Biography

During her third year at Seki Shoko High School, Yoko Kumada applied for Weekly Shōnen Magazine's Miss Magazine swimsuit contest.

In 2006, Kumada released her first single "Always"/"Watashi Dake no Basho" (Always / わたしだけの場所, lit. "Always"/"My Place") after years of vocal training. A year later, she was appointed as the tourism ambassador of Gifu Prefecture's Hida/Mino Jiman Project.[1][2] In 2011, at the request of boxer Kōki Kameda, Kumada served as a ring girl during his match in Osaka. That year, she also appeared in the fashion magazine I Love Mama.[3]
