What were you doing when scouted? Waiting for a friend.

Favorite clothing store? I'm not sure. I don't go to any fancy stores. I like cheap stuff, maybe online. I really like jeans. I've been here only like four months so most my clothes are from Japan.

How often do you go shopping each month? How much do you spend? I don't usually shop a lot, but when I spend money on clothing or stuff, $200.

How would you describe your style? American casual plus Japanese tastes.

What time do you get up? How long do you spend getting ready? Normally I wake up at 6:30 or 7. I need 30 minutes to get ready, at least.

Favorite trend? I like Japanese rappers' style. Not big, not too skinny. Do you know A Bathing Ape (or BAPE, a Japanese clothing company)? No. Pharrell Williams and Kanye West, they like BAPE.

Least favorite? The Gap. Everyone has the same thing.

Tattoos? Piercings? No, but I want to. What do you want to get? I think a skull or a tiger, or a panther. Where? Maybe my right arm.

Favorite coffee shop in Lawrence? Starbucks. There's a lot of Starbucks in Japan too.

Favorite place to go out? Local Burger. I don't eat meat. I really like their veggie burger.

Is there anything you'd like to see more of in Lawrence? Understanding to international students. Less of? I don't know.

Who do you think is stylish? I like Pharrell Williams because he's not too big, and I like hip-hop.

Tell us a secret: I don't know:Sushi is totally different from Japan here. In Japan, most sushi places are either really expensive or really reasonable. But if you go to a really expensive one, sushi is more sophisticated than here.
