Acting

Born: June 9, 1981

Birthplace: Okinawa - Japan

Akira Lane was born to a Hawaiian father and Japanese mother, and is a model/actress. She grew up in Japan, attending American schools on the islands of Okinawa, before moving to the United States at the age of eighteen. First settling in Norfolk, Virginia, where she attended Old Dominion University, Miss Lane moved west to San Diego after spending spring break there and falling in love with the West Coast climate. She attended San Diego State University for two years, earning a B.A. in International Business. She went to work "selling financial plans to cheesy automobile dealerships and repossessing cars." She briefly went to work in the hi-tech computer industry but it was around this time that Lane (a stage name she adopted in 2002) began modeling. Things snowballed from there, and operates her own website and has also appeared in numerous magazines and several films.
