I caught this Target ad the other day while watching a past episode of The Big Bang Theory via Comcast / Video-on-Demand (VOD). What caught my eye was the pairing of an Asian woman and an African American male. At first I thought the actress might have been Korean, but in the YouTube comments, someone had noted that the actress is Japanese model / actress Tao Okamoto, who made her film debut in as the female lead, Mariko Yashida, opposite Hugh Jackman, in The Wolverine. She is also the face of Ralph Lauren.

Thanks for rating this! Now tell the world how you feel - .
(Nah, it's cool; just take me back.)
