Early life
editYukino Komori was born on December 6, 1996, in Chiba prefecture, Japan.
Komori has been taking dance classes since the age of five until she joined Doll☆Elements at sixteen. She has learned dance styles such as classic ballet, hip-hop, jazz dance and hip-hop jazz. She has wanted to be an idol because she liked to stand in front of people and dance.[3]
As a child, Komori was a fan of a Japanese idol group, Morning Musume.[4] Her favorite member was Riho Sayashi and Haruka Kudo.[5] She was also a fan of AKB48 and she admires Yuko Oshima.[6] Komori had mentioned that she wants to be a person like Oshima, who can energise many people through television. This is also a reason she wanted to be an idol.[7]
Career
editKomori auditioned for the Doll☆Elements audition which took place from April 2013. On November 10, she was revealed as the new member of Doll☆Elements at a concert which was held in the Akihabara UDX Theater. This day, she was introduced during the encore and performed "Kimi no Heart ni Toki Hanatsu!" and "Kimi no Koto Mamoritai!".[8] During the audition, Komori had been thinking that this audition will be her last chance to audition for a Japanese idol group. Therefore, she mentioned on her blog that if she failed for Doll☆Elements, she wouldn't have been an idol[9]
On November 9, 2015, it was announced that she will be taking place as a regular member of an internet TV show; "Instant Johnson no Shall We Conte?". This was her first solo TV show appearance.[10][11]
