Biography: Yuko Moriyama is a Japanese actress. She was born on December 9, 1968 in Tokyo. She made her debut using her real name, but changed her given name to the hiragana writing of Yuko (ゆうこ) in 2000. Due to the lack of public activity, it’s generally assumed that Moriyama retired from the industry sometime after the release of her photo book “Dear Friend” in February 2004.
