Biography
Aragaki Yui
(新垣結衣, Aragaki Yui?, born June 11, 1988) is a Ryukyuan Japanese model,
actress and seiyu. Born in Naha, Okinawa, she was nicknamed Gakky in
2001 by Ayako Enomoto.

After seeing an audition notice for the
junior fashion magazine nicola, Yui applied and won the Grand Prix
award for the audition. After that, she became a nicomo (nicola model)
and because of her fashion sense and logical personality, gained many
fanatics. In 2004 she put her modeling in nicola on hold to expand her
current career into gravure, appearing on variety shows, and acting. In
2005 she officially graduated from the magazine. The same year, she was
in the TBS drama Dragon Zakura. This began her entrance into the acting
world and she has gone on to appear in other shows since. Even though
she has graduated from nicola, she still appears in the magazine
occasionally.

2006 marked the release of her first photograph book, Chura Chura, which is regional dialect for something that is beautiful.
