Who:
Amuru Uchiyama, 185 cm / 6’1″, Japanese, born January 5th.
Why:
First generation Japanese/Egyptian Amuru is certainly one of a kind. Scouted at the big crossing at Shibuya three years ago, Amuru has been modelling part time in Tokyo whilst working on completing his Business Administration degree. This kid really does not look like anyone else — his ethnic diversity resulting in a heady mix of dark elegance with an underlying frisson of romantic intensity. Amuru is off to Paris and London at the end of October where his moody, intriguing handsomeness is sure to make an impression. And with agency placements being firmed up now, Amuru is on his way to becoming even more of a citizen of the world.
