New model, Tsukamoto Airi will debut through magazine "EDGE STYLE", which will be published on July 7th. �Airi was scouted while she was working at an apparel shop, and was later discovered to be the cousin of KAT-TUN member, Tanaka Koki.

She talked about Koki, "We used to climb trees together. �Koki and I are still close to each other, and he invites me to KAT-TUN concerts every year."

Airi also said, "My mother was the one who told Koki to apply for Johnny's Entertainment. �When I met him last year, he said, 'How old are you now? I thought you were still a little kid, but you sure did grow up.'"

Koki encouraged Airi to debut as a model. �Airi's goal as a model is to be like Yoshikawa Hinano or Rinka she says.
