Nozomi Sasaki (佐々木 希, ささき のぞみ)


Name: Nozomi Sasaki (佐々木 希, ささき のぞみ)
Birthday: February 8, 1988
Occupation: fashion model and gravure idol

After working as a fashion model for nearly 7 years, Nozomi became famous as a gravure idol and main ringside commentator / spokesperson for the mixed martial arts competition Dream Fighting Championships and the kickboxing competition K-1 World Max.

Since late 2008 she has released photobooks, DVDs, and has also made countless appearances on television, magazines, and ads unrelated to fashion / cosmetic.

In 2010, she started her music career, debuting with the single "Kamu to Funyan" (噛むとフニャン) which featured rapper Astro and was used in the tie-in commercials for Lotte Fit's Chewing Gum. Her debut album Nozomi Collection was released on April 18, 2012.

She was given the nickname "No Mercy" for her countless reported atrocities toward other show-business girls she worked with especially toward actresses, glamour models, and fashion models from foreign countries, whom she considered to be "fat".
