"I've always tried to come from a place... of my culture, like being half-Japanese and being half-Haitian and growing up in America, Hana Kuma, on that sense, kind of sees things from my lens."
"I would say, for me, I'm always really curious about new paths. And I don't know. I've always gotten really good opportunities through being a tennis player. And I've always felt like it would be great to expand on that. And I know, like, my career as an athlete isn't as long as I would want it to be. So it's good just to explore different avenues, and also everything that we've created is things that I'm very, very into and excited about, so it's all coming from an organic place."- Osaka told Yahoo
"I've been playing tennis since I was a really young kid, so it's kind of like breathing air to me. There's nothing new about it. Well, I mean, there are some new things about it. But every time I step on the court it's like a very relaxing feeling.
"But I would say, like with business and everything like that, I feel like a child. Like I'm learning new things every day, and it's kind of very challenging. And I feel very lucky because I'm surrounded by people that know quite a lot. And they're able to guide me and give me really good information."
