Tomie: Beginning
Tomie Kawakami (川上 富江) is the main character in Junji Ito’s horror comics from Japan, as well as the title character in a string of Japanese horror films made from 1999 – 2005. Tomie is played by a different actress in each film, the role as coveted by Japanese starlets as Emmanuelle is in France. As such, this changing roster of faces has allowed for a range of interpretations and subtle shading to the part, the most beloved being Miho Kanno and Nozomi Ando.
