Talent agency Amuse and Bandai recently held their 2nd Star Kids Audition, in search of the next big child stars. There were 20 finalists, ranging from ages 4 to 11. In the end, the Grand Prix was awarded to 9-year-old Yuria Okayama, a Fukuoka resident.
Okayama, along with the four other award winners, will become members of Amuse, and all of them are planned to debut as models for a new Bandai project.
