After graduating from Tachibana Gakuen High School, she put in some time as a dental assistant before turning her full attention to slaying the modeling game. When she’s not posing for the camera, she’s playing hardball – literally – with baseball and softball, and she’s no slouch in short-distance running either.

Akemi’s got a furry friend to keep her company too – a cute little cat named CoCo. Her family tree’s pretty interesting too – her dad’s Japanese-Brazilian and her mom’s Italian, which explains her unique look. Unfortunately, they split up when she was young, but that hasn’t stopped her from shining bright.

Another model making waves with similar roots is Juliana Minato – she’s also got those Japanese-Brazilian vibes going on. These girls are repping their heritage and looking good while doing it!
