Every guy has a reason to play games. Games kill time, add an element of competitiveness, and allow us to socialize while having fun. Well we now have an additional incentive to playing games, as rising popularity of gaming have led to more and more prominent ladies playing them.
Check out this list of sexy Asian female gamers on everyone’s radar.
Hikaru Utada, 28, Singer, Japan
Right, so we all know Utada as a demure, beautiful and charismatic JPOP singer most famous for her hit single “First Love”, but do you know she’s a Tetris champion as well? Yes, not just a Tetris player, but a Tetris champion.
Also known as the “Queen of Tetris”, Utada has defeated many challengers in Japan and boasts of several mind-blowing records such as her NDS high score of 99,999,999.
Linda Liao (aka Pikachu), 29, Singer, Actress
The Taiwanese babe made a name for her in the entertainment industry for her multiple talents in acting, singing, and of course, hosting her Weekly Top 20 MTV Chinese programme.
Well, we can add gaming to her already broad array of talents now, since Linda has proven her pro-gaming mettle in Starcraft 2, winning the ESL Starcraft 2 female championship. Along with the Emperor of Terran SlayerS_BoxeR, Linda was recently recruited into Team Razer, so expect her to be the next big poster girl of Starcraft 2.

Haruna Anno, 22, Idol & Model, Japan
Widely known as retro gaming’s greatest pin-up model, Haruna Anno started retro gaming at the age of 17. Since then, she has developed a real passion for 8-bit games like NES Mario and even amassed a huge collection of 8 and 16 bit games.
Haruna also has a big reputation for Street Fighter 2 so if you ever catch her in a Japanese arcade playing the game, approach with caution.

Seo Ji Soo (TosSGirL), 25, Pro-gamer
If you play Starcraft or Starcraft 2 even semi-casually, you would have heard of TosSGirL for sure, unless of course you happen to be playing SC2 under a rock. TosSGirL is a sensation. With looks and a figure to kill, she chose to pursue pro-gaming at the tender age of 17 after watching SlayerS_BoxeR play the Terran race on television.
Although she has never beaten Boxer since becoming a pro-gamer in 2001, she has famously disposed of Boxer’s all time rival, [NC]YellOw in the WCG 2005 preliminary rounds. Her accolades include a bunch of gameTV female league championships, as well as victories against top starcraft pro-gamers.
Tammy Tang (aka furryfish), 26, E-Sports Executive
Tammy Tang is as close to a Singaporean female gaming celebrity as you can get. As the leader and co-founder of Singapore’s very own proud all-female Defense of the Ancients (DotA) team, Team PMS Asterisk, Tammy embraces an admirable mentality towards gaming.
The Raffles Junior College and National University of Singapore graduate strongly believes that girls can be just as competent and competitive as guys when it comes to gaming, and has come a long way to show that team PMS is capable of clinching titles in traditionally all-male DotA competitions.
