Agnes Nalani Lum, born on May 21, 1956 to a Chinese father and a mother of Hawaiian ancestry,
in Honolulu, Hawaii, is a gravure idol star, singer, actress,
and bikini supermodel popular in Japan in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
At that time, she was nicknamed “Lum-chan” in Japan,
though now that nickname can be confused with that of the fictional character Lum Invader from Urusei Yatsura.
Agnes Lum was the inspiration for the name of this character as she was extremely popular and well-known at the time the manga was first released (1977)
In order to avoid confusion with Agnes Chan, another popular idol at the time,
“Lum-chan” was used, though many fans called both simply “Agnes”. Lum has appeared in numerous calendars,
on posters, and magazine spreads, and these items regularly fetch high prices in the collectors market.
