She notes that the industry has changed technically. "Years ago, the sets were larger, the films were longer, and there was more narrative buildup. Today, with the internet and shorter clips, the pacing is faster. But I prefer the slow burn. I enjoy the acting part of the job as much as the physical part."

"When I was young, the industry was obsessed with youth—specifically the 'Lolita' image," Tomoda explains. "But as I aged, I realized that the audience was aging with me. There was a hunger for women who possessed confidence, experience, and a different kind of beauty. I didn't want to hide my age; I wanted to use it."
