Konnichiwa! My name is Kimiko Tanaka and I'm 20 years old. I was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan, where I still live today. Growing up in the bustling streets of Shibuya taught me how to navigate crowds with ease and how to be resourceful. But it also made me feel like I blended into the background at times.

That's why I decided to start taking dance lessons when I was 16 years old. Dancing allowed me to express myself in ways that didn't involve hiding behind a crowd of people. My parents were supportive, but they worried about my safety since I started dancing at night clubs. Little did they know, it ended up being one of the best decisions for me.

Dancing became an outlet for all my emotions and helped me develop confidence in front of others. As a result, I started taking modeling lessons too. And now, here I am! At 20 years old, I've already had some amazing experiences and opportunities in Tokyo's entertainment industry.

But being a model comes with its own set of challenges. I often get judged based on my looks or feel like I have to conform to certain standards that don't always align with who I am as a person. It can be frustrating at times, but it's something I'm working through and learning to navigate every day.

In my free time, I love trying out new restaurants around Tokyo and exploring hidden gems in the city. My favorite food is tonkatsu - you know, that crispy fried pork cutlet? I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! What about you? Do you have any favorite foods or hobbies?
