Pacific Rim doesn't come to Japanese cinemas until August 9th.
But Japan is already making a great deal of hype due to the praise given to Mana Ashida for her performance as Young Mako by director Guillermo del Toro.

This guy lauded a little asian girl!




But who is this Mana Ashida? She's the biggest current child star in Japan. Still only 9 years old, he has appeared in 13 feature films, 15 TV dramas, released 4 singles and 1 album, and appeared in numerous commercials including one where she hilariously dressed up as a chicken.

She does it for the dough
With her praised performance in her Hollywood debut, her future looks as bright as ever. Let's just hope that she doesn't end up like all those other child actors in Tinseltown.

The latest victim of the child star curse
