Biography
Nishiwaki was born and raised in Hiroshima, Japan, where she attended Actor’s School Hiroshima with friends and current Perfume members Yuka Kashino and Ayano Ōmoto.

She formed Perfume in 2001 with Kashino and former member Kawashima Yuka, who left shortly after to focus on her schoolwork. After discussing the issue with her mother, who believed that a three-piece group had more stage presence than a duo, Nishiwaki asked Omoto to join the group.
