Megumi Yokota's status as an abduction victim means that her photos have been staple fare for Japanese newspapers, magazines and television stations for some time.
This week, Yokota, who was kidnapped by North Korean agents in 1977, appears in an unusual format: a comic book.
The latest issue of "Manga Action" has "Megumi" as its cover feature, detailing how she was abducted as a 13-year-old from Japan's remote northwest coast.
