If you asked people in Japan to name a famous singer/actor/hearththrob, chances are they’ll mention a man namedTakuya Kimura, most commonly known as “Kimutaku."
The 47-year-old has been in the public eye since he was signed to the Johnny & Associatestalent agency at the age of 15, going on to become one of the most famous members of boy band SMAP and branching out into acting, appearing in TV dramas and box office hits to huge success.
Even now that SMAP hasdisbanded, the nation holds a keen interest in Kimutaku and his wife,Japanese singerShizuka Kudo, and recently the couple’s second daughter,Mitsuki Kimura, known affectionately as “Koki," stepped out into the spotlight as well.
With 17-year-old Koki making her modeling debut last year, the couple’s eldest daughter,Cocomi, is now following suit, by starring on theMay cover of Japan Vogue, which is set to be released on March 28.
Fans in Japan are already fascinated by Cocomi’s photogenic features, with many saying she has the same eyes as her famous father.
Cocomi is much more than just a pretty face, though, as she’s alsoa talented musicianwho started playing the violin at the age of three and the flute at the age of 11. She’s set to enter university this year while keeping up with her music and modelling for fashion brands like Dior, who recently appointed her as one of their ambassadors.
With so much hype around Cocomi’s modeling debut, the new issue of Vogue looks set to sell out at news stands, just like the July 2018 issue of Elle Japan did when her sister Koki debuted on the cover.

’She has talent’
Have you heard her play?
I started playing guitar at about age 4. I can play it to a point but I don’t have any particular talent.

At least some positive news. At least she is real, has supportive parents and can ‘Make Japan Great Again’.

All you people claiming she got this silly because of who her parents are are simple angry because you did not choose your parents correctly like she clearly did.

Why is everyone so jealous? Were you all challenging a career in modeling and couldn't get it because your parents weren't cool enough?

Cocomi looks more like her Mom. On the other hand, Koki looks exactly looks like Kimutaku when he was a teenager. Stunning when you see her. Koki will probably be a very popular idol/actor like her father. Cocomi should just enjoy college and do her own thing, like her entrepreneurial momma.

And what if they were? Of course people who have the talent, but struggled and perhaps failed might feel envious of someone who could basically just stroll into that very same dream job. Especially in hard times, people might resent lavish attention given to someone whose only notable talent is being born to the right parents. It smacks of a modern version or royalty.

Stop complaining about her looks! She has the Takuya look, and that is very big here in Japan.

For some people, ugliness is not just confined to surface level.
I wish her well. She's up against a lot of jealousy. And misogyny.

Idle thoughts: I would prefer to see both of these lovely ladies on train advertising and replacing the overplayed models currently cursing my eyes.

Oh, I dunno. "stun" is defined as "to knock unconscious or into a dazed or semi-conscious state." Seems about right.
