Leah Dizon named as official “representative” of Ninja Gaiden

Gamefront.de reports that Filipino-American Japanese Race Queen idol, Leah Dizon, has been named by Tecmo as the official representative of the Ninja Gaiden series. Other than being a Race Queen model, Dizon is also a photo model, a singer, and a television star.

Why the need to get a Japanese Idol to promote the Ninja Gaiden franchise? Well, for one thing, they can move a crowd. Consider, for example, what happens when two idols meet. Below is a video of Jpop idol/godess Utada Hikaru and Leah Dizon, and the hilarity the occurs when they meet:

If moments of awkwardness like that are enough to get a huge crowd of Japanese to laugh along with the idol magic, then what more if said idols are actively trying to promote something? It’s not just their sex appeal. They’re like mystical Japanese zombie generators or something. Sigh, it’s a cultural thing.

Note: It’s very difficult to find a picture of Leah Dizon that doesn’t double as pin-up-y or soft-core-porn-y, so I hope that the video suffices.
