1. What kind of BARBIE do you think you’d be?
I would be a Barbie who shares the beauty and charm of Japan with the world. I want to connect people through culture, traditions, and meaningful experiences.
2. What’s the weirdest item you keep by your bed?
My unique item is a Kesa, a simplified version of a Buddhist robe that looks like a cloak. I received it from my paternal grandmother before she passed away. My father is the chief priest of our temple. This item makes me feel connected to Buddha. I keep it by my bed because it is very special to me. I do not use it every day, but I treasure it on important occasions.
3. What cartoon character do you relate to the most and why?
I relate to Rapunzel the most because she is curious, positive, and brave enough to follow her dreams. I also want to inspire people and give teenagers courage and hope.
4. Would you time travel to the past or future?
I would choose to travel to the past because the future can still be shaped by my actions, but the past remains hidden. I would love to discover what was happening when I was born.
5. How would your parents describe your personality?
My parents would describe me as energetic, caring, and easy to talk to. They would say I always give my best to achieve my goals and dreams. They would probably add that I have a great appetite and always smile. I believe they have always watched over me and recognized how I care for others while staying true to myself.
