Koyuki is such a strange name...isn't that supposed to be Yukiko(snow child)?

[Lyon]

It sounds funny

But actually her name Koyuki means "Little snow"

And almost all Japanese simply call her Koyuki

such a high nose bridge she has I like to joke that I have a Japanese nose, 'cause it's very narrow in comparision to it's length

[Lyon]

Then you have a nice nose

[Hime]

haha I used to hate it a lot when I was younger, but now that I see that half of Japan uses nose-stretching machines I'm pleased with it Koyuki's very beautiful, she's so elegant

[Lyon]

"Elegant", exactly the point I love her! -Crazily nodding-

I think most of the asian girls want their noses be straighten so badly, lol

[Hime]

I think natural nose is the best it always matches the face. look at Zhang Xue, very flat nose, 100% match to the face, as a result = a very beautiful face ~ enogh talking.
