As a teenager, Akira worked as a cashier in a children’s bookstore called Books of Wonder. Akira was able to obtain a scholarship to study at the United Nations International School in Manhattan because her grandfather had been a Japanese diplomat for 45 years. However, due to her poor grades, she was not invited back in her sophomore year, so Asa attended Washington Irvine High School in Gramercy Park, New York City.
