Having a 5 year old son who is showing an interest in TV shows and Movies containing martial arts I recently went on the hunt for info (DVDs) of one of my favorite shows from my teen years Monkey (aka Monkey Magic). The sad piece of information I discover was that Masako Natsume (?? ??) the Japanese actress who played Tripitaka, the boy Priest, died tragically aged 27 from acute leukemia.
Wikipedia has a little entry on Natsume which has links to a sight about her burial monument and the Sunflower Foundation, a cancer organization dedicated to Natsume.
Can I still blame her for having a thing about cute, bald Asian women?
