Her wheat-colored skin is still strong! Maki Okazoe, a former “too black newscaster,” is a police chief for a day and calls for traffic safety.

Maki Okazoe said “Kitakitanishi” for “north-northwest.

On November 24, an event calling for traffic safety was held at “LaLa Terrace Minami-Senju,” a commercial facility in Arakawa Ward, Tokyo. Handing a bag containing educational goods to visitors and posing with a salute was freelance announcer Maki Okazoe (33).

On the day of the event, she was serving as police chief for a day at the Minami-Senju Police Station of the Metropolitan Police Department.

Okazoe started her career as a reader model when she was a first-year university student, when she participated as a model in “Waseda Collection 2011.” From September ’14, she appeared on “Mezamashi TV Aqua” (Fuji Television Network) as an active female university student caster. Since then, she appeared on “Mezamashi TV” and “Mezamashi Saturday” until March 2008, gaining popularity.

She was a swimmer during her school days and was nicknamed “Mirei Kiritani,” or “Mirei Kiritani the Black,” because of her resemblance to Mirei Kiritani (35), who is known for her healthy wheat skin. In addition, she is a “super natural” character, and in 2005 on “Mezamashi TV,” when asked which direction to eat ehomaki, she said “north-northwest” as “kitakitanishi,” which is still talked about today.

In April 2010, she married racing driver Naoya Gamo (36). She is now the mother of a child and posts family shots on her SNS.

Okazoe appeared at the event dressed as a police officer, and her wheat-colored skin still looks good. She wore a ten-gallon hat-type helmet and urged people to wear helmets when riding bicycles. He also posted the scene on social networking sites,

[The hat I am wearing is actually a helmet. I was surprised to see how many different types there are nowadays!　I heard that the rate of wearing helmets when riding bicycles is still low, so I will make sure that my daughter wears a helmet from infancy so that it will be a matter of course for her.

I’ll make sure my daughter is wearing a bicycle from the time she is a toddler so that it will become a normal part of her life. Although she did not make any “supernatural” comments on that day, she was still smiling and calling for traffic safety.
