== Biography == {{BLP sources|section|date=October 2025}} Michiko Evwana was born in [[Osaka Prefecture]], Japan, on December 8, 1974. She began playing the piano at the age of five, at which time she began to take interest in soul and jazz music. Minmi began her musical career in 1996, performing at rub-a-dub showcases and hip hop events in the clubs of Osaka. She also began to develop her own sound by making her own original tracks around this period. Minmi signed her first recording deal with [[JVC Records]], releasing the reggae song "[[The Perfect Vision]]" as her first single in August 2002. Minmi's first single became extremely popular, and was widely accepted and heavily rotated by as many as 20 FM radio stations. "[[The Perfect Vision]]," after gradually increasing in popularity, would eventually sell over 500,000 copies. Minmi contributed songwriting and vocals to two theme songs from the popular 2004 anime series [[Samurai Champloo]], including the main ending theme "Shiki no Uta".

In 2005, Minmi released her first soca-influenced song, "[[Summertime!!]]," as opposed to her regular reggae and hip-hop sound. Because of this event, she attended the [[Trinidad and Tobago Carnival]] in February 2006, performing on stage. In September, she was nominated for best new artist at the [[Reggae/Soca Music Awards]] in New York. Minmi attended the festival again in 2007, performing "[[Sha Na Na (song)|Sha Na Na (Japanese Wine)]]" with [[Machel Montano]].

In June 2007, it was suddenly announced that Minmi had married Wakadanna, a member of reggae group [[Shōnan no Kaze]], and was four months pregnant.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/entertainment/45877/|script-title=ja:MINMIと湘南乃風の若旦那が結婚|publisher=Oricon|language=Japanese|date=June 27, 2007|accessdate=November 11, 2010}}</ref> The two had first met in 2001 in Jamaica, and began dating soon after.<ref name=OriconNov /> In November she gave birth to her first child, a son.<ref name=OriconNov />
