Biography

Oshima grew up in Mibu, Tochigi Prefecture, and was born in Yokohama. Her mother was born in Hokkaido. Oshima is half Japanese, half American. Six months after her family moved to Mibu, her parents split. Oshima lived with her father and saw her mother only once after the divorce. She signed with Central Kodomo Gekidan as a young performer in 1996. In 2005, she debuted as a junior idol in Doll's Vox, a short-lived idol project produced by The Alfee frontman Toshihiko Takamizawa. She was chosen from a pool of 12,000 hopefuls to join the AKB48 at their second audition to establish Team K in 2006. She started working full-time with the group in April, after it debuted with the single "Aitakatta" in October 2006.

On August 24, 2012, AKB48 announced a squad reorganisation and named Oshima leader of squad K.

On December 31, 2013, Oshima announced her departure from the group on Kohaku Uta Gassen. "Mae shika Mukanee," her final single as a member of AKB48 and as the centre performer, was released on February 26, 2014. On June 9, 2014, she graduated from AKB48 with a performance at the AKB48 theatre.

On July 29, 2021, Oshima revealed her marriage to Scarlet co-star and actor Kento Hayashi.  On January 5, 2023, she gave birth to their first child.
