In October 2007, Miyoshi made her first appearance in a TV drama with Otoko no Kosodate.[6]

She began her modeling career in the first grade of elementary school. After passing the audition for Nico-petit, she appeared in the fashion magazine from July 2008 to June 2010.[6]

In April 2010, Miyoshi joined the Japanese idol group Sakura Gakuin.[7]

In August 2010, after participating in the Miss Seventeen 2010 audition for new models, Miyoshi became an exclusive model for the teen fashion magazine Seventeen.[8][9]

She left Sakura Gakuin with a graduation ceremony on March 25, 2012.[10]

In 2022, Miyoshi became Tiffany & Co.'s first brand ambassador for Japan.[11]

Miyoshi was cast as Ann Rizuna in the Netflix series Alice in Borderland.[12] She played the lead role of Ran Tachibana in the 2023 film Knuckle Girl.[13]

In June 2024, Miyoshi was named as the official ambassador for the TikTok TOHO Film Festival 2024.[14]

Personal life

Miyoshi was born on June 18, 1996 in the city of Kawagoe, Saitama. She is an only child.[16] She can speak Korean fluently.[17]

In 2019, there were media speculations about Miyoshi and Ryoma Takeuchi's romantic relationship, but their agencies at that time did not disclose any information about the two, and they themselves did not comment on the reports till later in May 2020, when it was revealed by media outlets that they were already living together and were "counting down the days until marriage." Unfortunately, on October 27, 2024, the couple reportedly split after four years to focus more on their careers.[18]
