Sayaka Araki (荒木 さやか Araki Sayaka, born December 22, 1984) is a Japanese fashion model, disc jockey, and businesswoman. She is best known for her stint as a model for the Koakuma Ageha cabaret-gyaru fashion magazine. She was a major contributor to Koakuma Ageha for 4 years and 10 months, since the magazine's very early days. She left Koakuma Ageha in 2011, and has since become a main model for its sister magazine Ane Ageha.
Araki was born in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. She lived in Kyoto until she moved to Tokyo to learn makeup art and nail art. She graduated from technical schools specialized in these arts, but entered nightwork at the age of 19 when she began working at a hostess bar.
She began fashion modeling at the age of 21 after being approached to model by Koakuma Ageha's editorial board in 2005 when she was a hostess at a Kabukicho hostess bar. Araki moved to Roppongi in 2006 and began working at Roppongi hostess bar R, under her new genji name "Riona Aihara". She had since worked for R by 2008 when she retired from the nightwork. Her "graduation from the night" was featured in Koakuma Ageha for the November 2008 issue.
Araki started a professional career as a disc jockey under the stage name "DJ Alucky" (DJ A☆LUCKY), releasing a CD in 2009 when she also launched her own fashion brand "GRS". She began performing at various night clubs all over Japan, and even made a collaboration with Tetsuya Komuro, at Avex's 2009 house music event House Nation Fiesta where the attendees included May J., Tomoyuki Tanaka, Yasutaka Nakata, Ami Suzuki, Shanadoo, Maynard Plant, among others.
