Richie and Gemma McCaw's baby daughter has made an immediate impact at the Rugby World Cup in Japan.

Charlotte McCaw has been stealing hearts in Tokyo, courting cameras in the public eye and capturing the attention of Japanese locals.

Former Black Stick, Gemma, Instagrammed a gorgeous photo of Charlotte capturing the attention of impressed locals on Thursday.

She captioned the photo "When you get more photo requests than your Dad," a reference to the former All Black captain.

We made it to Tokyo and will sleep well tonight, hopefully she does too 😆Thanks for all the traveling tips, they were very much appreciated. Lottie did well and had so much fun she stayed up most of the way (no tears though) 😂 Who would’ve thought a cup would provide so much entertainment on board?! We are looking forward to exploring this beautiful city and if anyone has any recommendations especially in the Ginza district please let me know 🙏 #tokyo #travel
