Ichikawa Yui information
Ichikawa Yui is a Japanese gravure idol, actress, and singer. She is also a Japanese fashion model & celebrity. Ichikawa Yui has been trying to get more into TV and recently appeared as a guest celebrity on animal variety show Tensai! Shimura Dobutsuen (Shimura’s Zoo).

She appeared on the section “Ironna Dobutsu o Ie de Kattemiyo” (Let’s Try Looking After Various Species at Home), in which she was given the task of looking after cheetahs in Kenya.

When Ichikawa was a first-year student in a Harajuku junior high, she was scouted to join a NAMCO-sponsored audition in 1999. She won and subsequently began gravure modeling for various magazines in 2000. Her first photobook was released in 2001 at the age of 15. That same year, Ichikawa began her career as a talent, participating in Shibuyakei Joshi Pro-Wrestling, an idol wrestling program. In the months to follow, she was in the sentai-spoof series Jikuu Keisatsu Wecker D-02 with five other up-and-coming gravure idols, including Ogura Yuko and Sakuragi Chikako. She continued to have minor parts in dramas, but when the hit drama Hotman aired in 2003, Ichikawa was bumped up to supporting actress as a sister of the main character. In 2003 again, Ichikawa was in Ringu parody film The Jurei. 2003 also marked Ichikawa's headway into the music business, and in November she released her first single Ame, a cover of the Moritaka Chisato song. By now the young gravure idol had released seven photobooks, participated in six television shows, and two actual movies (Ju-on 1 and 2), and she was still only 17. She had also done voice work for the console game Chaos Legion.
