I've blogged about Shoko Nakagawa (known as Shokotan to her legions of fans) before. The popular multi-tasking entertainer has a curious fetish for cicada shells which she affixes, by the dozen, to her hair. She also enjoys photographing herself stuffing the heads of her cats into her mouth. Just the kind of gal you want to bring home to meet the parents, in other words.

Even more so now, with the publication of her 95-page photobook. The book offers something for everyone... well, every one of her anime-obsessed fans at least.

See Shokotan modeling anime costumes. See Shokotan relaxing around the house. See Shokotan in her underwear, waiting for you to dress her up in cosplay outfits and cheerleader uniforms... wait, what??

When we were very young, my sister and I would love visiting our grandmother on weekends. I would draw rocketships with crayons and my sister would cut out paper dolls and assorted outfits from family magazines like McCall's. The outfits would have tabs that you could bend back and hang on cutout figurines from the magazine. Charming and innocent... but no more.

Shokotan's paper doll page is conceivably appealing to little girls but will more likely be stoking more intense interest among teen boys, who will undoubtedly take great joy in dressing and undressing her nubile physique. Especially the latter. Careful guys, paper cuts can really sting.

Shokotan's photobook is available online though her website or from J-Box for $24.00 plus shipping. Run to get yours now; but put down those scissors first. (via
