Elaiza Ikeda: Her intro post #1....

 Beginning of the year had said I was probably through introducing new women for here. That didn't happen but there haven't been all that many intro posts compared to previous years. Actually it's a good thing I have done a few as Rika, Shizuka and Marie have been quite popular so far, may have one other newbie coming up very soon.
 But for today it's Elaiza which is a name I've never seen before and bet many others haven't either. Her last name name is Japanese as her father is from there, her first name Elaiza must be a Filipino name as that's where her mother is from. She was born in the Philippines but didn't reside there long as she was raised in Fukuoka, she looks more Japanese to me than anything else. Elaiza also resembles, at least in this pic, some retired gal with the initials NH.

 Elaiza turned 21 on April 16th, another gal I really like shares that b-day but can't think of who it is. She's been mainly a model since 2009 when she won a Nicola contest but the last few years her acting career is taking off, more about that at the bottom of the post. Elaiza has been an exclusive model for CanCam, will have some of her fashion show appearances coming up as there should be a few more of these intro posts.
 Like many other actresses and models Elaiza is much taller than J-Pop Idols whose average height seems to be barely over five feet, she stands 169 cm which is about 66 inches. On to a few tidbits for today, not too many things for her first post though there are many dazzling pics. That adjective doesn't quite describe how Elaiza looks in these Peach John pics from 2016, whewwww....

 Just two mag spreads for today as Elaiza doesn't appear in as many as she deserves, more will be coming up. This way too small set is from the February 28th edition of SPA!.

 Older spread for her is from the September 21, 2015 issue of Young Magazine.

 Mentioned above that Elaiza's acting career is starting to take off and she has the lead role in the upcoming film "Ichirei Shite, Kisu" which has it's premiere on November 11th. Elaiza plays the character of An, another name which is very uncommon. She's totally into Kyudo(archery) but it's also a love story, it's based upon a manga which I haven't read but it's a very popular series. Plenty of pics here from a press conference today for the film which was held at the Shinjuku Baltic 9. There's a video of the event but instead of that have the film's trailer which you can view after the pics.
