Romi’s Childhood
On November 5th, 1979, a future star was born!
Hiromi ‘Romi’ Dames was born and grew up on an army
base in Japan. “I was born on an American army base
in Tokyo, Japan.” says Romi. “I lived there until I
was almost thirteen, when my family moved to
Seattle. I loved living in Tokyo - it had all the
hustle and bustle of living in a big city, but it
was completely safe. My parents let me run around
the city with my friends before I was even ten years
old.”
At age twelve, Romi’s family made the decision to
move from the army base where she had spent her
entire childhood to Seattle, Washington. “When my
dad retired from his job as a high school teacher,
we had to leave the army base. The move to Seattle
was completely random - we didn’t know anybody
there. My dad is from New Jersey, and my mom is from
Japan. They picked Seattle because they thought it
was a good halfway point, and they heard that the
University of Washington had a great library. I
should mention that I am so grateful to my parents
for always being my biggest supporters. They always
helped me follow my dreams.”
