Biography

Yokoyama's initial audition for AKB48 or a sister group was for SKE48's second generation, however she was turned down. On September 20, 2009, she passed the tryouts for AKB48 and became a ninth-generation kenkyusei (trainee) member. She was the first of her generation to be promoted, which happened on October 10, 2010, during the AKB48 Tokyo Matsuri, and she became a member of Team K.

She finished 15th in the AKB48 general elections in 2012.

It was announced at the AKB48 Tokyo Dome Concert in 2012 that Yokoyama would join NMB48 and so maintain a concurrent role between AKB48's Team A and NMB48. She sang on the A-side of NMB48's sixth single "Kitagawa Kenji" in November of the same year.
