Kiko Mizuhara

 photographed by KAZUMI ASAMURA HAYASHI

 

When she was still a teen in Tokyo, Kiko Mizuhara was hailed as the new Japanese modeling sensation. In 2010 she made her film debut in Anh Hung Tran’s adaptation of Haruki Murakami’s 1987 novel, Norwegian Wood, which was set in the Tokyo of the 1960s. Working alongside actress Rinko Kikuchi, Kiko played the character Midori, one of Japan’s cult literary heroines. As a model, she recently represented Barney’s New York 2010 Holiday campaign, and was photographed by the Japanese legend, Nobuyoshi Araki. But Kiko isn’t really Japanese at all — she was born in Dallas, Texas, to a Korean mother and an American father.
