An interview with Maia Kealoha, the 8-year-old who plays Lilo in "Lilo & Stitch"

Maia Kealoha, the 8-year-old Hawaiian who played Lilo in Disney's live-action film "Lilo & Stitch" (directed by Dean Fleischer-Camp, currently in theaters), recently visited Japan for the first time and gave a direct interview to MAiDiGiTV.

Maia, with her hair in a bun and a ribbon, was smiling throughout the photo. She talked a lot about her impressions of Japan, her favorite foods, and her dreams for the future.

When asked about her favorite Japanese word, she said, "Cute!" and made a peace sign, and when asked, "What's your favorite scene?" she stood up from her chair and recreated it with Stitch using gestures and movements, and she was in a good mood throughout the interview.
