Rina Koike (小池里奈, Koike Rina^?). (born September 3, 1993 Tochigi Prefecture, Japan)

Koike started a junior Idol career with the DVD Big Brother at age 10, when she was in 4th grade. Koike also works for Very Berry Production as a model. [1]

Koike Rina had a role on the live-action version of Sailor Moon, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon. She plays the character Sailor Luna, as Luna transforms to a young girl later on in the series.

She also co-hosted the Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Super Dance Lesson, on which she teaches the audience three different dances along with co-stars Miyuu Sawai and Myū Azama . These dances loosely follow line dancing. Sawai plays as Sailor Moon and Usagi Tsukino. Azama plays as Sailor Jupiter and Makoto Kino. Sawai and Azama wear special dance-costumes, but Koike is left out, wearing her everyday costume from the show.

Koike has now released a photo collection titled "Innocence."

She now has a role on the latest Kamen Rider Series, Kamen Rider Kiva.

[edit] Facts

Koike has a pet dog named Cheese: a Japanese midget and Shiba crossbreed.

Her favourite food is butter and peach croquette stew. Her favorite personal quote is, "やればなんでもできる！"--or, loosely translated, "If you try, anything's possible!!"

As of December 10, 2005, she is 157 cm tall. She likes taking club prints with friends, jazz dancing, drawing, swimming, playing piano and skipping rope.

Even though she had fun playing Sailor Luna, she wished she could have played Sailor ChibiMoon as her favorite color is pink.
