although some other items in the show are.)”

“I’ve always liked Bruce Lee, ever since I saw him in his kung fu films for the first time. Angela Mao played his younger sister in Enter the Dragon [1973],” Nakagawa told The Daily Yomiuri in a recent interview, while waiting at a Tokyo studio to appear on the television program Pokemon Sunday.
