Eiko Koike is a Japanese actress and former gravure idol. Her marriage's name is Eiko Sakata and her maiden name is Eiko Koike. She was born in Setagaya-ku, Tokyo. Her husband is Wataru Sakata, a professional wrestler. When Koike was a child, her parents ran a pachinko parlor founded by her grandfather. She graduated from Yosawa Elementary School in Setagaya Ward and Kudan Japanese and Western Girls High School. The reason she switched to Japanese and Western girls in 9-dan is that she was fascinated by the creative dance club's demonstration at the school's information sessions before taking the high school exam. Koike actually belonged to the same club from the first grade of junior high school to the third grade of high school and devoted herself to her club activities, and she still dances, as it is one of her special skills. She demonstrated her dancing ability in the "Utchan Nanchan no Urinari!" project, "Celebrity Social Dance Club" project, and won the first grade in combination with Golgo Matsumoto, as well as a national title. She also achieved the feat of participating in the Blackpool Dance Festival in the UK in 2005. At first, she wanted to be a kindergarten teacher, but she was scouted by Yoshiharu Noda, president of Yellow Cab, and entered the entertainment world. At first she entered with the goal of becoming an actress, but at an audition after her first drama, she didn't like how she looked on screen. She says that "because if it's a photo, you can be fooled by the angle," and so she went to work as a gravure idol. She started in gravure reluctantly, thinking, "I entered show business on the condition that I wouldn't wear a bathing suit when I was scouting (I wasn't confident in my style)...", but changed her mind, "It's a common complex in young girls who have a lot of breasts, but I think it's okay to sell it", and after that, she started actively working in gravure . She continued to gravure for a long time after the break, and she always said that did not dislike the work of gravure and "want to continue as long as required", but with the division of her agency, she virtually retired from gravure and focused on actress activities. It was published in a magazine saying "I may have had chest surgery", and Koike was angry at this, and she was brought to court (after that, because many testimonies against the publisher were obtained, just before the district court decision. The publisher apologized and settled). During this time, she said that she should manage the portrait rights of women who appear on TV, and cooperated fully with the establishment of the "Portrait Rights Protection Association" in 2004, and Morning Musume in commercials and posters. Co-starred with them. Yoshiharu Noda, who was the president of the agency at that time, said, "I want to clear the suspicion of fake breasts even if I take an X-ray picture," and actually took an X-ray picture in "Akko entrusts me! " I have had it. The results proved that he was not breast augmented (at least not by inserting a silicone back). However, she was shocked to find that her breasts were dripping below the average. After five years of dating with professional wrestler Wataru Sakata, she submitted a marriage registration on August 29, 2007. Immediately after this, she made a guest appearance on Fuji TV's "MentoreG", and in the form of a project brought in by Koike herself, a program recording (aired on September 2, 2007) that introduces dating episodes leading up to marriage etc. She had a wedding reception on July 24, 2008.
