Miss Nozomi Sasaki has been the only Japanese woman to be nominated on the celebrity list, which has been voted on internet by international audience. She ranked as the 33th place.

Back in November, Miss Sasaki along with another Akita-born model, Natsuki Kato (加藤夏希), has just been commissioned as Akita’s Tourism Ambassodors. At the induction ceremony, the prefectural governor, Mr. Satake, has praised them as “the Super Akita-bijin”.

Miss Sasaki has been scouted as a model while working at a fashion mall building in front of JR Akita Station. From this spring, she has been appearing on media to promote the Tourism of Akita Prefecture.

The commission is part of the Prefecture’s effort to improve the image of Akita Prefecture. These two were selected because they have been nationally known as Akita-bijin (秋田美人), the beautiful women of Akita: Miss Natsuki Kato is from Yuri-honjo City, and Miss Nozomi Sasaki is from Akita City.

 
Miss Natsuki Kato spent her life in Akita Prefecture until her middle school years. She was scouted and debuted as an image girl of a game company. Miss Nozomi Sasaki was scouted by a magazine company when she was working at a fashion mall building in front of JR Akita Station.

 
They have been promoting Akita prefecture by providing information about Akita on TV programs and appearing at local events and posters.
