Erika Tamura is a star in her native Japan. She’s been working professionally since the age of thirteen, and her first big-screen appearance was in Afternoon When Flowers Fell (1989), directed by Kazuki Omori, better known Stateside for his work on the Godzilla TV series. Erika also has a musical career, which some liken to Britney Spears for her teen appeal. Erika’s very appealing in her first American-production starring role, the comedy Surf School (2006). In it, she proves that a bikini is really the best costume for an actress, other than her birthday suit, which hopefully Erika will be donning soon.
