Fan Casting N.E.S.T. Commander Yukio Minami in TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON (NOLAN'S DIRECTION)

Yukio Minami is the girlfriend of Misato Suzuki and the field commander at N.E.S.T. who must save earth from being taken over and destroyed by Sentinel Prime and the Decepticons. She's a strong and brave woman who has been through a lot as she lost her father and her brother when he died during Blackout's attack on the SOCCENT BASE and is willing to save her home and her loved ones. Yukio Minami replaces Sam Witwicky for the lead role as Nolan wanted the main protagonist to be more brave and strong and not be a whining ass like Sam Witwicky and wanted a female lead character who's been through a lot.
