Biography, personal life

She graduated from Akashi-shi Uozumi Middle School, Hyogo Prefectural Government High School, and Kobe College Human Science Department. She had the experience of being a Sun TV Girl in her college days. Kansai Telecasting Corporation announcer Natsumi Sugimoto is a classmate of her college age.

Joining Asahi Broadcasting Corporation (ABC)

She joined in 1997. Her nicknames are and (the title of the number that had previously appeared in the Kansai is fixed as a nickname). She synchronised with Naoko Takano and Yuko Hashizume.

She was a live female announcer relaying the live broadcast of the 1998 National High School Baseball Tournament Championship (the second relay after television relaying to Tomomi Sekine, the Akae is the first radio broadcast).

Her catch phrase ''Gokigen! Burannyu'' is "to grab a microphone and work with your mouth".

In a rumour that she was ignorant at ''5-Ji ni Muchū!'' and she was ignoring the call of Etsuko Komiya at the Asahi Broadcasting Corporation era, she was awaiting the manuscript thought that she appeared in the last person but she ignored the manuscript because she was called at the beginning and she had no manuscript and she ignored the rumour it was.

Transfer to Tokyo

Since 30 June 2003, she was in charge of moderating TV Asahi's '' Super Morning'', she was transferred to the Tokyo branch office (concurrently serving as the organisational department announcement department and the Tokyo branch organisation department).

Since entering in 2005, ABC's own work such as ''Geinōjin Kakuzuke Check!'' (''Ninki-sha de ikou!'' in the programme reconstruction period "revival special number), ''Futari wa Pretty Cure'' (movie version guest voice actor) also works in addition, she also served as a local caster in Montreal, where the TV Asahi relayed nationwide "FINA World Aquatics Championships 2005" venue.

Back to Osaka

On 31 March 2006, she exchanged ''Super Morning'' and replaced to TV Asahi announcer Maki Nomura. After that, she returned to ABC head office and returned to assistance as ''Ohayō Asahi Doyōbi desu'' which was appeared as assistant from 6 May 2006 on behalf of Wakako Takeda who got down for birth for the first time in three and a half years.

On 5 August 2006, VTR appeared in comments on Yuko Kotera who appeared beyond the station's fence as representative at Kansai 5 Bureau Female Announcer SP of Kansai TV's ''Nanbo De Nanbo''.

Once she came back to the announcer who worked at ABC head office, from October 2006 she was decided to be appointed as a caster (successor of Kayoko Miyata) of the TV Asahi-ABC co-production programme ''Sunday Project'' again, nationwide online she began regular appearances on programmes of. Meanwhile, she continued appearances to ''Ohayō Asahi Doyōbi desu'', while regularly appearing in the Osaka quasi-key station, she regularly appeared on live programmes of both Kanto and Kansai stations.

Freelance turn

She left ABC on 31 March 2007 and turned to freelance, and in April she returned to the host of ''Super Morning'' on weekday mornings. For that reason, she dropped off the regular programmes that she had (excluding ''Sunday Project'', ''Geinōjin Kakuzuke Check!'', etc.) and the activity base also moved to Tokyo. After free turnover, instead of belonging to the entertainment office, Akae herself established a private office and acts as a window herself. On 23 September, as a lifeline (telephone) of Soichiro Tahara who participated as a solver in the special edition of Fuji Television's '' Quiz $ Millionaire'', she played the first appearance of a programme other than TV Asahi series while making a video call.

In 2009 and 2010, she served as a sub-caster of the election special programme ''Senkyo Station'' of TV Asahi at the day of the national election campaign. ''Super Morning'' which Akae served as the host on 1 April 2011 celebrated the final round, but "Jōhō Mansai Live Show: Morning Bird!" of the successor programme which started broadcasting from 4 April after 3 days at that time, along with Shinichi Hatori, who was immediately after the freelance turnover, served as a general moderator. On 2 April 2012, she also served personality of TBS Radio's ''Tamao Akae: Tama Musubi'' (Mondays to Thursdays). In November 2013, she was appointed as a caller to the opposition statement by television caster, journalists and others against the State Secrecy Law that was being discussed at the National Assembly.

She tried the full marathon for the first time at the Kobe Marathon on 23 November 2014, and finished in 4 hours 59 minutes 12 seconds time. Although it was a shortcut for many years, since about spring of 2014, she began to stretch hair "to stop the hat worn by the marathon practice at the breeze, with hair tied up". In November 2014 it was a semi-long to the shoulder (since she never had been hanging down afterwards, it is unknown how long she extended it to length). However, in April 2015 she returned her hair to a short cut because she "can not lean back on the seat back". It is just after renewing the advertisement photograph of ''Morning Bird!'' to long hair one.

She is a fan of NHK's ''Asadora''. Since the Asadora main broadcast is a counterprogramme of ''Super Morning'', and later ''Morning Bird'', she was talking that she was watching with a re-air of daytime, during the morning wide-screen show. Since 12 April 2015, she served on Tokyo Broadcasting System's ''Kono Sa Ttenandesuka?'', and became her first regular programme on television other than ANN affiliates. On 25 September 2015, she made her final appearance in ''Morning Bird!''

Private life

On 23 November 2008, she submitted a marriage notification with the director of the TV Asahi Press Office, who is three years older, and got married and announced in the ''Super Morning'' broadcast on the 27th of the same month. In May 2009, they went to their wedding reception.

On 16 February 2017, Tokyo Broadcasting System's ''Tamao Akae: Tama Musubi'' live broadcast reported her first child pregnancy. On the same year of 30 March, she stepped down from ''Tamao Akae: Tama Musubi'', and entered maternity leave. On 27 July, she gave birth to her first child girl. She made a call appearance on ''Tama Musubi'' for the first time after birth on 22 August 2017. At that time, she was told that delivery was difficult due to two days of hardship, the course of postpartum etc. was told from Akae.

Some of her fans called her ''Fashion Monster'' because her taste in clothes are unusual .
