she is Sailor Mercury (Ami) in PGSM (live action)

Your so lucky!!!

[haruka173]

She changed her name. Rika Izumi is the real name of Chisaki Hama, the actress playing Sailor Mercury in PGSM.

[arisa]

^ why did she change her name?

I don't think she chose to, as much as her agency at the time PGSM was in production, Snow Rabbits Production (I kid you not), did for her. According to the sometimes-reliable Wikipedia and this page, there was another idol named "Rika Izumi" (which would most possibly not be that idol's real name, as adopting a stage name seems to be fairly common in Japanese show business) at the time, so she needed to be distinguishable. In the Special Act and DVD-only Act Zero PGSM episodes, she was credited simply as "Rika".

[arwentheelf02]

Makes sense...in Sera Myu, one of the Venuses was simply named "Erica".

[AmyAnn]

Yeah, someone else was called Rika Izumi. Strangely enough, both her real name and disguise (?) name both have references to water from what I remember...how coincidental

[otakuartistgirl]

wah!!! lucky! i wish i were you...

[ladylilith]

Oh how sweet!XD It's true, you were very lucky and she's so adorable!

[Moon light real girl]

ok...... is this real?! and if i ask you for her email or address would you just give me yours?! i am so super serious and i realy love her (not in a gay way.... just the fat she is my idol)! If I did mail her, does she understand full sentences or did you have to break them down for her? Whats her real name? if you know any other sailor scouts addresses (email or home) PLEASE tell me! i am a person with dreams, and i would like to pursue them!
