1. not enough japanese actresses maybe?
2. casting agents probably more concerned bout acting ablility for role vs. actual ethnicity? (well...at least it ain't a white girl w/ a ton of make-up to look asian)

hollywood's always weird tho...

fantastic four's invisible woman is supposedly like...in her 30's...not jessica alba =P

it was in the news/gossip (chinese ones at least) that she slept around or something to get her name out? not to sure bout that part. but people were saying that in most movies she had some sex-related scenes (or at least some partial nudity)

another interesting gossip was that she was seeing this politician's son in china. boy's mother adamantly disapproves of her because of what she did in movies and that zhang ziyi is "indecent". i don't think the guy was good looking in the first place. this was a year ago.
