My Take
Born in 2006 and already winning Miss Magazine 2024 — I had to do the math twice because it genuinely surprised me. An Yamamoto is one of those faces that showed up seemingly out of nowhere, a Kanagawa girl who slipped quietly into the gravure world and walked out with a major title before most people her age have figured out what they want to do with their lives. At 156 cm she's not towering over anyone, but winning at eighteen does a pretty good job of that on its own. She is also a member of 7+ME Link, the girls' unit project run by the magazine Popteen, and in 2025 she hosted a TV Tokyo music program, which honestly only adds to the intrigue. I have no idea where this goes from here, but I'm genuinely curious to find out.
