Tanaka Yoko (田中陽子) is a former Japanese idol singer, model, and talento.
About[]
She first got her start in the entertainment industry by winning first place in two auditions, one being called "THE AUDITION", and the other being the 14th annual "HoriPro Talent Scout Caravan" in August 1989.
She ended her career shortly after starting it because she felt the expectations of being an idol were "too high." She had also stated that she didn't feel comfortable in some photoshoots and refused to appear in a swimsuit, implying that she didn't like her management.
Her husband is Japanese wrestler Alexander Otsuka.
