The management office of actress Yōko Maki has announced via fax on Sunday that she gave birth to her first child, a girl. Both the mother and the baby are in good health. The 26-year-old actress is best known in Japan for acting in such films as The Princess Blade (Lady Snowblood), Infection, the first English-language version of The Grudge, and The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.
