Hello! I’m toshi. Sassy, vain, insane, and a whole lotta brain~ My life offline and on social media are not mirror images. I’m also ¼ Japanese, ¼ Korean, ¼ Chinese, and ¼ Vietnamese. I werk 24 hours a day, researcher by day and drag queen by night.
Born and raised in Richmond, Virginia but living in Berkeley, California now finishing up school and looking for work! But I’ve lived all over including Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Thailand, England, Canada, and in North Carolina for school.
I’m currently finishing up my last semester at UC Berkeley where I was a PhD student in Performance Studies. I work part-time at a restaurant and am working on improving my drag and acting skills for work in theater/film.
What are you passionate about?
Sex. Seriously. I research sexual behavior and practice within queer Asian & Asian American communities. I interview porn stars, go-go dancers, and drag queens. I analyze data from Tinder, Jack’d, Grindr, and Chaturbate. I am constantly watching and reading about sex, for business and for pleasure. Ask me for more details ;D
What is your dream job (real or fantasy)?
Honestly, I love performing and would love to be a drag queen that can actually support herself and these damn high rent prices in the Bay. I also wanted to be a porn actor at one point. Go-go dancing is also on the bucket list.
If you could change the world with one idea, what would it be?
Sex is amazing and natural and should be talked about so that people of all genders, races, body types, sexual orientations, etc. can understand it and be better educated about it!!
