Early Life

Yamagishi Riko was born on November 24, 1998 in Chiba, Japan.

She was a part of DSK Dancer's Club prior joining Hello Pro Kenshuusei.

2012-2014

In June 2012, Yamagishi joined Hello Pro Kenshuusei[1] after auditioning for the program.[2] She was officially introduced as a member on June 17 at the June 2012 recital alongside Nomura Minami.[3] Later that summer, she participated in the Morning Musume 11ki Member "Suppin Utahime" Audition alongside several other members of Hello Pro Kenshuusei, but failed.

Begining in 2013, Yamagishi began to take part in activites outside of Hello Pro Kenshuusei starting with the Winter 2013 Hello! Project concert tour, where she was a back-dancer for several performances. She then continued participating in every Hello! Project concert tour, as well as Soto Fest and the annual Hinatsuri Festival and Countdown Lives, as a trainee, until mid-2015.

After the conclusion of the winter Hello!Con, she participated in the stage play Nettai Danshi, which ran from February 7th to February 17, 2013, alongside Kaga Kaede.[4] On March 6th, she participated in a fanclub event for newcomers Ichioka Reina and Makino Maria.

Soon after, on October 5 a new webshow titled ~Onedari Entame!~ Hapi★Pure began airing. Hapi★Pure concluded on September 27, 2014, one year after it began airing.

In fall 2013, Yamagishi participated in Morning Musume's fall 2013 tour alongside several other trainees as a back-dancer. She was later chosen to be part of the opening and challenge act for Morning Musume's fall 2014 Budokan concert, S/mileage's summer 2014 Budokan concert, Berryz Koubou's fall 2014 Budokan Concert, and ℃-ute's spring 2014 concert tour, [5] ℃-ute no Hi concert at Nippon Budokan and spring 2015 concert tour alongside other selected trainees.

On April 29, 2015, it was announced that Yamagishi would be debuting in a new unit named Tsubaki Factory alongside Kishimoto Yumeno, Niinuma Kisora, Asakura Kiki, Ogata Risa and Tanimoto Ami. Yamagishi's response regarding the new unit:

That I entered the Kenshuusei and then am going to debut in such short fashion makes me nervous, but when I was chosen, I was also surprised. To think that all of those that have supported me until now will be with me forever makes me happy. In Hello! Project there are a lot of groups with varied personalities, I want us to become a group that can reliably put out our personality for everyone to see.[6]

On August 8, it was announced that Yamagishi would be the leader of Tsubaki Factory.
