yukie nakama is one of the rare few young Japanese celebrities that have been able to break free from their teeny-bopper image and emerge as one of the country's most popular and well-respected actresses. She respects Shizuka Kudō. She is close to Hitomi Shimatani and went to Los Angeles for a trip together.

yukie nakama appeared in bit roles until she appeared in "Love & Pop (1998)". She was a 'gravure' (swimsuit photo book) idol for a few years until she got the lead role as Sadako for "Ring 0: Birthday (2000)", which gave her career a big break.






Nakama afterwards starred in several TV Dramas, notably "Trick (2000)" which demonstrated her talent in comedic roles. The program was such a hit that it had two more seasons (Trick 2 (2002) and Trick 3 (2003)). However, the top-rating TV series "Gokusen (2002, reprised in 2005 and 2008)", a live-action version of the popular manga (comics), established her as one of Japan's most bankable and popular actresses.
