Yua Shinkawa Stars as One-Day Police Chief, Adorable as a New Mom

Yua-chan is so cute~

On December 1st, the winter traffic safety campaign began with the Saitama Prefectural Police, and on the following Monday, December 2nd, a year-end special alert ceremony was held at the large commercial area “Cocoon City” in Omiya, Saitama City.

At the beginning of the ceremony, Yua Shinkawa (30), an actress, appeared wearing the sash of “One-Day Omiya Police Chief” alongside several police officers.

“Shinkawa is from Higashimatsuyama, Saitama. She was a TV enthusiast as a child and, at the age of 12, applied to ‘Gekidan Tohei’ on her own to enter the entertainment industry. In 2010, she won the Grand Prix of ‘Miss Magazine 2010’ and has since worked as a model and actress.

In August 2019, she married a location bus driver. Her active approach to the relationship, which was referred to as the location bus marriage, earned her a lot of positive attention. In May 2023, she gave birth to her first child” (sports newspaper reporter).

At the ceremony, Shinkawa was seen adjusting the position of her hat, but once the event started, she continuously smiled and responded to photo requests. During a talk show, she patiently taught small children how to cross the street at the pedestrian crossing. Her demeanor resembled that of a mother with a one-year-old child, but she was not only adored by other mothers; the children themselves cheered her on with shouts of “Yua-chan, you’re so cute~.”

“In the January 2025 drama ‘Igarashi Couple: Fake Strangers’ (TV Tokyo), Shinkawa will play the role of a married woman who, after a separation from her husband, ends up working at the same place as him and pretends to be a stranger. Her co-star, playing the husband, is Eiki Shiono (29), who gained attention for his role as Emperor Ichijō in the NHK Taiga drama ‘Hikaru Kimi e.’ The pairing of these two has raised expectations for this romantic comedy” (TV magazine writer).

After the police chief role, she takes on the role of a married woman pretending to be someone else. We look forward to Shinkawa’s new drama.
