When she is not teaching herself English or corralling her lively toddler Sutan, the Japanese influencer Moe—known as Kimono Mom—is teaching us to cook. A former geisha and no stranger to entertaining, she currently boasts a large loyal following across her social media. While most of Moe’s videos introduce us to simple Japanese dishes, she also shares her daily life through light-hearted vlogs featuring her daughter and husband. Moe’s honesty about the challenges of motherhood endears her to her fans. Dressed elegantly and smiling brightly, Kimono Mom offers viewers a warm mother figure to look to for encouragement and advice. —Nicole Matthias
