Tomiko does so many things that it's almost impossible to list them all here! Versatility is the key work to describe this amazing lady!

1) We learned that you are half-Japanese and half-German. How have you been influenced by these two different cultures in your current line of work?
The work ethic is key I think from both cultures and I have a strong one. Also, I have an appreciation for different people and I think that makes it easy for me to get along with everyone.
2) Is it very hard to try to keep a positive attitude when you work in a business so competitive as yours?
Not at all. I came from a really poor background where I had to work really hard, so anything that I get is so appreciated. I have a competitive nature anyway and take rejection well. I think that is why I have been able to do well in the business and have staying power.
3) What are your interest regarding all things fetish? Are you into the wardrobe only or do you attend fetish events, parties, etc.?
I used to have fetish wear, but since I have grown older, I like to be comfortable. I am kind of a tennis shoes, flip flop kind of girl. I really enjoy attending the events and parties and connecting with people in the business I haven't seen in a while as well as interacting with fans.
4) You do some wresting video stuff with what seems to be very colorful characters… have you ever been involved with pro wrestling in some way or would you ever consider an offer?
I did a pro wrestling style training for 6 months. It was a lot of fun, but the potential injuries that could happened made me stop. I just stick to working with companies who have the person at interest and where you work with professional people. I really enjoy wrestling... especially men. I think that is a fetish for me. :)
5) Having a pleasing and still very feminine muscular frame, what kind of training do you do in a typical routine? Is it natural for you to do workouts?
Yes, I have a trainer that I workout with two times a week. I do the rotating stairs, bike, and used to run for my cardio. My body can't take the running anymore. Too many old injuries. I love weight training. When I am home, I try to get in at least five days a week of working out. It is tough on the road.
6) Consequently, you became an instructor at Fitness Bootcamp; what’s the philosophy behind that? (BTW just looking at the website left me physically exhausted…)
It is a marine style workout and it teaches you to discipline yourself and push yourself beyond means you thought you were incapable of. I really enjoyed it for the challenge. I did the workouts myself when I lived in Los Angeles. I think the working out is the only way I can keep my energy level up with my hectic schedule. :) Everyone says they get exhausted when they look at my site. lol
7) You confess to have started modeling at around the age of 30. What kept you busy before opting for that career choice?
I was a teacher for two years and before that I was in college and working as a dancer to put myself through. I attended college right out of high school with a full ride scholarship and dropped out after three years to travel around for five years and goof off. Once I got that out of my system, I returned to school and finished. :)
8) You don’t seem to mind doing gory horror projects or even some bondage modeling. Do you still draw the line somewhere in term of visual presentation towards edgier themes?
Yes, I do. No pink, spreads, sex. I guess I would like to keep myself somewhat wholesome even with the particular fetish things I have chosen to do, but they are fun. I will never do something that makes me uncomfortable or isn't fun for me. Life is short.
9) You’re a resident of Las Vegas; how has the city been affected by the current economic recession?
They have been slammed. Lots of people walking away from their homes. I have been very lucky that I have been able to keep on working and haven't felt the crunch from the economy. I guess living where I do, people travel here all the time and that has helped me tremendously, not to mention I travel a lot.
10) And to finish on a light note: please describe your relationship with… chocolate chip mint?!?!
Always loved chocolate chip mint...especially ice cream. I can't get enough of it. Therefore, I can't bring it into the house. lol I have to make it a treat to go out for.
11) Bonus question: any chance of coming to Montreal?
LOL I would LOVE to come there. If someone could sponsor my trip out there with the flight, I can probably cover my accommodations. I would most-likely put out a travel notice and see if I could pick up some work there, but allow some time to hang with the sponsors of course. :) Do you know anyone? lol
