1. What made you get into modeling?

You will have to look at the First Shoot" page!

2. Where were your born?

I was born in Okinawa, Japan.

3. How old are you?

Jeez, next question please.

4. What music do you listen to?

I grew up playing the piano and flute and hours of music lessons. As a result, I enjoy all kinds of music. Some of my favorites, and yes they are varied, include; Merle Haggard, Phantom of the Opera, Marvin Gaye, Metallica, Eminem and others. It is pretty varied for a little ole Okinawan woman like me.

5. What is your favorite book?

Don't laugh - Charlotte's Web! By E. B. White.

6. Do you enjoy your work on camera?

Yes, or almost always! It can be work on occasion as certain poses are physically demanding and the lights can get very hot. I have been lucky to work with a great group of photographers who have added to the enjoyment. Basically, I love being the center of attention and the "About Akira" pages might give you a few more hints why I like modeling.

7. What do I do to unwind after a hard day of work?

I first get out of my clothes and change into a t-shirt and sweats. Kick back on my sofa and have a glass of red wine. After I unwind, I head upstairs to work on the website and answer emails for couple of hours.

8. If I had a plane ticket and a hotel reservation -- like now, where would I go?

I would love to visit Greece. I heard you can layout topless on the beaches. Okay seriously, I would love to go sightseeing the Greek temples, eat gyros, go skinny dipping in the blue Mediterranean Sea.

9. If I could have one wish, what would it be?

World Peace. I eventually want to have a family and want my future children to live in a world with less anger, hatred and violence. "Can't we all just get along!!!"

10. What is the most sensitive part of my body?

Definitely the neck and shoulder area. I love it when a man nuzzles and kisses on the neck. A tingling sensation from head to toes.

11. What do I notice first about a guy?

First, the derriere - must be firm and plump. Second, I look at his face to see if he has a wonderful smile.

12. Are you bisexual?

No, I am not. I am what you call a "person who admires women's beauty." Maybe the correct word is bicurious however, I think it's a little strong as a description and tends to put one in a category so I prefer the latter. If I was not confident about my sexuality, I would not being doing shoots with other model friends. Some fantasies have been fulfilled and some have not. (Thank You Sally for the question.)
