A Stalker's Guide to Araki Yuko

We have so many Stalker's Guides on hot, hunky men, so this is my attempt to make the series more balanced and fair. For an actress to catch my attention at all she must have something special otherwise she is just dressing to move the plot along for my leading man.  Araki Yuko is one such actress.

I first saw this actress in Code Blue 3 and she really caught my attention with her beauty.  Not long after that, she popped up again in Million Yen Women, and now I seem to notice her everywhere! Here are the things I have seen her in, afterwards I'll give you her information.
