Anna Tsuchiya

Anna Tsuchiya , born March 11, 1984 in Tokyo, Japan is a singer, lyricist, model, and actress. Anna was born to a Japanese mother and a Russian American father. She has an older sister called Angela, who is a model as well.

in 2004, she announced her engagement to fellow model/actor Joshua Niimura, the younger brother of the model Friedia Niimura (Rin Kozue). Joshua worked in the same modelling office as her. On 2004.11.19 Anna's first child, Sky , was born. Sky even features in a photobook with his mother, Happy Days - Anna, Mama ni Naru!. But in early July 2006, it was announced that Tsuchiya and Joshua were getting divorced.. Subsequent to their divorce, Joshua Niimura died of heart failure on May 20th 2008. Anna has remained undaunted by being a divorced single 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.


Tsuchiya was scouted by Seventeen magazine at age 14 to start a modelling career. Her demand as a model grew, and by 2002 she was doing television ads for UNIQLO, Edwin, and KOSE products. Even though she got involved in other projects afterwards, she today still remains an in-demand model for magazines like Kera, Soup, Zipper, and other youth punk fashion magazines.
