Amuro Namie (Okinawa Prefecture, 1977- ) A quarter Italian on her mother's side, Amuro Namie had the kind of exotic look and a reasonably decent voice that made her a potential star. But driving ambition - her first performance was in a supermarket at the age of twelve - and teaming up with the right people also played a big part. Her success started something of a wave of starlets from Okinawa, including the hugely popular girl groups Max and Speed.

Amuro Namie's heyday was in the early 1990s but her nature - she is a determined and ambitious survivor - ensured that she lasted well past her "Sell By" date. A native of the southern island of Okinawa, she joined the Okinawa Actors School in her early teens.
