Naomi Osaka is a professional tennis player who represents Japan. She's the first Asian tennis player to hold top ranking in singles and has been internationally recognised.

Naomi has a Japanese mother and a Haitian father, she was born in Japan but moved to New York when she was 3. She had a dual nationality but announced that she would give up her US citizenship and represent Japan in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics as the Japan does not accept dual nationality over the age of 22.

During one of her interviews on TV, she seemed proud commenting that "It was a special desire to be a representative of Japan. Playing with the pride of the country in 2020 Tokyo Olympics will feel more emotional." Her mother, Tamaki Osaka, also added that "Although she was brought up in the US, Naomi and her sister always felt that she was Japanese. It is not decided financially or by any national federation."

Why Naomi attract people's attention is that she is curvy and bigger than most Japanese women and disrupting the stereotype of Japanese women. Naomi mentioned that even though she loves fashion, she struggled with her plus-size dress size in Japan as she weighs 220 pounds and has double the average weight of Japanese women of her age. When she was young, she would often improvise by going to men's store and wearing T-shirt's as dresses.

After all her experiences, she started her own brand called "pyunyu" (Japanese meaning for chubby) for all the plus-size women like her. For her brand, she wanted to emphasise that curvy girl can be sexy, attractive, happy and successful. While the majority of the people are trying to be skinny, she is proud of being called a "plus-sized" model. She once wrote on Instagram saying "My ideal body is that of a sumo wrestler - big but muscular". She's still influencing Japanese people by having a positive attitude and spreading the value of self-love, embracing her body and proving that any body type can be perfect.
