Background
Early life
Yoko attended Konan High School and had a boyfriend named Akiyoshi Fujie. Yoko began pursuing a career as an idol which lead Akiyoshi to break up with her after being persuaded by her's manager, Yamagishi, but it was later revealed that Akiyoshi never stopped loving her.[1][2]
Idol career
Yoko started her idol career as a member of the quartet "Earth Ladies", along with Kaoru Kusano, Yuki Takeno, and Terumi Hoshino. The team was quite successful, but after some time they disbanded to pursue their own careers. Yoko has remained successful and quite popular in the pop idol and acting business.[3]
In the beginning of her solo career, she became good friends with another idol, Yuko Ikuzawa. However at a later date, Yoko got chosen to play a role that was supposed to go to Yuko, which sparked some animosity.[1][2]
Yoko first met Conan Edogawa, Kogoro Mouri and his daughter Ran Mouri when she asked for Kogoro's help in apprehending a stalker who had even penetrated her apartment (and of course, Kogoro would not hesitate to take the case). But in the apartment they found an unknown man impaled upon a knife, turning this case into a murder investigation. Soon, however, Conan figured out that the 'victim' had actually committed suicide: The man was Akiyoshi Fujie, Yoko's old boyfriend who still loved her. Due to a fatal misunderstanding, involving Fujie mistaking Yuko for Yoko, Akiyoshi fell into despair and plunged himself onto a knife, making it appear as if he had been murdered by Yoko in order to take revenge on her. Luckily, Conan found out the truth before damage could be inflicted on Yoko's career.[1][2]
Overcoming her grief, Yoko has carried on her career and has remained a friend and valuable contact to Kogoro and Conan in the TV and idol industry ever since. She has also gone on to appear in several movies, such as "Kiss Note" and "Zombie Blade".
Personality
Yoko is a modest and friendly person whose fame hasn't got into her head and is devoted to her friends and fans; perhaps one of the reasons she has remained popular to this day.
