Number Eight, modeling agency in Tokyo

Number Eight is a broad-roster agency based in Jingumae (Harajuku, Shibuya, Tokyo). It represents men and women (Asian, mixed/international and development divisions), an international division, kids, plus artists (actors, dancers) and a creative section (photographers, hair and make-up, casting, illustrators).

How do I apply to this agency?

You can apply directly through Number Eight's form. Prepare natural, recent photos with no retouching. A serious agency will never ask you to pay to be represented.

Is this agency reliable?

Number Eight is listed in the ModelGlance directory because I checked its contact details manually. No agency pays to appear here, and there are no sponsored placements. A directory listing does not replace your own checks: make sure the agency holds a modeling agency license, which is mandatory in France.

Do I have to pay to be represented?

No. A legitimate modeling agency is paid by its clients, never by the models it represents: it earns a commission on your contracts. If Number Eight, or any agency, asks you for registration fees, a mandatory photo book or file fees, treat it as a red flag. Modeling is a profession, not a dream to be sold.

Which profiles does this agency represent?

Number Eight represents women, men, children and talents. For the exact criteria and the kind of portfolio expected, refer to the agency's official website.
