Miori Ichikawa (市川 美織 Ichikawa Miori?, born February 12, 1994 in Saitama Prefecture) is a member of Team BII within the Japanese idol group NMB48. She is also known for her "Fresh Lemon" character, often spotted donning clothing with lemon motifs or spouting her signature catch-phrase, "I want to be a fresh lemon".
Ichikawa debuted in the entertainment industry under Stardust Promotion in 2005, as a member of the idol group "Power Age". After parting from the group during April 2006, she transferred over to Box Corporation, and in 2008, she became one of Office Fukuta's models.
In March 2010, Ichikawa passed AKB48's tenth generation audition, consequently becoming one of several research student candidates—and later, on June 12, a full research student—under AKS. On June 19, she made her debut in the theatre as Yuka Masuda's understudy during AKB48 Team B's "Theatre no Megami". Alongside nine other research students, Ichikawa was appointed for the “Kaspersky Lab Internet Security 2011“‘s promotion in “AKB48 Kaspersky Laboratory” on September 7, which would then be led by fellow group member Atsuko Maeda. On March 10, 2011, she became part of a collaborated unit funded by the magazine Young Jump, "YJ7".
Ichikawa was promoted to a full member of AKB48 on May 29 of 2011, during a handshake event at Yokohama Stadium for "Everyday, Kachuusha!". Only days later, in the midst of “‘Minogashita Kimitachi e’ 〜AKB48 Group Performances〜” in Tokyo Dome City Hall on June 6th, the formation of Team 4 was announced alongside their first performance, a revival of Himawarigumi’s first stage, “Boku no Taiyou”—with Ichikawa being amongst the ten founding members. She ranked number 39 with 4,928 votes in AKB48’s 22nd Single General Election, thereby becoming a part of the Under Girls. Her labels were announced to be switched from AKS to Production Ogi on March 25th of 2012, during the third day of “Tanomuzo, Katayama Buchou! in Saitama Super Arena”.
