Oricon surveyed 600 females ranging from their teens to their forties, asking them which celebrity they consider to be a "good woman" ("ii onna").
The #1 answer was actress Yuki Amami, described as being cool, strong, and beautiful. Once a member of the Takarazuka Revue, Amami has developed her image as an admirable and capable woman.
At #2 was Miki Maya, also a Takarazuka graduate. Women who voted for Maya commented on qualities such as her natural beauty and her elegance.
Nanako Matsushima ranked 3rd. While her good looks and acting skills certainly earned her points, women also admired her for her abilities at home. She is currently the mother of two children with her husband, actor Takashi Sorimachi.
