About Hiromi Oshima
Japanese model Hiromi Oshima began her career in the mid-2000s, becoming one of the few Asian women to appear as a Playboy Playmate. Born in Tokyo, she moved to Miami Beach from Playa del Carmen, Mexico, where she was living and working. A mutual acquaintance introduced her to Playboy photographer Jarmo Pohjaniemi. In her Playmate interview, she said, 'I could never have been a model in Japan. I would be considered too busty.'
Her first magazine appearance was in the December 2003 issue of Playboy, as part of the 50th Anniversary Playmate Hunt pictorial. In June 2004, she was named Playmate of the Month, making her the second Japanese-born Playboy Playmate, after Lieko English, who appeared in June 1971. She also graced the cover of the 2003 Playboy Special Edition Exotic Beauties and starred in several Playboy videos. In 2005, she was the January calendar girl for the inaugural Playmates at Play swimsuit calendar, shot at the Playboy Mansion. She and Karen McDougal were the only Playmates to appear in painted-on bikinis. She also worked as a Photo Production Coordinator for various Playboy Special Editions.
Before her Playboy fame, Oshima appeared in Nelly's music video for 'Shake Ya Tailfeather.' She later appeared in several episodes of The Girls Next Door on the E! network. Her acting credits include the 2008 film The House Bunny, the 2009 film Race to Witch Mountain, the TV comedy Community, and the music video for Beyoncé and Lady Gaga's 'Telephone.' In 2013, she appeared in Dealin' With Idiots, and in 2015, The Wedding Ringer. She was featured in a 2011 Virgin America advertising campaign and in MGMT's 2017 music video for 'Little Dark Age.'
Oshima's measurements are 34-22-34, with a 34D bra cup and a slim body type. She has black hair and brown eyes. She stands 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 105 pounds. She is currently in a relationship with New Zealand singer-songwriter Connan Mockasin, and the couple have one daughter. As of December 2024, she has amassed 100 thousand Instagram followers.
