Fake Akihiro Profiles




Just checking out the web for Akihiro, when I stumbled on several fake profiles of Akihiro on friendster, facebook, tagged and myspace. Some were so dumb that you know that a teenager made it with music and skins that obviously were chosen by someone who is in his/her teens. Also, the details on the profile are soooo fake like the school (ust?), favorite tv shows and movies (marimar, desperadas and pasukob?) and the profiles are written in Filipino at that. For those wishing to fake Akihiro's profile his current location is Philippines not Thailand.
Also, some say he is half Irish - half Japanese, some say he is half Thai - half Japanese. I think the misconception that he is half Thai is because he has modeled for a long time in Thailand and has a great amount of exposure there. I believe he is half Brazilian because his middle name is Macieira which sounds so Portuguese and definitely not Irish. I think someone posted on youtube that he is Irish, that is why a lot of people believe he is. No arguing, he is definitely half Japanese.

Another common mistake is his modeling agency. A lot of fake profiles list Amat Nimitpark Modeling Agency, when in fact Amat Nimitpark is a Thai photographer and fashion editor not an agency. Amat Nimitpark started his career as a photographer at Looks magazine in 1984. Three years later he moved to Image magazine, where he’s stayed ever since, largely because of its "family" atmosphere. Since 1998 Amat working as the Image magazine’s Fashion Editor and Senior Photographer. See Amat Nimitpark's website: http://www.amatnimitpark.com/

Akihiro is represented in Singapore by Upfront Models: http://www.upfrontmodels.com/models_m.htm in the Philippines by Mercator Models: http://www.mercatormodels.com/International/Akihiro/index.html and in Thailand by Mode Models: http://www.modemgt.com/model/model-supreme.htm

Well, that's how life is when you are popular. As a cliche goes, "Imitation/ Mimickry is the best form of flattery."

Will the real Akihiro Sato, please stand up and set the records straight! (",)

And to the numerous fake Akihiros, pretending someone you are not is pathetic! Get your own life people! hehehe!!! I don't have to post your fake profiles and url's here, you guys know who you are.

Note: Watch out for Akihiro in MetroHim, Meg and Penshoppe
