"I like to be up early-early, like 5 a.m. I like that feeling of everything being quiet. I'll go into the other room and do Duolingo on my phone. I am a little addicted to social media, so the Duolingo is not just to learn Japanese, but also to keep me from scrolling. Like, if I'm going to do something on my phone, this is better for me. I think my streak is 146."
"Over the last couple of years, Agena starred in Lloyd Suh's moving play "The Chinese Lady" in Atlanta, acted in Netflix's "The Residence," showcased her artwork in her first feature exhibit, "Hep Tones" (some of her ink and pencil drawings are still for sale), and performed regularly on that L.A. improv circuit. And her work endures with "Gilmore Girls," which turns 25 this year."
Keiko Agena cultivates cozy moments through simple rituals like making steel-cut oatmeal in a rice cooker and protecting couch time with her husband, Shin Kawasaki. She balances a kaleidoscope of projects, including theater, television, improv, audiobook narration, and an art exhibit titled Hep Tones. Gilmore Girls remains part of her ongoing work as it reaches its 25th anniversary. Her ideal Sunday begins before sunrise with quiet solitude at 5 a.m., when she practices Duolingo on her phone to learn Japanese and to resist social media scrolling.
