Where are you from? Where are you based now and do you travel for shoots?

I’m from Japan and California. I’m based in Colorado Springs, CO, for now, and yes, I often travel for shoots.

Who or what inspired you to become a model?

I was always told I should model and I started when I was young.

How and when did you start modeling?

I started modeling prom dresses in a retail store when a photographer spotted me and I’ve been modeling ever since. That was 19-years ago!

What type of modeling do you enjoy the most?

I enjoy all types of modeling, but, I think my favorites are doing things that stand out and are unique.

What do you look for when deciding to work with a photographer?

I look at their portfolios. I love to see different photographer’s visions.

Which models or other artists currently inspire you?

I love Holly Wolf. She always inspires me with her ideas and all of her photoshoots. I’m in a relationship with a really talented photographer too! 

What would be your dream shoot?

I have so many dream shoots, and most involve cosplay, which I shoot all the time.

How important is social media in your success?

Social media is a huge part of my success. I have been featured on TV and that really helped grow my social media.

What else do you like to do outside of modeling?

I love playing video games!

What’s the best career advice you can give to new models?

I would say that modeling is tough. You have to work at it and you need to have thick skin to be in this industry. I’ve worked my butt off for 19-years but it’s worth it if you’re willing to put all the work in.
