Yukipoyo

Yukipoyo (Yuki Kimura) is a Japanese-Filipino gyaru model, television personality, and musician. Born to a Filipino mother and a Japanese father, she debuted as a reader model for egg magazine and drew more than 60 million views on Vine before appearing on the first season of The Bachelor Japan in 2017. She went on to take part in The Bachelor Winter Games, and joined Wells Adams as one of the bartenders on the fifth season of Bachelor in Paradise in 2018. The franchise helped propel her into mainstream recognition in Japan, where she became a prolific presence on variety television while continuing to work across modelling and acting.

She began releasing music as Yukipoyo in July 2026 with debut single ‘Te-Te Gyaru’, a Brazilian funk ode to gyaru culture written with producer XLII and released through KSR Corporation. A Tagalog remix featuring Filipino rapper Zae followed in September 2026, recorded partly in her mother’s first language and accompanied by a video shot in Manila.
