1. Which celebrity do you think you look like?
I believe I am a one-of-a-kind presence. I have never looked for a celebrity I resemble, because my beauty belongs to me alone. Is there any other woman who can wear a shaved head as well as I can? I have transformed hair loss caused by chemotherapy into a symbol of my inner radiance. This positive mindset is my beauty—the ability to turn adversity into hope.
2. Which do your prefer? Talking on the phone or texting?
I prefer talking on the phone. Messages are convenient and easy, but nothing can replace the richness of the human voice. In today’s increasingly digital world, speaking on the phone feels even more intentional and thoughtful. Through direct conversation, we are able to share the emotions and energy behind joy, anger, sadness, and happiness.
3. What’s something you only do when you get bored?
I have never really felt boredom since childhood and have always lived with a strong sense of curiosity. In my free time, I often act on impulse, sometimes even taking a bullet train or flight spontaneously. By age 30, I had traveled solo to all of Japan’s prefectures, and after marriage, I continue exploring the world with my husband. I never miss a chance to enjoy life.
4. Are you overly loyal to any clothing brands?
Since shaving my head, I have been drawn to bold and vibrant designs. My wardrobe is filled with beautiful pieces from “Dress SARA” and “Joseph Ribkoff,” both of which are official partners of Mrs. International Japan. These brands reflect the sense of true strength and rich color that I value. For me, fashion is one of the ways I express who I am today.
5. What is the biggest risk you have ever taken?
The biggest risk I have ever taken was participating in a pageant while undergoing chemotherapy. Standing on stage as my true self during such a physically and emotionally unstable time required both courage and strength. However, this experience became a turning point in my life. I was able to meet wonderful people and transform adversity into hope. Now, I aim to become someone who can encourage and inspire others.
