Akari Yoshida
Appointed May 2022
Born in Osaka Prefecture and a first-generation member of music idol group NMB48, Yoshida appeared on nearly every single released by the group, a competitive position decided in the "Senbatsu" elections voted upon by fans.
After graduating from NMB48, Yoshida has been active not only as a TV personality and model, but also as a cosmetics producer and in many other ventures. Her beauty-related videos on YouTube and other social media sites have gained a large following among young people.
