Yoko - Top 15
1. Which celebrity do you think you look like?
If I were famous, I'd choose the name "Grace Hana." "Grace" reflects quiet strength, and "Hana" means flower in Japanese. It reminds me that we can bloom at any age, with kindness and confidence. It's a name that feels true to who I am.
2. Which do your prefer? Talking on the phone or texting?
I would have loved to attend Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding. It was a moment of history and hope—a beautiful blend of cultures. Meghan's grace and strength inspired women worldwide. A royal wedding combines tradition, beauty, and unity, making it truly unforgettable.
3. What’s something you only do when you get bored?
I'll never forget receiving a Cabbage Patch Kid from my father. The soft doll with its sweet scent felt so special. It was my first connection to another culture and left a lasting impression. That small gift opened my eyes to the world beyond Japan.
4. Are you overly loyal to any clothing brands?
Only 5% of the ocean has been explored, yet it holds the origins of life. Even without light or oxygen, tiny organisms survive in extreme conditions. Some even live on jellyfish. I believe the ocean may hold answers for our planet's future. It's truly fascinating.
5. What is the biggest risk you have ever taken?
Climbing Mount Fuji was one of the hardest things I've done. I trained carefully, but strong winds and freezing temperatures challenged me every step. I didn't see the sunrise, but I reached the top. I'm proud of my effort-but once was enough.
