Bonnie Pink (born 16 April, 1973 in Kyoto, Japan, real name Asada Kaori) is a Japanese singer.
She made her first album in 1995 titled "Blue Jam". It introduced her unique style of music that has been defined as an off-beat mix between Jazz, Blues, Pop, and Rock. Her idol is Aimee Mann.
The name Bonnie Pink has a debatable origin. The popular belief is that Bonnie derives from the story of Bonnie and Clyde and the color of her hair was pink during her first few years as a performer. However, Miss Asada has made several references on interviews and in her lyrics that she does not want to be a 'good girl'. That might indicate that the name comes from a character of a Martin Amis book, a prostite of the same name, Bonnie Pink.
