At the age of five she learned to play guitar and was in a Summer children's band called The Blossoms that toured around Japan. In her early teens, her family moved to the United States for the first time. She originally was aiming to pursue a career in Law. However, things changed when at the age of 18, her friend submitted her to the renowned modeling agency Kim Dawson in Dallas, Texas. Thus began a successful career as a model in both print and commercials. To date, she has appeared in over 75 commercials worldwide. From the advertising side, casting directors started calling her in for theatrical roles. Mei has trained extensively for the last 12 years under Larry Moss and Nancy Banks.

She co-wrote and acted in the Americana thriller American Romance in 2014.

She directed a short film Cafe On A Staircase; wrote a comedy short Inner Beauty, starring Liz Carey and Victoria's Secret model Frankie Rayder for Funnyordie.com; Co-wrote a short film entitled Stephany + Me with Ben Duhl co-starring Tara Summers which won an audience award at the Palm Spring Film Festival.

As a creator, Mei has numerous projects in development. She is also a freelance writer for Giant Robot Magazine.

She resides in Los Angeles with her fiancé and child.

... I love anime films like Miyazaki&#39;s Spirited Away and I do love sci-fi, both anime and live action. I feel like so much is possible when you take away the confines of current invention - if that makes sense - and open it up to what might be coming in the future or in an alternate world. It&#39;s thrilling. The Martian Chronicles was a TV miniseries that did that for me when I was younger in Japan. I was so excited to be in Shockwave Darkside for this reason; my character The Machine has lived on the moon her whole life and it was a fun challenge to get into making this sci-fi world into a reality for me.

But honestly - from a personal place - I was pretty happy to be in the movie in whatever capacity. (On her feelings of playing Psylocke in X3)
