Profile

History

Ishikawa Rika joined Morning Musume in April of 2000 as a member of the fourth generation, along with Yoshizawa Hitomi, Tsuji Nozomi, and Kago Ai. Almost immediately, she and Kago were put into the subgroup Tanpopo to replace Ishiguro Aya, who had left the group the previous year.

From 2001 to 2003, Ishikawa was loaned to Country Musume to form Country Musume ni Ishikawa Rika. When Morning Musume was split into two groups in 2003, Ishikawa was a part of the Otome Gumi half, and in 2004, she formed half of EcoMoni with Michishige Sayumi to promote ecological causes.

In August of 2004, Ishikawa, along with Miyoshi Erika and Okada Yui, formed the trio v-u-den, with Ishikawa becoming the leader. She graduated from Morning Musume on May 7, 2005 to work with v-u-den full-time.

Ishikawa has been featured in eight solo photobooks, and she also had her own radio show, Ishikawa Rika no Chanchaka Charmy.

In 2007, Ishikawa was added to Ongaku Gatas, a unit consisting of members from Gatas Brilhantes H.P. and Hello! Pro Egg. They have since released two singles and their first album in February 2008.

After v-u-den disbanded in June 2008, Ishikawa will now continue her focus with Ongaku Gatas.

Trivia

  • Ishikawa has been in the most Hello! Project units out of all the members.
  • Her Morning Musume mentor was Yasuda Kei.
  • She considers her mother her rival because she always said to Ishikawa that she used to be cuter.
  • One of her nicknames as a child was "Chimu", due to the fact that she used to be chubby (muchimuchi).
  • Her favorite baseball team is the Hanshin Tigers.
  • She previously suffered from severe ornithophobia (fear of birds), which was frequently made fun of during her appearances on Utaban humorously by the use of chickens. During a 2005 New Year's Day special, however, she seemed to respond well to hypnotherapy, and she has mostly outgrown her fear since then.
  • Best friends with Shibata Ayumi. Also known to get along well with Yasuda Kei and Yaguchi Mari. Ayaka has also stated that they often hang out together, along with Yoshizawa Hitomi and Satoda Mai.
  • Hates injections, and stated that she has it tough, since she has small, hard-to-find blood vessels.
