Reiko Nagase is a cute
female character created for the Namco
Playstation title "
Ridge Racer 4". She's part of a large tradition of japanese
virtual idols.
There are nasty rumours about the face of the girl being actually a reshaped scan of the face of the modeller (a man), but i just can't believe it until i see further evidence.
Update: this is supposed to be an scan from the
Incite Video Gaming magazine - February 2000
