Playmate March 2019: Miki Hamano

March Playmate, Miki Hamano grew up in rural Japan — but as you’ll see, this free spirit is as American as they come. On set in gorgeous Malibu, California, Miki enjoys a hot day outside as the photographer, Ana Dias captures her bold and striking beauty. “When you’re young, you can do anything,” begins Miki. “I came to the United States as an exchange student when I was 19 years old. It was an adventure so I loved it!” Though now Miki exudes a fearless confidence, it wasn’t always that way. “All the girls in L.A. are so gorgeous, I thought I had to be like them,” she explains. “Now I know there’s freedom in being in your natural state. Being comfortable in my own skin doesn’t mean I want to be objectified; it means I’m loving myself and embracing who I am. I’m thankful I live in a time and place when people can express themselves so freely!” See more of Miki, right here on Playboy Plus!
