Formerly Japan’s premier female bodybuilder and weightlifter, Michiko Nishiwaki‘s powerhouse punches are certainly more than just an act. Since she refused to use performance enhancing drugs of any sort, she was an inspiration to fine looking femme fatales the world over, but especially in Japan. After winning multiple titles by flexing her multiple titties, Ms. Nishiwaki took her talents to the film industry. She did some acting work in America in TV series like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Fantasy Island and in the Jim Carrey movie Man on the Moon (1999), but with very few roles open to Asian actresses, Michiko made probably the smartest move of her career by becoming a stunt performer for the established ones. She doubled for Lucy Liu in Charlie’s Angels (2000) and Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004), for Kelly Hu in The Scorpion King (2002), and for Marie Matiko in Forbidden Warrior (2005). She also did unspecific stunt work for such hit films as Blade (1998), Rush Hour 2 (2001), Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003), Collateral (2004), Memoirs of a Geisha (2005), Mission Impossible III (2006), and Resident Evil: Extinction (2007), as well as for shows like Mortal Kombat: Conquest and True Detective. Unsurprisingly, she’s had better luck acting in Japanese films, like Young Lady Detectives: Heart Beat! (1987), where she’s involved in a slow-moving photoshoot that gives us flashes of her breasts. Michiko now lives in the United States with her family and seems to be staying busy, staying strong, and staying sexy!
