Kohei’s journey to pursue her dream of being a professional model seems to be showing good signs.

Kohei is tall and thin and often wears casual clothes.
Talking about the development of fashion in Japan, the male model shared: “Fashion plays a big role in Japanese culture.
In fact, besides his pure Asian face, ideal height, and good English, Kohei’s fashion sense is also a factor that helps him stand out in casting sessions of major fashion houses.
