Founder and owner, Ran Morimoto has over 10 years of experience as a fashion model, her notable works include 1989 Unitika Swimwear Campaign Model, 1990 Sumitomo Corporation International Calendar, and over 6 years in Japan’s premier fashion magazine CanCam. She has also appeared regularly in various television shows such as “Waratte Iitomo” and “TBS Golf” as well as other media such as catalogs, commercials and fashion shows. Ran was discovered by a scout at the age of 18 and spent her first 6 years at Now Fashion Agency then at Oscar Promotion. She moved to New York in 1996 where she modeled for a year, then moved to Hawaii in 2005 where she currently resides.
She returned to modeling in 2013. Since returning to the industry, she has come in contact with many fashion agencies and television/magazine editors as well as casting agencies in Japan that have voiced high demand for all things Hawaii. With Japan’s affinity for Hawaii, there is constant demand for local models and extras of all ages. Lan Enterprises LLC was established in June of 2014 to cater to this niche market. In September, Lino Model Agency was established, named after the word bright and shiny in Hawaiian.
Registered models and extras 100 (As of January 2024).
