Biography

Ishida has worked as a model since childhood. In 2012, she was admitted as a 26th generation student of Actor's School Hiroshima. While a student, she became a member of the idol groups peony and MAX♡GIRLS managed by the school.[1][2] That year, she also won the Grand Prix in the Fairies NEXT auditions, organized by Rising Production.[3]

On March 19, 2017, Ishida passed the audition for STU48's first generation. She graduated from ASH on March 20.[4]

In June 2018, Ishida ranked #99 in the AKB48 Senbatsu Sousenkyo, being one of only two STU48 original members to rank in, the other being Yumiko Takino (Nana Okada, who ranked fifth, is concurrently an AKB48 member). In October, she joined the STU48 subunit Charming Trip, which focuses on travel and beauty, and was later appointed its leader following the departure of previous leader Yuri Torobu from the group.[5]

On September 15, 2019, the STU48 management launched an event to commemorate Ishida and Takino's inclusion in the lineup for AKB48's 56th single, "Sustainable": Ishida would start a Twitter account and Takino an Instagram account, and their combined follower count must exceed that of the STU48 Twitter account (87,276 followers on that day) by October 31, or the two accounts would be deleted. The challenge was successfully completed, and other STU48 members were granted their own official Twitter accounts as reward.[6]

In October 2019, Yamaguchi Broadcasting aired the television program STU48 Furusato Senden LABO (STU48 ふるさと宣伝LABO, "STU48 Hometown Promotion LABO"), which featured Ishida and Takino's visit to Indonesia as Setouchi Region tourism ambassadors.[7]

On January 24, 2020, Ishida held her first solo concert at Tokyo Dome City Hall.[8] In March, she hosted Hataraku Ishida Chiho, a Hulu Japan variety miniseries about part-time jobs, which ran for four episodes.[9]

On July 7, Ishida announced that she has signed to Wild Planet, a section for actors and actresses within the agency Twin Planet, with the intention to pursue acting in addition to her current activities.[10]
