Hello! Database: Yuko Nakazawa

One of the original members of Morning Musume, Yuko was the oldest and most likely because of that, she became first leader of the group. Yuko was also the first member to start a solo career.

Her solo career is still active and she has relatively many singles. In addition to singing she has appeared on some dramas as well.

Until Kei graduated from Morning Musume Yuko was the host of Hello! Morning. These days her presence in the show is limited mostly to the skits and the Hello! Project news segment.
