Modeling Career
Tsuchiya's modeling career began at the age of fourteen after her older sister Angela, a former fashion model, suggested it. She entered her sister's former agency, and was picked up by an agent who specialized in magazine-modeling, and her first jobs consisted of modeling for an open collection in Kobe and for Japanese Seventeen in 1998. Demand for her grew, and by 2002, she was doing television ads for Uniqlo and Edwin.
Tsuchiya spent her mid-teens modeling, and made friends, notably Yoshika, and soon she began to stay at their apartments. It has been reported that she also began smoking and drinking around this time.
