Yui Yokoyama

Yokoyama's first attempt to join AKB48 or a sister group was for SKE48's second generation, but her audition was unsuccessful. She later passed the auditions with AKB48, and became a ninth-generation kenkyusei (trainee) member on September 20, 2009.^{[citation needed]} She was the first of her generation to be promoted, which took place at AKB48 Tokyo Matsuri on October 10, 2010, and where she became a member of Team K.^[6]

In 2011, she secured her first participation on an AKB48 single title track by placing 19th in the AKB48 general elections. Her first A-side single was "Everyday, Katyusha".

In 2012, she placed 15th in the AKB48 general elections.

In the AKB48 Tokyo Dome Concert in 2012, it was announced that Yokoyama would join NMB48 and therefore hold a concurrent position between AKB48's Team A and NMB48.^[7] In the same year in November, she sang on the A-side for NMB48's sixth single "Kitagawa Kenji".^[8]

In 2013, she placed 13th in the AKB48 general election and third in its rock-paper-scissors tournament. On April 28, 2013, NMB48 revoked her concurrency and she remained in AKB48.^[9]

On December 8, 2014, it was revealed that Yokoyama would succeed Minami Takahashi's job as the General Director of AKB48 after Takahashi's leaving.^[10] With the graduation of Minami Takahashi scheduled on April 8, 2016, she became the second "Soukantoku" on December 8, 2015, during the 10th anniversary stage of AKB48 Theater.

On March 31, 2019, Yokoyama stepped down from the position of General Manager and became a regular member. Mion Mukaichi officially assumed the title the next day. In November 2019, Yokoyama acted in Battles Without Honor and Humanity: On'na-tachi no Shitō-hen, a stage adaptation of the Battles Without Honor and Humanity yakuza film series. She played the role of Shozo Hirono, based on Bunta Sugawara's original portrayal.^[11]

On December 16, 2020, Yokoyama's official website, named "YuiFan's", was launched.^[12]

On September 12, 2021, Yokoyama announced her graduation from AKB48.^[13] Her graduation concert was held on November 27, 2021, at Pacifico Yokohama^[14] and her final performance at the AKB48 Theater was held on December 9, 2021.^[15]

She enjoys listening to music, she can play the drums and do cartwheels and handstands, and is 158 cm (5 ft 2 in)
