Features - Babes and TO's Hottest Talent

Nana is a beautiful, young but amateur model here in Toronto that we would like to introduce to you dear visitors. Nana was born and raised in Japan. According to her history she claims her ancestor was Samurai and she is the 16th generation of them. Her family is very traditional and she thinks she is the black sheep of the family who escaped from their home in Tokyo to here Toronto about 2 and a half years ago.

She says “People always asked me why I left Japan. They think Japan is a cool country to live in. Sure, there is a lot of technology, mass of subway lines, millions of buildings... but I felt so lonely in that big city with billions of people. Also sexism still exists in Japan, meaning females are lower than males. Japanese people are judged by their age in their country.

I grew up with this question ‘why am I here?’ I should move somewhere that I can gain my potential, people treats me equal regardless my age and gender.... so I made my way to Canada when I was 19 all by myself. This experience made me special because it was such a big challenge for me to move here in Canada without knowing anybody and speaking any English.”

Wow, I was so shocked with her life story, I mean accepting all the risks of moving somewhere else in the age of 19, no language skills, alone with no cultural support or approval is a big step. Considering this huge decision she made in her life tells me she is more of an action girl rather than a talking girl.

I can see that not only does she have a great appearance, but she also has a great and strong personality that can make her way to success, maybe here is the evidence that proves she is really the descendant of the Samurai.

She’s been modeling for one year now and as soon and she started she realized this is for her and she fell in love with it. Nana sees her self been an international model in 5 years.

What makes her different from other models? She says “there are so many Asian models but not so many authentic Japanese models in Canada and that makes me different from other models” but she always like to learn more to improve her posing and facial expressions.

I asked her which part of her body are her favorites, and she answered her eyes and her butt. She used to be a cheerleader back in Japan so she thinks she has a perfect shape butt. <grin>

Her weakness is cheese and all you can eat Sushi and she cosider's the perfect man who
would calls her beautiful instead of hot, someone who kisses her forehead and says “there you are!” instead of saying “Here I am!”

There it was introducing Nana and I hope you all enjoyed my interview with her. She seems like a strong, beautiful and sweet girl and Today’s Toronto wish her all the best and success here in Toronto/Canada.
