Yamaguchi made her debut in Paris in 1972.[2] She went on to work in New York City and other international cities. Newsweek Magazine named her one of the world's top six fashion models in 1977.[1][2] That year, she was featured on the cover of Steely Dan's Aja album.

Yamaguchi went on to continue her career as a film and theater actress, as well as a costume designer.[2]

Yamaguchi died, aged 57, on August 14, 2007, of acute pneumonia.[2]

gollark: Agnostic is "don't know if god or not", not "theism but unsure about exact details".
gollark: I'm in the "there's no proof there's no god but it should probably be treated like any other claim we don't have good evidence for i.e. thought of as false" camp, which probably has a name.
gollark: You *know* there's no god, somehow.
