The�7th Toho Cinderella Audition has come to an end today, with the young 10-year-old 5th grader Kamishiraishi Moka winning over the rest of the contestants in a tough competition.
This time around marked the most popular audition ever, with a total 44,120 young girls applying with the dream of becoming the next big actress at Toho Entertainment, the in-house talent agency of major film distributor Toho.
Original Cinderella winner�Sawaguchi Yasuko, winner of the audition back in 2000,�Nagasawa Masami (also owner of a special judges award), and�Mizuno Maki came�to the finals and congratulated the young Moka.
Her older sister, Kamishiraishi Mone (12), won an award as well - the special judges award.
Moka is only 1.46m (4.8 feet) tall, but her big eyes and exotic features impressed all of the judges. �From the moment the host called her name as the winner, she was left in a daze, but she got back her bright smile as soon as her idols Mizuno and Nagasawa gave her the tiara, red mantle, bouquet and glass shoe.
She said, "It's like a dream. I'm so happy, I don't know what to say." A short moment later, she added, "I want to become an actress like Mizuno and Nagasawa who are able to move other people's hearts."
The other girls that have received a special judges award, in addition to Moka's sister, are Hayashi Narumi (14), Matsushima Junna (13), and Yamazaki Hirona (16).
Additionally, for the first time this year, Toho also gave out a prize called the "New Generation Award". Ogawa Ryo (10) and Hamabe Minami (10) both had the honor of being the first girls awarded with that prize.
