Risa Hugo: Hello. My name is Risa Hugo. Risa is a very common Japanese first name, and it's actually pronounced as Lisa. So my mother, who is Japanese, called me Lisa, and my father, who is Canadian, called me Risa. It's a bit confusing. I usually introduce myself as Risa because that's how it's spelled. My grandfather was French, so my family used to joke about being related to Victor Hugo. I don't think we are, but you never know.
