Bikini idol Aya Hirano and mangaka cosplay idol Shoko-tan have both been selected for a “Beautiful Lady Catalogue” which aims to “list completely belles representative of Japanese beauty.”
The ranking appears in TV rag “BLT,” with much of the rest of the ranking being taken up by drama actresses, idols and so on:

Shoko-tan, artiste, blogger and mangaka, shows off her pantsu:




Wikipedia actually now has an entire article devoted to “Shoko-tan go,” the 2ch/Vipper influenced dialect she alone speaks, evidently a topic of no small import, judging by the length of the article and level of lexical detail.
Aya Hirano, by now well known for her battle with obesity, shows her superb fashion sense and photogenic nature:


Just who's dick did Hirano suck to get on this list?
I would almost consider dating those girls. Even though they are real.
Dumbo ears = eww
I loved the pictures. I might fapp to this even though they are real girls :3
I'd date her so I could just have sex with her forehead.
Shoko-tan = Want!
Hirano = DO NOT WANT
I have nothing against Aya, yet her speaking voice makes me want to punch a baby. Nothing against Shoko either, though her need to eat her cats is a little bit concerning. I have no problem with them being on the list. The title is slightly misleading, as the article states they made the list, not that they are at the very top. I would personally have to vote for Mai Nishida though, who's near the bottom right of the whole list. She has an absolutely beautiful face and body, as well as excellent measurements. :)
You don't like Aya Hirano very much, do you?
Aya's okay and I aint got no shit against her,
but Man I can definitely let the guro slide on Shoko-tan's part because man what a amazing figure
damn, if these are japans more beautiful women, god i dont wanna even imagine the ugliest.
I have seen much hotter women, in those tokyohot porn vids. Like over9000 times hotter.
Is it just me, or is Aya Hirano going bald?
Actually with that stupid hairstyle everybody got a huge forehead.
That Shoko girl is hot.
Aya and Shoko-tan need to do an AV together.
How dare your bastard said that?
LOL why u pik those away pics lolol.
Aya is NOT HOT. No where near. Sorry people.
aya has sakuras billboard forhead LOLS
more like "women with most makes up and beauty salon addicts" i want beautiful natural women ;)
shoko-tan is win. aya hirano was better before than now. recognize a few other names on that list that i can't really disagree with though the lack of aya kiguchi disappoints me.
I LOVE Aya Hirano, absolutely adore her but I gotta go with Mai Nishida. She is possibly the most beautiful women on the planet.
Yay, so happy for Aya and shoko.
I don't see Misaki Itoh...
Man, I could open my Gravure Idols folder and throw a dart, and it'd land on a hotter chick. The flipside is that I'd suddenly be down a monitor, so I'll concede this round.
hey tokitou ami is on there too
No Yui Aragaki? And Aya Hirano ranks higher than Yuka Hirata?
And oh crap! One of them is only 12 years old!
Aya isn't cute at all unless she has her make up on.
what's wrong with aya hirano? Why do people hate her so much?
Hirano needs to die. :\
How can you choose sexiest when they all look the same :D
Because they don't look the same?
Shoko-tan is like the sexiest girl ever
i luv shoko-chan*drools*
Japan's most beautiful woman is (and has been for years) Fukada Kyoko. As for the above 2, Shoko is pretty but Aya? She's not even the prettiest seiyuu.
Shoko-tan is not only beautiful, but amazingly talented in quite a few different fields. I think there's nothing sexier than that.
Aya is practically the opposite. Unattractive (put that forehead away!)... and her seiyuu work is alright, but her singing is more like shouting and I think enough has already been said about her bikini idol days...
I never found Aya remotely attractive even when she was photoshopped so that she was barely recognizable as the horrible ugly tramp that she is.
I'd vote Eriko Sato, Jessica Asakura, or Maria Ozawa as Japan's Most Beautiful Woman, in that order.
Can we stop seeing those disgusting pics of Aya?
Shoko-tan's coming to Singapore this month. WOOT! \(^-^)/
Go to AFA in nekomimi and ask her to eat you... LOLOLOL
I see a Tanaka Rena! ^_^ Great!
I love how so many people bash her for her no-makeup appearances... I mean, the hair away from the forehead is a HUGE mistake when you're not gorgeous without makeup, but she's hardly ugly.
The Ayastyle remarks are totally deserved though.
i saw hirano's *ahem ahem* (bikini pic) :P
I'm glad that some late 90s idol (Ryoko Hirosue, Kyoko Fukada, Rena Tanaka) are there.
Where's the ranking part? It's just a list of all talents based on their name...
shoko tan? yuck! must not want fap to otaku
Aya Hirano and Shoko Nakagawa are both super sexy in my opinion. Too bad neither of them, like most Japanese women wouldn't want to spend five minutes with some American guy like me.
Keep dreaming (along with the rest of us)...
should i consider myself closer to my japanese girl dreams since im not american
Without make up is another story.
If somebody wonder whether a girl is really beautiful or not, wash her face.
needs more mizuki nana!!!
YES!!! MIZUKI NANA FTW!!!
Everyone who says Aya isn't attractive is gay.
That really hits the nail.
she isn't
Yea, her teeth surely attractive, and that silly hair style too, not to mention the way she laugh is very cute, just like my horse!!!
Aya is so beautiful she attracts Chikan kid.No wonder.
Well,where is Rie Tanaka?
who's that? I don't think many know her
aaah stupid anon.rie tanaka is more successful than bakaya.its only she does did so much stupidity like aya in order to gain popularity
Hey, I kinda like Shoko-tan especially her pics when she was trying to uhm eat a Sephiroth Play Arts figure. ^^;
Or when she is trying to huff her nekos...
What... happened to mistress Aya...
reality happened
More like, a bad hairstyle happend that would look ugly at everybody.
lol Japan. And I thought their taste couldn't get any worse from seeing all the lame top # charts on Sankaku recently.
Seems like former hamster-vampire-loli Tsuji Nozomi has "aged gracefully" =)
But, Hirano aya... again... ZETSUBOU SHITA !!!
ZETSUBOU SHITA indeed!!!
What the Heck.
Why isn't Yuko Ogura included there? xD
or did I just not see her?
wtf?r they blind?aya hirano most beautiful?that retard that cannot wear her bikini properly?gah the end is near
shoko is good btw,but y aya?
You know I remember when every guy was all over Aya being the most beautiful, awesome, etc. woman. Then at some weird curve it started to become unpopular to like Aya. I like her. I think she is very pretty, and she is a good Seiyuu. I'm her fan and I don't know why people started hating her awhile ago, but leave the girl alone she's awesome. Haruhi was great but Endless Eight made you hate the original? your love is weak otakus lol. rate me negative one I don't care.
You know people and their fickle ways. They love you until they find out everyone loves you. Then it becomes popular to hate you, so they -all- start to hate you to fit in.
Agreed i like aya's seiyu roles and whatnot and still think she is pretty.
just say she is talented all over :D
wrong.i dun like her from the start.all that cheap publicity gaining method she did.but i leave the chara the she play and God Knows alone(haruhi,konata) .
Tall Poppy syndrome.
Agreed ^_^ (The instrumental intro to "God Knows" is still my cell phone ring lol) >.>
I second this.
Yea, otaku are superficial as hell.
The only thing they care about are the looks. Once it has been revealed that they have a less beautiful side (like Aya), people give up on her.
In that sense, otaku aren't different as these so-called Paris Hilton types, only otaku care about the looks of other people, and not themselves.
she was selected via survey [most likely on the net]
guess whose fans are more like spam a net poll.. Aya's or that almost unknown bit player from tv.?
so yeah another example of why i never trust polls [be they IRL or online]
Where did anyone say this is a survey?
so howd they select the entries then?
one man selected them? a board?
maybe they wanted to add some women taht the "net crowd" can attach themselves to...
lo and behold shoko-tan [well she is pretty nice] and THE Hirano.
of course this arguement is being typed by a guy thats half drunk on flu medication, so take it as you wish
Does it relly matter how they selected them? shokotan is hot. I have never been an Aya fan but that having been said she is reasonably hot as well. Speaking of Aya while she is definitely a downgrade from her made up self in some of those pics if you compare her to a western woman sans makeup, I think we can all agree she wins hands down.
Go go shoko tan!
2D all the way!
filthy 3d pig is filthy
I found her Forehead is kawaii... cute :)
the forehead grows on you.
I would so fuck her forehead!. She battled obesity? she needs more meat on her.
wait are you talking about aya?
Is Saya Irie in it?
aya aint that hot
im sorry
but nozomi sassaki is japan's most beautiful women
NOZOMI SASAKI FTW =]
Hell yeah, i would vote for Nozomi Sasaki first, then Yumi Sugimoto then Momoco Tani then.......then finally i would put aya in with the rest of the idols in the "not bad" category
aya-chan... BUSU!
Wow, Lady Forehead is actually at the top...
Lady Forehead? :D
That's a Win.
All this talk of foreheads reminds me of Uehara Miyako from PaniPoni Dash!
To hell with the forehead!
Shoko-tan looks so good to fap
Now thats something juicier than a forehead resembling a flowerhorn fish.
Aya Hirano? Seriously? I mean, I love her voice but I never found her attractive, not even once. Now, Shoko-tan, that's a different story.
I think its the opposite. Have you ever heard her sing?
erk same here on the opposite thing. I think Aya's very attractive.
No offense to people who do think so - but I think Shoko is butt ugly. Uuuurrrr.
Most beautifull 3d woman...
... does not equal the most beautiful 2d woman...
+9999
Fantasy are alway better then reality.
+1
but not agree with anon
