While Tamlyn was born in Okinawa, her family later moved to California. Her father was a Japanese-American who was interned at Manzanar, California during World War II.

Tamlyn attended Granada Hills High School, and prior to becoming an actress, she was active in various pageants.

She would win the Nisei Week Pageant in Los Angeles and Miss Nikkei International held in 1985.

While travelling as Queen of Nisei Week to Hawaii, she was selected to be a part of a casting call for “The Karate Kid Part II’ which she won, and the film would become her big break, leading to her starring in a number of independent films.

Tomita then had a big role in the film “Come See the Paradise” which was released in 1990, and then became a part of the drama “The Joy Luck Club” in which she starred opposite Ming-Na Wen. She also became a part of the independent film “Picture Bride” and the comedy “Four Rooms”, alongside Antonia Banderas. She would go on with roles in more major Hollywood productions including “The Day After Tomorrow” in the role of Janet Tokada, and she also starred in the Brazilian film “Gaijin 2: Love Me As I Am”.

Aside from her film work, she also made regular appearances on television, appearing in the soap opera “Santa Barbara” as the character Ming Li.

Recently, her social media pages showed that she is already married and she posts pictures of her as well as her husband regularly on Instagram.
