Prototypical pop star Aimi Eguchi, the “ultimate love bomb,” was a member of the Japanese pop group AKB48. She sang, appeared in magazines and TV commercials, and was gaining popularity—until it was revealed that she didn’t exist (http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/fake-japanese-pop-star-surprises-fans/story?id=13926819). Aimi was a prototype. She was a computer-generated image with facial features that were based on each of six real people in the group, making her the group’s most prototypical member.
