Cannot read the Japanese sources, but looks like a run-of-the-mill dancer to me. Edwardx (talk) 00:19, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Not every dancer gets as much media attention as Sugawara. There's a lot of it, some of which is about her commercials for big brands (Nike, Shiseido), some about a minor scandalous allegation, and some of it because she is a sort of "It" girl. Here are links to lists of articles about her at Nikkan Sports [1], Modelpress [2] Natalie [3] Oricon [4]. As with any celebrity a lot of the coverage reflects PR work, but it's also worth noting that the article's current formatting masks the difference between appearing on a variety show (which happens to many celebrities), and being the subject of documentary shows like Jōnetsu Tairiku [5] and 7 Rules [6].

Keep has substantial coverage in multiple reliable sources and many television appearances, passes WP:GNG as sources do not have to be in English, thanks Atlantic306 (talk) 11:01, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
