Kayo Sato reveals her true self

Fashion model, game presenter, and cosplayer, Kayo Sato (a.k.a Kayo Police), revealed her true gender.

After rumors of the model’s gender persisted, the 22-year-old felt that she needed to come clean…on TV.  She recently announced on a TV show that she is indeed actually a man.  Kayo is popular on Nico Nico as an assistant presenter on the Nico video game show.

Kayo said that she moved away from her hometown so that nobody would recognize her, and then started to live as a woman under a different name. After she moved, Kayo was scouted by a modeling agency and started work as a female model. No one at the agency suspected anything.

Kayo says that she is all natural, so she didn’t get plastic surgery to look like she does, and she owes much of her success to her talent in applying make-up. Even though Kayo is really a man, with the current boom of boys crossdressing/cosplaying as their female counterparts, Kayo shouldn’t have a problem staying in her current position. In fact, now that she’s come out, she’ll probably gain more male fans.

Kayo posted on her blog today (9/1 JST):

“To everyone who received my message.

Thank you everyone for the comments.
I have received so much courage from them.

As I said on the show I was born a boy.
I feel really good about being able to tell everyone about my past.

I appreciate you guys giving me this opportunity.

I will continue to work as Kayo Sato and keep moving forward.

I’m really happy that many people have accepted me and my new start.

Thank you all very much.”

Ever since she posted this, she’s received nothing but encouragement and positive feedback from many people.

    It must have been hard for her.
    Having to hide your true self from others must have been extremly difficult.
    I mean, you read the manga’s, but this is real life. It must have been so much harder. -Sings Lee Hyori- Hey girl! Yeah, You go girl!

  • NobuMomu

  • zero

    Wow. She’s so pretty as a girl and I bet as a boy too!
    I’m so glad that people are being very open minded about it and are supporting her!

  • loveprinceshim

    @NobuMomu Hell, I agree with you! I’m so envious. I wish I’m as pretty as him. Goodness. I can’t believe that someone’s prettier than Jejung.

  • Mochiko

    Awesome. Japan always was better than Korea or the U.S. with this sort of thing. And she’s beautiful, so it’s no wonder people have been supporting her.

    Best of luck in everything to Kayo! :D

    That was a really brave thing to do . . .
    You guys know Ai-chan right? I thought I would dislike her at first but she really has a very cheerful and bright personality it’s hard to watch her without smiling.
    I’ve liked her so much ever since! I haven’t heard too much about Kayo Sato but I admire her courage and will keep a closer eye on her

  • stillasp

    What?! How?! All natural? Then how does he have breasts? Estrogen pills? Special support? But then is he getting those body’s proportions? Dieting? Exercise? I don’t know it makes no sense.

  • DakiChann

    How is he hiding his you-know-what in those shorts? ._.
