Information
Yoko originally applied to be a contestant of Miss Magazine in her third year of high school but had to drop out due to her mother's strong disapproval. Yoko went on to nursing school after her graduation, but also entered a talent agency's audition in order to pursue her dream of being part of the entertainment world. She was only able to do this because her mother was travelling abroad at the time and her flight
home was delayed due to bad weather. Yoko was able to fulfill her dream of being part of the entertainment world after passing the audition.

On January 27th, 2006, the magazine Friday reported Yoko to have snuck out of Okamura Tadashi's place in the morning after being there overnight. The rumors ran wild, but Yoko and Tadashi kept to their stories that nothing had happened between them. Because of this insistence though, people only believe moreso that the two did have a relationship. Tadashi says he simply invited Yoko over for a casserole.
