Early life and education

Yurika Hino was born in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture. When she started skipping school during her freshman year at Kanagawa Prefectural Shimizugaoka High School,[4] her mother realized that her daughter's situation was not good. It was decided that Yurika needed to find some way to find release. Hino saw an ad for the Himawari Theater Company in the newspaper and joined the company. She then modeled for a junior high school magazine and appeared as an extra in a TV drama.[2]

Hino also loved children, however, and wanted to become a nursery school teacher; her dream was to be the singing sister on the TV show Okaasan to Issho (Mother and Child Together).[2] However, due to her truancy and negligible grades, she gave up on the idea of becoming a teacher. At the time she was wondering what to do, her mother recommended Bunka Gakuin, which she had always admired.[1] Hino visited the school and found the students to be playing around, which she thought was good, so she enrolled in the theater course in the school's literature department.[2] After graduating, she attended the Subaru Theater School.[5]
