Ayaka Nishiwaki (西脇 綾香 Nishiwaki Ayaka), nicknamed A-chan (あ～ちゃん), is a member of the Japanese electropop group Perfume.[1]
[edit] Biography
Nishiwaki was born and raised in Hiroshima, Hiroshima, Japan where she attended Hiroshima Actors School with friends and current Perfume members Yuka Kashino and Ayano Ōmoto.
She formed Perfume in 2001 with Kashino and former member Yūka Kawashima, who left shortly after to focus on her schoolwork. After discussing the issue with her mother, who believed that a three-piece group had more stage presence than a duo, Nishiwaki asked Ōmoto to join the group.[2]
Her younger sister Sayaka is a member of the group "9nine".[2]
