Anna TsuchiyaAnna Tsuchiya (Tsuchiya Anna?) is a Japanese singer, lyricist, actress, and semi-retired model. Anna was born to a Japanese mother and a Russian-American father.[ She has a younger brother, Kenneth and an older sister, Angela, who is a model as well. In 2004, Tsuchiya announced her engagement to model and actor Joshua Niimura, the younger brother of the model Friedia Niimura (Rin Kozue). Joshua worked in the same modelling office as her. On November 19, 2004, Anna's first child, Sky was born. Sky is featured in a photobook with his mother, titled, Happy Days - Anna, Mama ni Naru!. In July 2006, it was announced that Tsuchiya and Niimura were getting a divorce. In May 2008, Niimura died of heart failure, aged just 25 at the time of death. Tsuchiya has remained undaunted by being a widowed mother, to the adoration of her legions of mostly high school girl fans, who've taken a liking to her non-conformist approach to life.
Suchiya's career began at the age of fourteen when she was hired to model for Seventeen. Her demand grew, and by 2002 she was doing television ads for UNIQLO, Edwin, and KOSE products. She tried hard to lose weight during her stint as a model. At 1.67m (5 ft 6 in) and 44kg (97 lbs), she was considered to be overweight and short for a model in Japan. She experienced mental and physical agony at the time, and can hardly remember anything she ate back then. After an incident when Tsuchiya was fifteen years old in which she awoke starving one morning to find that her legs didn't work due to severe malnutrition, she was forced to drag herself — using only hands — to the refrigerator.
According to her, some models would tell her, laughing, "How can you keep modeling with no shame?", "What's up my little girl, how much did you eat yesterday?", or simply, "Oh my god! You're one ugly fat bastard!" and then laughed at her. Someone said to her in a backstage dressing room, "Get out of here, fat is contagious, asap, asap, you smelly twat!"(according to Anna, that one was the same age as Anna, 14, and "freaking pretty"), when she modeled for Seventeen.
Tsuchiya was quoted as saying, "We were all teens at that time. I guess you guys expect some epic stories like — Anna did it, and those who laughed at Anna now have miserable lives flipping burgers at McDonald's or distributing handbills at Jusco or appearing in porn videos — but sorry, y'all know God is such a daft prick, now some of those who laughed at me have got bigger successes than me and are super rich... ahh, super stars. I sometimes feel frustrated with it, but okay... I mean, they made me better". Anna spent her middle-teenage years modeling for Seventeen, and in the course of time, she made friends with some of the same-aged female models, or older models including Yoshika Yuhnagi (1983 - 2001), and soon she began to put up at their apartments or condominiums, where they lived by themselves. Around this time, she began smoking and drinking.
