edit

Nagashima was born on November 23, 1991, in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan.[1] Her father is Akihiro Nagashima, a former Japan national team soccer player and sports presenter.[2] Her mother gave her the name "Yūmi" because she was a big fan of the singer, Yumi Matsutoya (called Yūmin among her fans).[3] She has a younger brother. On January 17, 1995, the Great Hanshin earthquake that occurred when she was three years old, completely destroyed her paternal grandparents' house. The announcer Chisa Takeda was her junior in elementary school.[4]

She graduated from Kwansei Gakuin University after studying in the Faculty of Sociology. She belonged to the cheerleading club while in high school.[5] On August 9, 2010, she was elected the first Kobe Wedding Queen.[6] She also won the Grand Prix of Miss Campus of Kwansei Gakuin in 2011.[7] From 2012 to 2013, she was a news reporter for Ohayo Asahi Doyobi desu (Good morning Asahi, it is Saturday) on Asahi Broadcasting while she was a university student.

After the announcer examination, she was appointed to TV Asahi and Fuji TV, and joined Fuji TV in April 2014.[8] The announcer Masato Omura joined the company at the same time. In April 2016, she became the seventh female main presenter of Mezamashi TV.[9]

On March 3, 2021, she married a man one year older than her, who worked for the Fuji Television Network Information Production Bureau.[10] She announced her marriage live on Mezamashi TV the next day.[11]

On March 29, 2021, she was appointed as the main presenter of Mezamashi 8 with Shōsuke Tanihara. She left Mezamashi TV, where she had been the female main presenter for five years from 2016.[12]

On March 31, 2023, she left Mezamashi 8, effectively ending her role as morning female main presenter after eight years.[13] After she left, she opened her YouTube account, with some videos where her father appeared.
