Tokito Ami (時東ぁみ) born in Tokyo, Japan on September 25, 1987 is a gravure idol and singer. Her real name is Komatsu Yukie (小松幸江). What makes Ami so attractive to fans are her trademark glasses, as she is rarely seen not wearing them. While most gravure idols do wear glasses when they’re not in front of cameras, few wear them in front of camera when it isn’t candid or for cosplay. Because of this, Ami is known as a “megadol”, short for “meganekko idol”. Ami has actually admitted to having 1.5 eyesight in each eye. During her time on the Miss Magazine futsal team, Ami acted as goalkeeper and instead of glasses, she wore goggles to protect her eyes. As a child, Ami was part of a local theater company during her fifth grade year in 1998. She was also in the drama Sensei Shiranai no?. Ami’s first and second singles were released under the Marvelous Entertainment label, while her first two mini-albums were released under Good Factory Record. Ami then made her major “debut” under her new label TNX, a company that Tsunku created, with her third single I’m a lady ~Jirettai Watashi~. Most (if not all) of her songs are produced by Tsunku and have been arranged by most Hello! Project arrangers. In addition to her solo music career, Ami was recently put into the group Gyaruru with Gal Sone Natsuko and Abe Asami. She can currently be seen as Tsunku’s co-host on his web TV show Tsunku TV. |
