Born in Tokyo on Christmas Eve 1986, Ishihara recalls having no plans to go into showbiz when she was a child. Having played the koto for nine years, she thought of becoming a teacher one day. “I was interested in becoming a radio announcer, but that was about as close to wanting to get into showbiz as I got,” she says. Then one day she saw on the Internet that HoriPro was having its annual audition, which the talent agency does in 28 locations. Ishihara entered the contest, which consisted of a Q&A, some acting and a swimsuit contest. The rest is history.
