Biography

[edit]

Asahina was born on 6 October 1993, in Sumoto City, Hyōgo Prefecture. She is the eldest of two siblings, with one younger brother.[2]

Career

[edit]

After graduating from Hyogo Prefectural Sumoto Technical High School,[3] she worked as a midwife's assistant at a local obstetrics and gynecology clinic for about a year and a half.[4][5] While working at the clinic, she was approached by an acquaintance who suggested she should work as an event model.[6] And while working there, she was scouted by the talent agency E-Smile and signed with them in 2013.[6][7] From there, she began working as a race queen under the stagenamee "Aya Kitagawa (北川 彩)".[8]

In 2014, she moved to Ikushima Planning Office and began working under her real name, Aya Asahina.[9] On October 13, she was selected as the grand prize winner at the DHC Cinderella Awards,[10] and began working as an exclusive model for the January issue of fashion magazine Ray released in November of that year.[11] On November 25 of the same year, she was selected as the 14th Sanai Swimsuit Image Girl [ja].[12]

In November 2015, Asahina was appointed as the "Support Ambassador" for her hometown of Sumoto City, Hyōgo Prefecture.[13]

She made her acting debut in the Amazon original drama Tokyo Alice, which began streaming on 25 August 2017.[14]

In 2019, she began working as an exclusive model for the May issue of the fashion magazine Oggi, which was released in March.[15] In July of the same year, she starred in her first TV drama series, Runway 24 [ja] on TV Asahi.[16][17]

On 6 October 2020, for her 27th birthday, she opened her YouTube channel, "Asahina Channel".[18]

On 13 December 2022, she was appointed as the director for the Awaji Island UNESCO Association.[19]

Personal life

[edit]

She admires actress Keiko Kitagawa, who is also from Hyōgo Prefecture, hence the surname Kitagawa in her former stagename.[20]

On 26 July 2021, Asahina announced her marriage to Sandaime J Soul Brothers member Kenjiro Yamashita.[21] On 14 December 2023, she revealed that she was expecting the couple's first child.[22] On March 25 of the following year, the couple jointly announced the birth of their first child, a son.[23]
