Erika Umeda (æ¢ ç° ããã Umeda Erika, born on May 24, 1991 in Minami-ku, Yokohama, Japan) was a member of the J-pop group °C-ute, under Hello! Project. She was also a member of ZYX along with Momoko Tsugunaga, Mari Yaguchi, Maimi Yajima, Megumi Murakami, and Saki Shimizu.
In 2002, Umeda successfully passed the Hello! Project Kids Audition along with fourteen other girls. Eight were chosen for Berryz Kobo with the intention of rotating the girls around. The idea was eventually dropped, and °C-ute was formed.
On August 1, 2009, it was announced on the Hello! Project website that Umeda was scheduled to graduate from °C-ute on October 25, 2009, the last day of their concert tour.[1]
