About Me

Originally from Tokyo, Japan, I lived in Osaka, Florence Italy, New York, Los Angeles/Hollywood, and now live in San Francisco with my loving husband, a golden retriever, a cat, and one betta, silvertip tetra, 6 cardinal tetras, one spotted nerite snail, 1 bumblebee snail, 4 amano shrimp and 6? tiger shrimp. I'm 3/4 Japanese, 1/4 German, and proud to be a mutt : ) I'm a model, translator, and production coordinator for Japanese TV projects.I don't smoke or do drugs, and I only drink at a rate of couple of times a month. I drink lots of tea and decaf-coffee on rare occasions. I cook & bake well, and hold occasional sushi parties at our house. I have a herb/veggie garden that I started last summer in Hollywood but in SF I have no yard so I'm plotting a container/indoor garden right now. I'm also secretly planning on growing shiitake mushrooms at home. I am a bit of a maniac when it comes to cleaning and organization... I'm a nerd, but I also love to go out and dance. I kung fu and will scratch and bite if you tick me off enough: P It takes a lot of effort to upset me but once I reach that point, I am not a forgiving person (I slay and move on).I think my alter-ego is some superhero... I always have pretty gory dreams and I'm always avenging the evil in a pretty bloody way. My husband calls me Chan-bot because I often get in the zone and turbo-work, turbo-organize, or turbo-clean the house like a robot... but the rest of the time I'm sleeping in, napping with my cat, watching TV, and just being happy.I try not to add random friend requests unless they are clearly in my industry :)WHAT DO I DO FOR A LIVING?Model, Production Coordinator, translator, designerABOUT ME MODELING: saschaokamoto.carbonmade.com Seeking paid jobs and magazine tears, some tests with remarkable photographers.
