born November 15, 1992 is a Japanese singer and actress, represented by Production Ogi. She was a member of the Japanese idol girl group AKB48, and its subunit no3b. She is noted for having the longest tenure among the group's original members from 2005 to 2021.
In an article for The Japan Times, titled: "AKB48 member’s ‘penance’ shows flaws in idol culture", Ian Martin noted: "What is happening here is that the protection of fans’ fragile fantasies automatically trumps the basic human right to a life outside that fantasy framework. Though as lawyer Hifumi Okunuki pointed out in a Japan Times article on Jan. 22, such an arrangement is probably illegal under Japanese labor laws."
Numerous international media reported this incident, including Agence France-Presse, BBC, CNN, Daily News, The Guardian, ABC, The Huffington Post, Radio Programas del Perú, Aftonbladet, Spiegel Online, Al Jazeera English and the Manila Bulletin.
Her postponed concert was eventually rescheduled to May 22, 2021, and was held at Pia Arena MM in Yokohama. She officially graduated from AKB48 on May 28, ending her 16-year membership with the group.
