EspañolYUKIKO OKADA
'Yukiko Okada' (岡田有希子 ''Okada Yukiko'', born ''Kayo Sato'' 佐藤佳代) (August 22, 1967 – April 8, 1986 in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture), known as 'Yukko' to her fans, was a Japanese idol during the 1980s, signed to Pony Canyon records. She is still popular in spite of her death of more than 20 years ago.
Yukiko debuted in April of 1984 with her first single "First Date" for the Sun Music Productions. She won the Japan Record Award for New Artists that year.
She also appeared in a Sci-Fi series called "Kinjirareta Mariko" (The Forbidden Mariko) in which she played the main character Mariko who possessed ESP powers for 12 episodes.
Around 10 o'clock April 8, 1986, the 18-year-old Yukiko was found with a slashed wrist in her gas-filled Tokyo apartment, crouching in a closet and sobbing. Two hours later, Okada jumped to her death from the seven-story Sun Music Agency building. [1] The reason for the suicide is still unknown. Her untimely death resulted in many copycat suicides and the christening of the neologism 'Yukko Syndrome' (in reference to copycat suicides) in Japan. [2]
