Japanese hairstyles for african hair

I am going to be in a play that takes place in Japan and America and I'm playing a japanese family's teenage daugter. Do you think there are any good japanese hairstyles for african american hair? I really want to nail this part.

Nik, I think it depends on the character/personality of the girl instead of nationality. Is she a bookworm? Does she often cause troubles? Or what kinds of sports does she play and so on :)
Can you give us more info?

well she's shy and keeps to her self most of the time but is very friendy and kinda clumsy

I think thats what it's called, I watch a lot of anime and j-drama and normally the shy girl who keeps to herself has this hairstyle...? But yeah...a bob http://images.jupiterimages.com/common/detail/05/72/23317205...
