Minamino Y?ko
, born June 23, 1967)

[2]
Minamino attended
Horikoshi High School
with
Minako Honda
and
Yukiko Okada

Career
[
edit
]
Minamino made her debut television role in 1984 in
Meimon Shiritsu J?shi K?k?
. She began working for the talent agency S1 Company at this time. Despite being a mostly unknown face in Japanese entertainment, Minamino was given an unusually large number of
photos
in a
seinen manga
magazine.

This led to her being cast in 1985 in the role of Saki Asamiya in the second season of
Fuji TV's
Sukeban Deka
, a popular live action TV series about a
juvenile delinquent
being forced to go undercover for the police in a high school known for its rough gangs. This role made Minamino an instant star,
[1]
and many phrases from this season became fashionable. She was also nominated at the 11th Annual
Japan Academy Prize
event as "Rookie of the Year" for her performance in the movie version released in 1987.
[4]
Her "Saki Asamiya" character was used in a wide range of adverts.
She made her singing debut on her 18th birthday in 1985 with her song
Hazukashi Sugite
(
恥ずかし過ぎて
, Too Shy to Say)
. Along with
Shizuka Kudo
,
Miho Nakayama
, and
Yui Asaka
, Minamino was considered one of the Four Divas
(
四天王
,
Shitenn?
)
of the time until she temporarily suspended her career in 1992. In 1988 she played two roles, including the starring role, in the
Taiga drama
Takeda Shingen
. That same year, she reached the number one spot for sales of publicity photo shots sold, setting a new record. Minamino was also honored by the country of
Grenada
in 1988 when they issued postage stamps featuring two different
head shots
.
[5]
In 1989, Minamino switched talent agencies, moving from S1 Company to the private Southern Field agency.
[

In the 1992 film
Kantsubaki
, she made her first nude appearance, closely followed by her second in
Watashi o Daite, Soshite Kiss-shite
that same year. Minamino was nominated for the 16th Annual Japan Academy Prize for "Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role" (basically "Best Actress") for her performances in both of these films.
[6]
Minamino has appeared in interviews and photo shoots in
Shueisha
's
Weekly Playboy
magazine since 1984. In the 1989-08-01 issue, she appeared on the cover.
