Eguchi Aimi is a computer generated popstar created using the body and facial features of six members from Japanese band AKB 48. Eguchi Aimi has been created using the hair and body of AKB48 band member Yuko Oshima, while her facial shape is taken from Takahashi Minami.
She has Maeda Atsuko's eyes, Watanabe Mayu's eyebrows, Itano Tomomi's nose and Shinoda Mariko's mouth.
The band's management went to great lengths to convince the Japanese public that Eguchi was a real person, creating a profile on the group's website that describes her as a 16-year-old from Saitama Prefecture, north of Tokyo, whose hobbies were track and field sports.
There were clues as to her real identity, however, that fans quickly caught on to.
Eguchi blogged that her goal is "to become a new idol like never before by taking the best parts of my AKB big sisters," while her birthday - February 11 - is also the date of the founding in 1922 of confectioner Ezaki Glico. Read More
