ATTN:
1) I am not on this website often. For serious inquiries please access me at saschaokamoto.carbonmade.com or at saschaokamoto [at] yahoo [dot] com.
2) I prefer to keep my friendlist limited to people that I know or whom I am interested. Consequently I do not approve random friend requests or those who do not have the style of work I am interested in. Thank you for your understanding.


I am based in the Bay area/Northern California. I will, however, travel internationally for the right opportunity.

I am primarily available for paid bookings and tearsheet opportunities... however I AM always interested in testing with top-caliber/photographers; ) Please do not hesitate to contact me if you believe that you have a project that would suit me. Otherwise, my rates are extremely reasonable and negotiable, and I offer test rates for select students also.

Very experienced multi-racial (3/4 Japanese, 1/4 German) model specializing in print/commercial/beauty/parts. I am a second generation model... both my parents were models and I started when I was still in kindergarten. I've been doing this all my life.

I have an ethnically ambiguous, multi-faceted look... great skin, and excellent bone structure. I can do anything from fashion to commercial and I am very, very long limbed.

Dress size 0-2
Denim size 24
Inseam 32"
Age range: 17~25

[b]Available for:
Beauty, Fashion, Editorial, Commercial, Lifestyle, Catalog, Jewelry, Hair, Bridal & Parts. I am also experienced in runway.

Aside from modeling, I am a Production Coordinator, and do a lot of translating as well. I also aspire to become a designer in the future and have my own line. I've used some of my creations in my past shoots, and hopefully there will be more to offer as I become more involved in making the pieces.

Here's how I learned to model:
-Both my parents were established models in Japan in the 70s~80s. My mom was particularly busy with editorial, fashion, commercial/advertisement and runway work, and I tagged along to many of her shoots. She is also the one that taught me the ethics, skills, and trade of a professional model.
-I was the only child model managed by a major agency in Tokyo called "Okazaki" (from kindergarten to the end of elementary school).
-Major childhood projects includes: ad-campaign for a major Japanese bank, ad campaign for Tokyo Disneyland, TV commercial for a kimono company "O-giya", key role (acting) in a short film "Shiranui"

I can provide an extensive list of photographers, mua/hair & stylists I've worked with upon request.

*** MY top 12 are people I've worked with, most of them more than twice!***
