There is not much that makes Kashiwazaki famous, except the worrying presence of a nuclear power plant, but the city has Mihiro Tangicuhi a.k.a. simply Mihiro. Born Yamase Hiromi, she is a Japanese actress, writer, singer, gravure and AV idol from Kashiwazaki City in Niigata Prefecture. She began her career as a gravure idol in 2001 and singer with her debut single SunFlower of 2004, but entered the AV universe a year thereafter. She entered the world of mainstream acting in 2006 with an appearance on TV Tokyo's drama 2nd House with gravure idol Sayaka Isoyama and increasingly appeared on TV variety shows and commercials. She was also a member of the short-lived Man-zoku Divas adult video star group. By 2007 she had a recurring role on TV Asahi's Tissue serial. She starred in the film Cruel Restaurant in 2008, which mixed fun, cooking, sex and dumplings. She continued her roles on television, cinema and adult video realms. She and many other S1 agency actresses like Ozawa Maria were regularly on TV Osaka's variety show Please Muscat or Onegai Muscat. 2009 brought the Nude autobiography, which went over her life including her entry into the porn world. Mihiro was in Korean Classroom, alongside Aoi Sora, in 2009, which aired on Korean television. Nude became a movie in 2010. She retired from adult movies in that year, but continued her life in the entertainment industry. She made many a man cross in 2015 by marrying stuntman Shimokawa Shinya on her birthday. They were dating for three years.
