Born on June 11, 1988 in Naha, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, Niigaki is a standard Ryukyu beauty.
Okinawa has always been rich in beautiful women, such as Namie Amuro, Yuki Nakama, and Hikaru Manjima, all of whom are first-class beauties, and Yui Niigaki is no exception.
Yui Niigaki has been a shy girl since she was a child, but she is very fond of the girl group SPEED, and she has also plucked up the courage to sign up for the local artist training school three times, but each time it ends in failure.
Repeated setbacks hit her self-confidence, but also tried to give up her dream of stardom, tall and tall began to focus on sports, joined the badminton club in middle school, and then entered high school, and also served as the manager of the women's basketball department.
In 2001, When Yuki Niigaki's sister saw that the magazine Nicola was soliciting models for elementary and middle school students, she told Yuki Niigaki the news.
Nicola is a fashion magazine for primary and secondary school students, and it is also the leader of this type of magazine. If you can become its exclusive model, it is equivalent to one foot has stepped into the show business circle. Like Yu Aoi, and later Noh Nian Reina and Nagano Yayu all debuted in this way.
In fact, Yui Niigaki's sister also hopes to become an idol. However, due to her age restrictions, she could not compete, so she could only give her hopes to the 13-year-old Niigaki Yui, hoping that she could try again and complete her dream of becoming a star.
As a result, Yui Niigaki went to the selection of elementary and junior high school students in "Nicola" and was very lucky to receive the best award. Since then, she has become an exclusive model for Nicola.
This was her first step into show business.
Yui Niigaki did not live up to her sister's expectations, and until she graduated from Nicola in 2005, she was the actress with the most magazine covers. That record wasn't broken until 2008 by her junior, Rei Okamoto.
After graduating from "Nicola", Yui Niigaki gradually became well-known in the show business, and her height of nearly 170 centimeters and sweet smile became her logo. At this time, she is no longer the shy girl she was then, and her positive and optimistic attitude has also made her quite popular.
In 2005, Yui Niigaki got a chance to star in his TV debut Shibuya 15.
But this is not a sign of her leap, and all the dawn will not be long after.
②
A few months after starring in Shibuya 15, Yui Niigaki was given the opportunity to star in the campus inspirational TV series "Dragon Sakura".
Prior to this, Niigaki Yui mainly shot swimsuit photos in some magazines, although she was tall, but her curves were flat, sweet and sexy, if you rely on photography alone, you can't survive in the show business circle.
Yuki Niigaki has also tried to sing, but the singing skills are also ordinary; there is no too brilliant place in variety shows.
So, becoming an actress is almost the only option.
"Dragon Sakura" is well-made, starring the famous actor Hiroshi Abe, as well as the popular idol Tomohisa Yamashita, and Masami Nagasawa.
When it comes to Niigaki Yui, Nagasawa Masami is always a name that can't be avoided, they are only one year apart, their height, constellation and even blood type are exactly the same, and they also have a bright smile. Masami Nagasawa is like a summer bathrobe and fireworks, and her beauty is a kind of idyllic enthusiasm that you can't help but miss.
The new Yuki is another interpretation of summer, she is quiet and comfortable feeling. Her smile carries the calm sea breeze on Ryukyu Island, so that you can relax and close your eyes and go looking for the best dreams.
However, at this time, Niigaki Yui did not have Nagasawa Masami, and she looked much inferior to Nagasawa Masami in the hot girl style in the play. However, this did not prevent the two of them from becoming friends, and in the years to come, they became two "Japanese drama queens" who competed.
In March 2006, Yui Niigaki released her first photo album "ちゅら☆ちゅら"; a year later, she released her second photo album "Pure White", in the same year, she starred in the love movie "Love Air", for which she won the 31st Japan Film Academy Awards and the 50th Japanese Film Blue Ribbon Award for Best Newcomer Award.
Adapted from the mobile phone novel of the same name, "Love Void" tells the story of an ordinary high school student Mika and a handsome classmate Hiroki who accidentally met and fell in love, and finally separated by yin and yang.
Yui Niigaki starred in the play as the heroine Mika Tahara, who was pure to the extreme and surprised many viewers, and was simply the most perfect high school girl in her dreams. Her fame also went away, and she gradually became a first-line actress.
It is worth mentioning that she also entered the eyes of Chinese audiences with this drama, and thus became the "wife" of many people.
At this time, Niigaki Yuki was only 19 years old.
③
Niigaki's acting career has slowly been opened, and perhaps some people have always criticized her acting skills, but with her pure and healing appearance, she still has a place in Japanese dramas.
After "Love Void", the role played by Yui Niigaki rarely has complex emotions, whether it is a light-hearted or dark-oriented script, the roles she can get are labeled as "pure beauty". Even in the critically acclaimed legal comedy "Legal High", her acting skills were overshadowed by Masato Sakai and a number of supporting characters.
To be fair, Niigaki's acting skills can only be considered decent.
But who can say no to such a girl with such a healing smile? Just a wink, a nod or a smile in front of the camera can touch the heart of the boy in front of the screen. Isn't that an actor's strength?
From 2008 to 2015, this was the era of soaring popularity of Niigaki Yui, and dramas such as Code Blue, Smile, and Legal High became classics in the hearts of a generation.
As a result, Chinese fans have also placed her alongside Masami Nagasawa, Eiri Toda, and Masaki Horikita as the "Four Pillars of Japanese Drama." In Japan, she is often compared with Masami Nagasawa, and many funny passages have been born.
In the TV series "LEGAL HIGH", Yuki Niigaki, who plays a young lawyer Xiao Dai, is ridiculed as "If you were Masami Nagasawa". However, in "JP", which aired a few years later, Masami Nagasawa was also teased that "if only Niigaki Yui would be good". Niigaki Yuki relied on this linkage to win back a round.
At this time, there was also a boom in the internet called "wife", and The new Yuki was the one who was called the most.
Fast forward to 2016, and Yui Niigaki starred in the romantic comedy "Escape Is Shameful but Useful", playing an unemployed single elderly young woman who contracted to marry , "Shiori Moriyama". The male protagonist in the play is Hoshino Gen, who plays her husband.
"Escape Is Shameful but Useful" was the hottest Japanese drama of the year, and the official dance that Yui Niigaki danced at the end of the film also caused a wave of imitation. However, her husbands on the Internet would not have thought that this film would completely shatter their dreams.
On May 19, 2021, Yui Niigaki and Hoshino Gen announced their marriage.

Yui Niigaki's personality outside the camera has always been slightly cool.
She is modest, gentle, polite, doesn't like to use social software, and fans have difficulty accessing her life through off-screen media. She gives the impression of a lively and cheerful healing goddess in front of the stage, while in her bones she is still the silent, introverted little girl.
This may be the simple nature of the people of the outlying islands. Yui Niigaki has said that he does not like a well-defined life. "For example, before making an agreement to meet with someone, I don't like to set the time to death, because that will make me constrained." If the time is agreed, it will make you panic when the time comes. ”
When asked, this friend will not have a headache. She also laughed and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, this may be the character of Okinawans." ”
The character of longing for tranquility has always influenced her actions. Although she was in the year of stardom, she still expressed her hope to get married sooner on the show. After she announced the wedding news, she immediately became a hot search. Not only has it become a hot topic of discussion among netizens in major media, but it has also reimbursed the firm's website server, and its influence can be seen.
Even after marriage, Niigaki Yui still maintained the appearance of "not wanting to be disturbed".
At present, she has been living with her husband in the form of "separate marriage", that is, living in their own homes, and occasionally going to each other's homes to live together, in order to maintain the freshness of marriage and personal living space, so that the relationship is more long-lasting.
This model of marriage, whether good or bad, is quite suitable for the character of Niigaki Yui. And her appearance of being a little unfamiliar with her newlywed husband on the show has also caused fans to have more reverie.
Yui Niigaki is the leader among Japan's post-80s actresses. She can stand out on the Japanese opera stage where the crowd is competing, in addition to her sweet looks and her own efforts, she exudes a natural and kind atmosphere with a sea breeze, which is also an essential factor for success. This unique charm is something that no one else can imitate.
Some people say that Niigaki Yui did not choose to announce the marriage news on "520", which is the greatest tenderness to those "husbands" on the Internet. This look is a joke, but it also reflects everyone's understanding of her to a certain extent.
That is endless tenderness.
