Miho Yabe is a Japanese entertainer known primarily as a model, J-pop idol singer, and actress who also worked as an original creator for anime. Born on June 7, 1977 in Asahikawa, Hokkaido and raised in Eniwa, she began her career in entertainment in the early 1990s, making her singing debut on January 10, 1996. Her professional activities have included gravure modeling, music releases, and numerous television drama and film appearances from the mid-1990s through the 2010s.

Within the anime industry, Yabe is credited as the original creator for the erotic OVA Aoi Kokuhaku, released on February 25, 2003. The work is an adaptation of her own story of the same name, published by Shodensha, which draws from her personal experiences in the entertainment industry. The narrative follows two models, Riho Okamura and Ayumi Suzuki, whose careers become entangled with a production company president harboring obsessive and exploitative intentions. She also received original creator and planning credits for Suishou no Yoru: Aoi Kokuhaku yori, a related OVA released in the same year.

Yabe’s involvement as an anime creator appears limited to this specific property. Her broader public profile is that of a multimedia personality who worked across live-action television, film, and music rather than a dedicated manga artist or anime screenwriter. The Aoi Kokuhaku project is notable for being directly inspired by her own observations of the entertainment world, a rare instance of a model and idol crossing over to author an animated story based on that insider perspective. No further verified original anime or manga works by Miho Yabe have been documented.
