Kaori has been with MAX for 7 months and has already gotten 15 auditions and 4 bookings! We are happy to feature her on the blog today to share her experience.
Kaori was born in Tokyo, Japan and moved to Toronto with her parents when she was 9 years old. She spoke no word of English and had to attend ESL classes for the first two years of elementary school in Canada. She was a competitive pianist since childhood, so she continued her study in music into post-secondary education.
After completing school, she did not feel quite ready to settle into a career. So she went backpacking to various destinations inAfrica and Europe. Her most memorable trips include trekking Mt Kilimanjaro, numerous safari in Tanzania and Kenya, and even the then war-torn Serbia. She even lived in Austria for a year as she enjoyed being away from home.
After the fun 20s, she spent her 30s and 40 s in the event planning/hospitality industry, managing and executing weddings, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs and corporate events. She then decided to pursue her long-held dream of helping other women in midlife get stronger and healthier. She obtained her personal training certification and she now trains women one-on-one via Zoom.
Check out her personal training business, Daily Flex – A personal Fitness Company here.
MAX: How did you get into modeling/acting?
Kaori: I was always interested in modelling, but back in the 80s (when I was a teen) I was either not slim enough, tall enough, or the industry was not quite as inclusive yet for non-caucasians. I considered taking acting lessons but back then I was self-conscious of my English-as-second-language accents in my speech. Fast-forward into the year 2021, in the middle of one of the covid pandemic lockdowns, I sent my photos to Max Agency – just to see “what might happen.” After all, I felt that the society had become much more inclusive of the older population (Im 51) and non-caucasion ethnicities, I thought that I might have a chance at securing a job or two!
MAX: How has your experience been with MAX? Any memorable moments from set?
Kaori: A recent shoot for an upcoming theatrical-release film was a great experience! They took my head cast to design facial prosthetics for my role! More inspiring was about working with a team of hard-working and talented crew – I miss working with them now that the shoot has wrapped, and am keeping my fingers crossed that I will get to work with them again in the near future.
MAX: What is your dream role?
Kaori: Id love to be cast as a futuristic humanoid robot in Westworld in a battle scene. Or a Pepto-Bismol commercial and sing or dance along to its catchy jingle! I would also love a chance at fitness modelling or be featured as an editorial/catalogue model for any one of my favourite fitness attire brands.

As we crave for warmer weather, it is tempting to start eyeing upcoming spring trends. But the sad reality is that we will be dealing with the cold for a little while longer. Make it fun by trying out simple ways of making your outfits more stylish while layering for warmth!
Start with a good base layer
Base layers are winter essentials. Start with with a thermal base layer or a high tutleneck bodysuit that can be worn hidden or exposed. A thin layer will keep you warm without affecting the finished look. It will not bulk you up nor make you overheat when indoors.
Use a modern fleece jacket to stay warm
Fleece is a winter staple that have come bacl in style and we are happy it did! It is warm and cozy, and brands have really stepped it up to make it stylish recently. Wear it alone on warmer days or easily layer it under a jacket on colder days. Style hack: wear a high neck fleece completley zipped up while keeping your overcoat open at the top to reveal the cozy fleece.
Go for a statement turtleneck
A trend with streetstyle stars have been layering bright or patterned turtlenecks. Sneak one under a button-up shirt or crew neck sweater to have a subtle pop.
Accesorize
Wear knit dickeys, hats, arm warmers and other small accesories to add layers and colors without adding bulk. You can repeat outfits with different accesories to give it new life. It also makes a big impact to keep extremities warm!
