Mion Sonoda • 園田みおん

Mion Sonoda is the very definition of iconic Asian beauty. She is easily one of the most beautiful women in all of Japan, with close competition from the likes of Yua Mikami, Julia Kyoka and Anri Okita. She, like Julia and Anri, has this uncanny quality where she straddles the border of what is regarded as the zenith of typical Asian beauty and a more exotic quality of westernized Asian women.

The Deets

Mion Sonoda (originally, Sonoda Misaki Keiko Kitagawa) was born in Kanagawa Prefecture, as a relatively shy 90's kid. She joined the industry at age 20 and quickly exploded across the region to become one of its most famous actresses on account of her stunning beauty and more than ample features. In fact, in high school, she was a most desired pursuit of many boys of the day, even though her interests were fairly narrow in that regard back then. Interestingly enough, that's where she met fellow actress Miharu Hasaki, who as it turns out, was also a childhood friend for over a decade.

If you're an introvert, you would love this woman. She enjoys being a homebody, who would much rather stay at home during weekdays watching anime and playing video games. Whenever she does go out, she ejoys the occasional Karaoke session. Seems like a fun, laid back kinda girl, right? You would never pick that up from the roles she has had during her acting career.

Mion has been a bit of an internet pioneer as far actresses in this industry go. She was actually attained early fame as a twitter model long before she became an actress. She amassed quite a following on twitter (some 10,000 followers, at least) just posting amateur modelling pictures of herself. It was this rabid following that, on the incitement of a modeling agency, that prompted her to becoming professionally involved in the industry as an actress and model.

Even though she retired in 2019 after only four years in the industry, you can still catch Mion online on twitter, instagram and YouTube. She has done some truly spectacular work as I'm sure you'd agree from the linked archive. Be sure to follow her socials for all the latest developments in her life. Links are on the right.
