How it's used
Names of foreign celebrities are often transliterated or kept in their original kanji form in Hong Kong media. Because Hong Kong has a long history of consuming Japanese pop culture, many people are familiar with her name even if they do not follow her career closely. It is treated as a proper noun and does not take a measure word when referring to the person herself.
