Eriko Tamura (田村 英里子) is a Japanese-American actress and IdolSinger. Born on January 16, 1973, in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan, she has been singing since she was. She got her big break when she was 14 and won an idol competition in Japan, and released her first album, ''May Be Dream'', two years later. She continuted to release music until 1993, when her final album [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sure_(album) Sure]] was released.

Her first starring role was in the NHK series ''My Beloved Ultra Seven'', and she is also known in Japan for acting in ''Hideyoshi'' and ''Born to be Wild!!''. Tamura has since gone on to star in many television series and movies in both the US and Japan.

Something funny - in Japan, she's known for the anime series ''Anime/IdolDensetsuEriko'', an anime series that was massively popular, sold $8 billion Yen in merch sales and warranted a sequel series because of how beloved it was. Meanwhile in the West, she's known for portraying the main villain, Mai, in ''Film/DragonballEvolution'', a film critically panned worldwide.

Tamura did actually produce ''Anime/IdolDensetsuEriko'' to promote her own career as a singer back when she was new to the industry. Before it would air, Eriko herself would appear on-screen and ask that people watch her show. Despite being based on her own life, it takes many liberties - it portrays Eriko as raised in Japan (when she actually spent a lot of her childhood in Germany) and also adds a lot of family drama regarding an EvilUncle and a spurned rival, both of who are completely made up for the sake of the anime. ''Idol Densetsu Eriko'' was a hit in Japan and the Middle East, but not well-known elsewhere.
