Random Sailor Moon Trivia:

Before Act 27 of the live-action series was aired, the Sailor Luna character was kept very secret. In the audition for the part, the only information given was age range and sex, and Bandai, the main official toy maker for the show, only released a silhouette of the Senshi character in its advertisements for new toys. This led to much speculation by fans as to her identity, as they wondered if she was Sailor Chibi Moon, Sailor Pluto, or an original Senshi.
