When she was 13, Emi began fashion modeling. She started working professionally the next year. She went to Kyoto Ryoyo High School but did not finish her studies there.
Emi Suzuki's Modeling Career
Emi Suzuki started modeling after a classmate suggested it. She made her debut with Seventeen magazine in 1999. In the same year, she appeared in her first TV commercial. It was for Dancemania Speed 2. Her popularity quickly grew after this. She also appeared in fashion shows for many clothing brands.
Becoming a Top Model (2002–2007)
By 2002, Emi Suzuki started working with famous designer brands. She had to meet strict fitness standards for these jobs. She also appeared in the music video for Ketsumeishi's popular song Sakura in 2005.
Emi had thought about stopping modeling and moving back to Kyoto. But her agency and the publisher Shueisha started a new magazine called Pinky. So, she ended her contract with Seventeen in 2006. Emi became a regular model for Pinky. She was often on the cover of the magazine by herself. She was even featured on the very first issue of Pinky.
