Information

Yoshino Kayoko was one of the original members of Onyanko Club when she was one of many girls that won the All Night Fuji-sponsored contest for a new idol group in 1985. However, she was fired on April 25th, 1985 after a tabloid published photos of several members smoking in a café despite being under-age. The scandal became known as the "Shuukan Bunshun Kitsuen Jiken". At that time, Onyanko Club had not yet released their first single and were still relatively unknown, making her departure from the group unnoticed by the public's eye.

Following her departure, she disappeared from the public eye completely though there were rumours of her having become a model.
