Mika Tan was born on the Hawaiian island of Oahu to an Okinawan/Taiwanese mother and a Japanese/Samoan father! As a "Navy brat", Mika traveled across the United States and parts of Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa before she went to high school. She attended San Diego State University where she earned a Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and an Associate's degree in Psychology. Mika tried stripping and art class figure modelling to make extra money when she was working as a research assistant after graduating college. The nude modeling lead to an interview, then to an agent, and finally to her debut in adult cinema.
