editHosokawa was born in Mutsu, Aomori Prefecture and lived in Etajima, Hiroshima Prefecture until the age of four. She then moved to Hawaii for a year to attend school there. She is the daughter of a rear admiral in the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.
She started posing for magazines in December 1990 as a bikini model. Soon afterwards she also started singing and acting in films.[citation needed]
