Information

Oshima Yuko is a Japanese singer and gravure idol (formerly U-15). She was formerly part of Doll's Vox and is now part of Akihabara48's 'Team K'. She was also one of the members of the unit ICE from AKB48.

Yuko has been consistently given prominent roles in AKB48's singles and PVs. Aitakatta's PV (the first one she participated in) saw Yuko and Takahashi Minami running through a town to meet a friend; played by Maeda Atsuko. Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru gave Yuko her first A-side solo line, and featured her wandering the streets of Shibuya. In Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou, she played the distraught best friend of a victim of bullying (played by Miyazawa Sae), and in BINGO! Yuko was featured as a captive on a 'pirate ship' along with the single's other leads.
