Rikako Sasaki (佐々木 莉佳子 Sasaki Rikako?, born May 28, 2001 in Kesennuma, Miyagi, Japan) is a Japanese idol singer and actress. She is a member of the Japanese idol girl group Angerme, after having been a part of Hello Pro Kenshūsei.
Sasaki was born on May 28, 2001 in Kesennuma, Miyagi to a Japanese father and Filipino mother. On March 11, 2011, the city of Kesennuma was hit by the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, forcing Sasaki and her family to evacuate; this experience prompted her to join SCK GIRLS, a benefit idol group formed of girls whose lives were affected by the disaster. She and her family resided in Tokyo as of April 2013.
On October 4, 2014, Sasaki was chosen as one of the members of Angerme's 3rd generation, alongside fellow Kenshūsei Mizuki Murota and Maho Aikawa.
