I’m Only 5'6" - How I Became a Runway Model in Japan

I’m only 5'6" so how did I become a runway model in Japan? In this video, I’m sharing the story of how I got into modeling, from my first modeling jobs as a teenager to castings, runway shows, and building my career in Japan. I started modeling when I was young, and over the years I’ve experienced everything from commercial shoots and fashion campaigns to walking in Tokyo fashion shows. Being a petite model in an industry where height can be a major factor definitely came with its challenges, but it also taught me a lot about finding my own place in the modeling world. I’ll take you through how I started, how I got my first opportunities, what casting is actually like, and what it took to become a runway model in Japan. If you’re interested in modeling, fashion, life in Japan, or just curious about what happens behind the scenes of the modeling industry, I hope you enjoy my story. ✨ Subscribe for more videos about modeling, fashion, Japan, and my life in Tokyo. #Modeling #RunwayModel #Japan #kikyoyan 👗 Shop my vintage closet~ My personal pre-loved clothes!
