Asami Hayashi (林あさ美, born Asami Tanaka 1 September 1977) is a Japanese enka singer from Rokkashomura, Kamikita-gun, Aomori prefecture, Japan. She made her début in 1997 with "Tsuntsun Tsugaru" (「つんつん津軽」). Due to her - for an enka singer - unusual image, which included exposing her navel, she was dubbed "the Amuraa of the enka world" and "the original endoru", a portmanteau of the words "enka" and "aidoru". Hayashi has also been recording under the alias of Asami Mizumaki (水牧あさ実). .
