Okada Kanna (Okapan) / 2nd Generation

^Well, Variety48 has been running for longer than any of the other HKT mainstream shows right now so I'd say it has pretty much some established audience.

But omg my bb is queen

Here's the cut where that screencap came from

Stop it Okapon

 

There's also a high quality version in H!O.

I seriously need to learn how to make GIFs. So many GIFabble scenes in this episode, like when she drinks the water and looks cool at the camera.

 

It's been bugging me for the longest time... like ever since I first saw her... Kanna totally reminds me of someone, but I just can't place it. Like maybe a Japanese actress or model I've seen before, or maybe an American one... or a videogame character even... Or maybe she just has one of those types of faces... her distinctly pretty features... they just seem so familiar for some reason. :dunno:

 

i made this one for you

 

@IXA: Thank you very much for the gif! Okapan acting cool is so great.

@aratafuru: Maybe she reminds you of the girl of your dreams? Seriously though, I can't imagine who it might be. But let us know if you ever figure it out!

 

^ Yah, never mind... I figured it out I think. Before I was trying to think of a real person, but only this morning did I think it might be an anime or videogame character instead. Kanna Okada reminds me of...

Spoiler

Yuna from Final Fantasy X



Yah, I'm a huge FF fan... finished 7,8,9,10,12 & 13. I think Kanna is just pretty in the exact same way that the CG FF girl heroines are always pretty... they always have similarly perfect features... nice almond shaped eyes, small pointy tipped nose, heart-shaped face with pouty cheeks and a narrow chin. That must be it. [nod]

 

*huge fan of ff too, my nick says... lol (beat all of then since 1 and playing 14ARR now)*


and you are right she resembles yuna...

and THIs fact is EPIC!

 

@arata, and now you're officially my best man

 

You're right, Okapan does look like that girl! Nice that you finally figured it out who it was. I'm an FF noob, I've only played XIII and I haven't even finished it.

 

^Not to change the thread's topic but on a very short note from someone who grew up with FF7 and beyond, FF13 was kinda shameful to play, sure the graphics are a revolution but it doesn't matter if everything became tasteless and just dead. What used to be legendary is now just sequlized for popularity, I hate it when people juice successful things into....well, FF13 and 14 XD

 

DreamingPebbles your welcome
yep , her eyes and her hair make her really look like that character

 

This Wednesday Okapan will be among the HKT48 members performing in the United States of Odaiba event. I haven't found a list of performing members, but I suppose it will be the senbatsu. Anyway, on Wednesday we should have a video or at least some pictures featuring Okapan.

Also, Chiizu posted this cute two-shot with Okapan.

 

She performed in Odaiba with a stunning ponytail


From Kanna, with love

 

OOOOOh those are Jin deui, also called sesame seed ball. Those are one of my favourite desserts, they are delicious! (and also very hard to cook)

i'm really impressed by how many of them she cooked, is it for her fellow 2nd gen nakama?



That girl is really awesome.

 

she cooked those balls by herself ? [clap]
a little bit out of topic , in my country those things are called 'onde-onde' http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onde-onde

 

Okapan looks incredibly cute in that picture with the jin deui! I didn't know this food. She calls them "gomadango". She didn't make them, it's from a restaurant. She says in the post that they ordered 30 and she ate 23 herself. She must really like this stuff.

I'd like to ask a favor though. For these big pictures from G+, could you guys post thumbnails instead of the full picture? This way the page will load faster for everyone. [nod]

 

The first time I saw her, I thought she looked like Yamada Nana from NMB. Like they could be sisters or something.

 

Here are Okapan's cards from Eikou no Labyrinth, the HKT card game that will be released soon.



Look at her signature, it's a heart that's shaped like a bowtie-wearing panda. (BTW that's where the "Okapan" nickname comes from, it's short for Okapanda)

In the first card she seems to be wearing the Hatsukoi Butterfly costume, which is the same that the other girls are wearing. I don't know why but it feels like a strange choice having the girls wearing this costume.

 

^I had no idea (about the nickname)

Anyways

my two bbs

 

yeah when and why she got that nickname ?
