Sonozaki Wakana

From TV-Nihon

園咲若菜

A character on Kamen Rider W.

Played by Asuka Rin 飛鳥凛

Character

Is a radio idol for the city of Fuuto. She has the personality of a spoiled daughter of a wealthy father, but hides it under a facade. The only clue that she isn't as sweet as she appears in public is that she clicks her tongue to express exasperation.

She does not seem to get along with her family, especially her older sister Sonozaki Saeko. She dotes over her pet cat, Mikku, who becomes Smilodon Dopant.

Despite her questionable motives, she seems to genuinely enjoy the company of Philip, who she does not know the face of initially.

Wakana's Healing Princess Radio Show

In the show, Wakana's show is played over the Wind Wave radio station. At the same time, an Internet version of the show was also broadcast along with two other shows.

The radio show sometimes mentioned events that happen in the main story, but for the most part was a completely separate entity. The radio show was about 10-20 minutes in length typically and was broken up into corners. In between segments, a song from the show would be played, usually one of the show insert/battle songs.

Sometimes Wakana would plug events for her friend Asuka Rin, who is the actress who plays Wakana.

There were a couple live versions of the Healing Princess show. One of which was recorded for a W live show DVD. This show had guests from Kamen Rider W, as well as the singers for the opening song.

The Internet show suddenly stopped when Wakana quit her radio show in the story. On June 6, the blog notes that Wakana was unexplainable absent that week. On June 13, the site regrettably announced that the show had been cancelled, with no explanation.

Clay Doll Dopant

Like the other members of Museum, she uses a driver to avoid the debilitating effects of the Memory. As Clay Doll, Wakana can endlessly be revived, even when broken to pieces. She has a cannon weapon on her left hand in this form.

Later on, she powers up and becomes Clay Doll Xtreme, which the Asahi site spells "Xtream".
