Portrait of a Japanese Person

Aiko!

Aiko is a gorgeous Japanese girl with a sweet,funny personality. 

  

Aiko is a RA in the seminar house I live in. We live in the same apartment unit so I’ve gotten really close with her and gotten to know her well. 

Aiko loves to laugh and have fun but she’s really diligent and hard working as an RA and a student. Aiko has a lot of stress from trying to prepare to study abroad for two years but she’s still happy and upbeat. 

 

Aiko’s style is fashionable but also has a bit of cool hip hop personality to her. She used to dance in the hip hop circle at Kansai Gaidai and can do some break dance moves. The dance pop culture Her personality reflects a bit of dance past in her stance and demeanor. Aiko is cute but also a lil G. She asked one of our roommates about style in the US and one of the styles she said was ghetto, Aiko said she knew it and then spelled out G-H-E-T-T-O really proud. 

Aiko also likes Abercrombie a lot so I gave her the shirt in the pictures as a gift. 

 

I know Aiko deals with a lot of stress because of her job and school but she handles it so well and always has a happy face on. 

When I was taking pictures of Aiko it was fluid but we were also laughing a lot since we get along so well. I’m really glad I ended up living with her in seminar house and we became friends.
