INTRODUCTION
Sae Hayami (早見紗英) is a Japanese model, actress, idol, and television personality known for her versatile presence in the Japanese entertainment and gravure modeling industry. Born in Mie Prefecture, Japan, she first gained public attention as a founding member of the Nagoya-based idol group dela before expanding her career into modeling, gravure, television appearances, and acting. With a tall and balanced figure, a bright on-screen personality, and strong communication skills, Hayami gradually built a reputation as a multi-talented entertainer.
Her career spans several areas of Japanese pop culture including idol music, gravure magazines, television reporting, and live performance. She also joined the popular cross-dressing idol group Fudanjuku (風男塾), performing under the stage name Rikuu Hanashiro (英城凛空). This dual identity in the entertainment world — appearing both as Sae Hayami and as Rikuu Hanashiro — has become one of the most distinctive aspects of her career.
Beyond idol activities, Hayami has appeared in well-known Japanese magazines, released a gravure DVD, and worked as a reporter on regional television programs. Her appearance on the cover of magazines such as Young Champion and her gravure work helped introduce her to a broader national audience.
With experience in modeling, media appearances, and idol performances, Sae Hayami represents the modern generation of Japanese entertainers who successfully balance multiple entertainment roles. Her friendly public image, academic background, and international interests — including Chinese language skills — further contribute to her unique profile in the Japanese entertainment scene.
