If you're interested in gyaru fashion, or Japanese television variety shows, chances are you've seen Yuki Kimura, aka Yukipoyo. The half-Japanese, quarter Filipina and quarter Spanish model and tarento (television personality) first gained a following as a popular reader model for the fashion magazine, egg, and has been a regular on Japanese TV variety shows since 2018. Outside of Japan, she is most widely recognized for her appearance on The Bachelor Winter Games in which she was eliminated (arguably unfairly) in Episode 3.
In 2019, Yukipoyo came out with her first photobook Yuikipoyogram, her gravure DVD-ROM YukipoyoTube, and recorded her first single with Japanese rapper SLOTH called アイタイ アエナイ (Aitai Aenai).
