RUSHIA IS COOL! Meeting Pink Jaguar Again!

During Golden Week, on May 2, I attended an event at which Rushia (a.k.a. Lucia) Santo was the main guest. Santo-san is an actress-singer whose career dates back to the early 1970s. She is best known for playing Pink Jaguar in Daitetsujin 17 (1977), and she also can be seen in Nobuhiko Obayashi's The Visitor in the Eye (1977).

She's very friendly, and I had a great time chatting with her. Although I know her mostly for her work as Pink Jaguar, I should really delve into her non-genre works.

On Wednesday, November 21, I attended a live performance by Rushia (a.k.a. Lucia) Santo, an actress-singer whose career dates back to the early 1970s. Santo-san is best known for playing Pink Jaguar in Daitetsujin 17 (1977), and she also can be seen in Nobuhiko Obayashi's The Visitor in the Eye (1977).

Santo-san was more than a little surprised to see that an American was familiar with her work in Daitetsujin 17. I enjoyed her show and look forward to attending the next one!
