Ashikawa Yoshimi

Name: Ashikawa Yoshimi
Native name: 芦川よしみ
Also Known as: Awaya Yoshimi, あしかわよしみ, 河野芳美, 粟屋芳美
Nationality: Japanese
Gender: Female
Born: December 13, 1958
Age: 66

Ashikawa Yoshimi, born Kono Yoshimi (河野芳美), is a Japanese actress and singer from Tokyo, Japan. She graduated from Ono Gakuen Women's High School (小野学園女子高等学校) and is affiliated with Office Mitsui (オフィス三井). She is also known by the name Awaya Yoshimi (粟屋芳美) and is married to a doctor.

Ashikawa began her career at the age of 12 as a member of a children's theater troupe. She made her acting debut in the 1971 drama "Sora ga Konna ni Aoi to wa" (空がこんなに青いとは) and her singing debut in 1976 with the song "Hanabi" (花火). From 1979, she worked as an assistant on the "Ogawa Hiroshi Show" (小川宏ショー) for one year.

In November 2005, Ashikawa fractured her right cheekbone during a hotel accident in Hiroshima while on the national tour of "Abarenbo Shogun" (暴れん坊将軍). Despite the injury, she continued to perform for 18 shows over 10 days. After returning to Tokyo, further damage to her eye socket required a six-hour surgery at Keio University Hospital, followed by another surgery in March 2006.
