Yamamoto Linda

 (山本リンダ) is a singer and multi-talent.

She began her entertainment career as a model in 1962, then made her music debut in 1966 with Komacchau na. The song was a massive hit that established her as a popular young idol of the time. Her following releases were less successful, and her popularity declined.

She transferred labels to Canyon Records in the early 1970s and found a second wave of popularity beginning with the hit Dou ni mo Tomaranai in 1972. This marked her rebranding from an idol to a singer with a sexy adult image.

On May 3, 2001, she married university professor Inaba Mitsuhiko.
