On August 28th, young actress Shiho, who is especially known for her role as 'Nozama Tomoko' in the recent 'Kamen Rider Fourze' series, has released her first photo book called 'SHIHO' and showed that she wasn't afraid of taking a couple of bold shots.

In the series she plays a peculiar girl who works at the Witches' Sacrifice occult store after school and is indirectly involved in the creation of the 'Kamen Rider Club'. She wears black makeup under her eyes and helps the club by being able to sense the supernatural.

In real life she's a beautiful 19 year-old actress who will be turning 20 in October, and has already played various smaller roles in a great number of dramas. Her beauty, with and without makeup, was already shining through in the series, but in her first photo book you can enjoy it to the fullest, along with rare swimsuit pictures and even some more daring shots as proven by cover seen above.

Shiho commented, "The water in the river was cold and it had also already become cold during the evening shoots, but it was a lot of fun." It's said that she herself was surprised by her natural smile in some of the pictures. "The pictures when I'm smiling, those are my favorites," she continued. "The pictures with me having fun while wearing the red swimsuit or while I'm touching my butt are great as well. The latter was done completely unconsciously... One of my habits."

About her upcoming 20th birthday, she expressed, "I want to further expand my acting and my range of roles. It's not about looking good on screen, but about being able to fascinate the viewers. That's what I want people to say about me, that's the kind of actress I want to become."

'SHIHO' can be found on the bookshelves now.
