Asahi Inoue (井上 あさひ, Inoue Asahi, born 17 July 1981) is an announcer for NHK.
Inoue is from Tamano, Okayama Prefecture. After graduating from Okayama High School and Ochanomizu University, she joined NHK in 2004.[1] She was a manager of the baseball club while she was in high school.[2]
She served as Ambassador for Promotion of Digital Terrestrial Broadcasting for both the Tottori and Hiroshima stations. Since she is from Okayama Prefecture, she also had many opportunities to be appointed in regional programmes throughout the Chugoku region. She also served as an ambassador for terrestrial digital broadcasting and carried out public relations activities with female announcers of commercial stations. In an advert she wore a uniform of Hiroshima Toyo Carp and launched a terrestrial digital broadcasting promotional release. She professed that she is a Carp fan even in private.[1]
Her hobbies are playing with her two nephews and the playing the koto. She is good at remembering people's faces, but not good at remembering their names. Since she acquired a teaching license for primary schools and junior high schools,[3] she "I could have become an elementary school teacher if I did not become an announcer."
She usually listen to the radio often, and listens to the TBS Radio series Hikaru Ijūin: Shinya no Bakajikara on a timer and listens to it without hesitation. She even told Hikaru Ijūin himself that she is a fan of the programme.[4]
Everyone served as Ambassador for Promotion of Digital Terrestrial Broadcasting (ambassador of terrestrial digital broadcasting) in one of the workplaces. Boldface is the station that served as terrestrial digital ambassador.
