Yuko Ogura

Yuko Ogura (小倉優子) (born November 1 1983) is one of the most popular Japanese idols who typically aims for the cute, "kawaii" schoolgirl look.

Ogura's nickname is "Yukorin".

Ogura is 162 cm tall; her three sizes are B80 W56 H83. Ogura's blood type is B and her favorite color is pink.

She regularly, if not entirely seriously, claims to be one "Princess Apple-Momoka" (りんごももか姫) of the apple-shaped planet Korin (こりん星). This is apparently an in-joke dating back to her middle school days. Having an alternate name was trendy at one point, and one of her friends told her that she looked like a Momoka. She liked the name and still uses it today.

Earth sources contradict these statements and suggest that she was born in Mobara, Chiba prefecture.

It has been suggested -- notably by the Guitar Samurai , in song -- that Ogura has carefully calculated and cultivated a quirky, oddball persona for herself. Ogura denies this.

Ogura is currently studying in the Department of Human Relations at Komasawa Women's University .
