Yuki Uchida

Actor · Born November 16, 1975 (50) · Tokyo, Japan

Uchida Yuki was born in Tokyo. She attended Fujimura Women's High School and fenced as an activity. Like most Japanese female celebrities she has modelled, acted, sang and represented companies in commercials and advertisements. She began working at age sixteen in 1991 and subsequently skipped finishing school. She began acting in serials and did modelling emphasizing a masculine look with short hair. She would later grow her hair slightly. She had a radio show as well, which lasted until shortly after the turn of the century. Her first single, Tenca Wo Torou!, which also acted as a theme for a serial called Hanjyoku Tamago in which she participated landed at position one in the Japanese charts. There were several concert videos and photo books of her in this period. She began her own acting workshops. She retired upon marriage to fellow actor Hidetaka Yoshioka in 2002. However she returned in 2006 following her 2005 divorce and became active on television again. Mizuno Miki was the mainstay actress in the Odoru Daisosasen TV serials and movies, but was not cast again in 2010. Reports emerged that she was blacklisted after departing Burning Productions in 2005, which is yakuza owned, and as such was replaced by that agency's actress Uchida Yuki.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
