Race Queen Miho Yoshioka

Born on February 3 1980 in Osaka, Yoshioka began her career as a Race Queen for Mario International then became a spokesmodel for companies like Suntory (Shinjiro Torii), Japan's leading producer and distributor of western-style liquor products. She quickly moved on to TV and radio work in commercials and on the NHK educational television series ITALIAN LANGUAGE CLASS.

In the past few years her face has appeared on the covers of most of Japan's major manga and tabloid magazines and she has been the subject of nearly a dozen lingerie, fashion, and swimsuit photo books, one of which sold more than 10 thousands copies on its first day of sale. The most recent volume is MELLOW AND MYSTERIOUS MIHO, a special collection of "erotic" but sweet modeling pics from Italy, Australia, and Japan. This memorial tribute from Kouki Nishiea, Shogakukan has been announced as her last swimsuit photo book now that she has turned her attention to acting.

Her first movie is GANRYU ISLAND (Ganryujima), the latest adaptation of the legend of Musashi Miyamoto. She also stared in the movie, GODZILLA x MOTHRA x MECHAGODZILLA: TOKYO SOS.
