Ahh, Aiko Tanaka… an extremely sexy Japanese/Korean model from Japan.

Although Aiko was very popular, her mother forced her to quit modeling. She felt that Aiko had not fully developed as a person yet and that she should have a chance to explore her other options.

Aiko was enrolled in a wide range of classes, learning piano, cello, drum, Japanese flower arrangement, ballet, jazz dance, and painting, but she was more partial towards literature and poetry.

It was after graduating high school when she decided that she wanted to be an actress, which prompted her to move to Boston all by herself.

Aiko studied theater in college but realized that she did not understand the language well. As she was still very much into performing, she started to dance at clubs in Boston.


It wasn’t long before a talent agent from LA scouted her and Aiko moved to LA to become a dancer on live TV. She secured her first TV gig on the “The Grind” with MTV.

Soon after, she was featured as a main dancer for “Soul Train,” a popular dance show in which many talents (namely Carmen Electra, Jody Watley, and Rosie Perez) were discovered. Aiko received many modeling offers through the show.


She appeared in over 20 different calendars and was eventually invited to attend a car show to sign autographs.

At the first car show she attended, Aiko was selected to appear on an “Import Tuner” cover. She also appeared on the covers of many other auto magazines such as “D-Sport” and “Super Street.”

She was actually the first Japanese/Korean to ever appear as the cover model on these major magazines. As her popularity grew, Namco signed her to be the voice of a character in the video game “Street Racing Syndicate.”

Aiko has also appeared in many music videos for Destiny’s Child, Afroman, Far*East Movement, Jin, and more. Her film and television credits include: “The Howard Stern Show,” “Late Night with Jay Leno,” “Malcolm and Eddie,” “My Wife and Kids,” “Numb3rs,” and ?The Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift. You can see her in the upcoming indie film, Finishing the Game out in theaters this October.


When she’s not on a film/TV set or at a photo shoot, Aiko enjoys cooking, taking care of her mother, and reading books.
