Biography
Born in Fukuoka Prefecture, Tamura gained fame as an advocate for the Lolita fashion movement, wearing Lolita-style clothing in public, and for her music releases, often in music videos and for album cover on CD releases. Affectionately called Yukarin by her fans, several of her releases have been used as opening and ending themes for anime series, while some have reached the Oricon top 100 singles and album charts. In 2001, Tamura and Yui Horie formed a unit called Yamato Nadeshiko. Two singles were released, Mō Hitori no Watashi and Merry Merrily - the latter of which was an insert song in the Love Hina Christmas Special.
On January 1, 2007, her talent management agency changed from Arts Vision to I'm Enterprise, a subsidiary of Arts Vision. On April 1, 2007, her record company officially changed from Konami to King Records. However, there was no material effect for her, because the actual record production of Konami is carried out by King Records. She is the narrator of anime satellite television network Animax.
In February 2016, her agency announced that a concert which had been announced during a Niconico livestream was cancelled in 2015. Her management also announced that her fan club would change ownership and her radio programs would end. Her staff's Twitter account would be closed and her website would undergo maintenance. On February 13, 2016, her management announced that her contract with King Records would end on March 20. She changed her agency once more from I'm Enterprise to Amuleto.
