Biography
Akari Uchida is a Japanese actress and singer. Her birth name is Kuniko Ōgata (大形 久仁子). She was born in Osaka Prefecture. She was previously known by the stage name Akari Uchida (内田 明里), which is pronounced the same. Under her birth name Kuniko Ōgata, she gained recognition as a jazz cafe singer in her hometown.

In 1973, after seven years in the industry, she moved to CBS Sony and changed her stage name to "Akari Uchida." This stage name was given to her by composer Ichirō Sase, who considered both spiritual inspiration and physiognomy. The name "Uchida" was chosen due to its visual resemblance to her round face, and "Akari" (meaning "light") was chosen to signify that light always shines on her round face. Her hit song "浮世絵の街" (Ukiyo-e Town) with elaborate designs by Kansai Yamamoto and a jacket illustration by Kazuo Uemura became a huge hit, selling 700,000 copies. The kimono-style blouse costume designed by Yamamoto cost 1.2 million yen, and it's said that she performed without panties on television.
Her successful song "好色一代女" (A Licentious Woman's Lifetime) in 1989 brought attention with its eccentric costumes and alluring charm. The same year, the song won the "Lyricist Award" at the Japan Record Awards.
In addition to her singing career, Akari Uchida expanded her acting career in films and television dramas.
