Stage Name
At her audition in 1996, she introduced herself as "Sheena Ringo" for the first time. "Ringo" means "apple" in Japanese. She said that "Ringo" originated from her class nickname when she often blushed in public, and from The Beatles' drummer Ringo Starr.
She declared recently that she followed the naming of the pen name of her favorite manga artist, Sensha Yoshida. His first name is just a name of an object like Ringo ("Sensha" in this case meaning a "Battle Tank" in English). She thought that those who heard her name would be shocked by that.

Famous quotes containing the word stage:
“Self-pity in its early stage is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable.”
