- Entirely made in CGI. She has Maeda Atsuko's eyes, Itano Tomomi's nose, Shinoda Mariko's mouth, Oshima Yuko's hair and body, Takahashi Minami's outline, Watanabe Mayu's eyebrows and Sasaki Yukari's voice.
- She was announced as a new AKB48 member, that impressed Aki-P in a NMB48 audition. She was featured in Weekly Playboy and appeared in a commercial for Ezaki Glico. On June 19, 2011, it was finally admitted that Eguchi Aimi was a fake, but her profile is still on AKB48 official site.

- Sasaki Yukari performed as Eguchi in live performances.
