About Space Battleship Yamato's Yuki Mori (+ Promo Videos)
WHO-IS YUKI MORI aka NOVA?: "Initially Dr. Sado's nurse, Yuki gained the additional responsibilities aboard Yamato of operating the radar, performing computer calculations, taking care of the crew's morale and searching planets for food sources. She is from the outset attracted to Kodai, but conceals her true feelings with girlish glee. As the only significant female crewmember, she is also frequently the victim of fan service. Her Japanese name means "forest snow", creator Matsumoto being fond of female characters with "Yuki" (snow) as part of their name" [Wiki]
"Yuki Mori" will be played by actress Meisa Kuroki in the upcoming live-action "Space Battleship Yamato" feature film [blogged with Teaser Trailer] and is the genesis of this post actually. And no, that is not her in the promo video above [CLICK THRU for another!] but nevertheless good for "visual reference" if indeed they decide to go spandex for the feature film ... *cough*
[Below: How Meisa Kuroki's Yuki actually looks like in the live-action feature!]
