Mishamai Bio
Mishamai is an American model, fitness influencer, and cosplayer. She was born on January 19, 1999, in Austin, Texas, and has also been credited as Misha Mai. Playboy featured her as a Creator in July 2023 at 24, placing her work within the brand's creator-led digital program.
Mishamai has enhanced breasts, brown eyes and black hair. Her measurements are 35-25-39.
Mishamai built her public career at the intersection of cosplay, fitness, gaming and online content creation. Since beginning that work in 2018, the Filipino-American creator has developed an audience numbering in the hundreds of thousands and appeared as a guest at comic and anime conventions across the United States. Her work has also reached publications including Reader’s Digest and Playboy, while commercial collaborations have included Gundam Planet and Kinda Fit Kinda Fat.
Cosplay remains one of the clearest threads running through that career. Mishamai creates characters inspired by anime and video games, while fitness content provides a second major focus. The two worlds overlap naturally in her online work, where physical training, costume design and fandom all become part of the same creative identity. YouTube and Twitch broaden that mix further through workout streams, gameplay, variety videos and even gunpla building.
Her Playboy collaboration was photographed by Madeline Northway on location in Austin, the city Mishamai calls home. She spoke warmly about the experience, particularly the sense that the production valued both art and women’s self-expression. For someone accustomed to creating highly stylized visual content through cosplay, Playboy offered another setting in which image-making could be treated as a creative project rather than simply a pose.
Mishamai described herself as playful and quirky but somewhat shy, with a habit of listening closely when other people talk about the things they care about. She also emphasized goal-setting as an important part of how she approaches work. Rather than treating self-improvement as a vague aspiration, she breaks objectives down into practical questions: what needs to happen, how long it will take, and what can be done immediately.
Her July 2023 Playboy Creator feature fits comfortably within that broader pattern. Cosplay, fitness, conventions, gaming, streaming and branded collaborations had already given Mishamai a distinctly modern media career before Playboy entered the picture. The shoot became one of the professional moments she said she was proudest of, but it also made sense within a body of work built around visual creativity, disciplined planning and the freedom to move between several different communities at once.
