Information

Ishikawa Hidemi was born in 1966 as the second daughter to a member of Japanese Self Defense services. However, her father was killed in a traffic accident when Hidemi was in 4th grade. From then on, her mother continued to raise her and her siblings as a single mother. In middle school, Ishikawa was a member of her middle school's basketball club. Around that same time, she also applied for the "Younger Brother and Sister Recuiting Audition" held by Saijo Hideki. Ishikawa was chosen out of 55,460 applicants from the audition and started to focus on her musical career when she moved to Tokyo after graduating from middle school.

Ishikawa made her singing debut in 1982 with the single "Yousei Jidai". She won various awards like Rookie of the Year at various music festivals as her popularity sky-rocketed. She was also a regular on the such television programs like Hana no 82 Nen Gumi.

In 1989, Ishikawa met talent Yakumaru Hirohide and began a intimate friendship. A year later, a scandal, dealing with Ishikawa being pregnant, broke out that forced Ishikawa to marry Yakumaru. Due to the marriage, Ishikawa retired from show business by the end of the year. But, she wouldn't retire completely as she appeared in a handful of commercials with her husband in the 90s. Her eldest son, Yakumaru Sho, debuted as an actor in doramas and films in 2008.
