Ayano Ōmoto (大本 彩乃 Ōmoto Ayano, born 20 September 1988), nicknamed Nocchi (のっち), is a member of the Japanese electropop group Perfume.[1]
Ōmoto was born and raised in Hiroshima Prefecture, and attended Hiroshima Actors School with friends and current Perfume members Ayaka Nishiwaki and Yuka Kashino. She was placed in the advanced class for singing, as she was always interested in singing. In a letter she wrote to her "Future Me" she recalled her singing teacher telling her if she just wanted to sing and danced because she loved it she was not fit to be a singer As Said By Nocchi's Fan Forum. Nishiwaki and Kashino were still in the beginner class at this time, meeting Ōmoto secretly.[2]
She joined the group in 2001, replacing the original third member Yūka Kawashima, who left the group to focus on her schoolwork. In 2002, she appeared in an advertisement for Johnson & Johnson.[2]
