Ayumi - Madonna
staying power, trendsetters, they both go against a lot of taboos (even if a lot of ayu stuff don't looks too bold in western eyes, a lot of things she did in her career are very complicated in japanese culture), the concerts, they both are top performers and they both releases music they like instead of what is hot at the moment.
Koda - Fergie
The sexy, little clothing, girl having fun based image (and don't start with the "koda is not like that anymore", I watched Taboo PV xD)
Namie - J-lo
R&B/Hip Hop dancing divas
BoA - Britney
Comercial pop princess with dancing oriented performaces
Hikki - Bjork?
But Utada's sound is much more comercial and less experiemental... So, I don't really now if they are anything alike... I don't really think that there is someone else like Utada in pop industry...
Ai Otsuka - Gwen Stefani?
They both sells using weirdness (clothing, pvs, concepts), childish image (don't need to explain Otsuka... but gwen is aways with some fairytale thing, pirate, circus, etc.), but trying to have fresh music
