In 2006 Yunmao Ayakawa, to a packed room of attendees at Anime Mid-Atlantic, held a panel on Cosplay, Otaku, and introduced the room to a little known eatery concept called a Maid Cafe. Unknown to anyone at the time, but two years later renditions of one of Japan's most unique cultural exports is turning up at U.S. conventions nation wide. As a foremost authority on the Maid Cafe, the culture, and as an Official Spokesperson for the Nihon Maid Association, this has made Yunmoa proud and inspired her to keep spreading the Japanese Maid Phenomenon to as much places as possible!
Yunmao is listed as a must see person on the topics of Otaku and Maid culture. Media from around the world have sought her out for stories and to host segments of TV shows surrounding Maid Cultures, costumes and Cafes. In 2007 Yunmao became a board member and Official Spokesperson of the Nihon Maid Association. Part of her duties includes holding lectures and training workshops to eager recruits who want to make it as one of Japan's adored Maids. Attendees to these Nihon Maid Association courses are prepped to work in many areas of Japan's service industries that require trained Hostesses including all types of respected restaurants and Five star Hotels. Courses include lectures on history, facts and terms, training exorcises and of course quizzes. Yunmao writes all about this in her "Cosplay Cafe" segment in the August edition of Otaku USA Magazine magazine.
The Nihon Maid Association is the only official association in Japan that offers high quality education and workshops on the Japanese Maid tradition, thereby promoting the Maid Culture as a profession and further advancing the "Maid" as a professional entity in various industries.
