Miko Mayama was born on August 15, 1939 in the USA. Mayama made several film and television appearances from the mid 1960s to the late 1970s.
Mayama had a brief relationship with Burt Reynolds and visited him in Georgia during the filming of Deliverance (1972). According to Burt Reynolds' autobiography, "But Enough About Me", she started as a Kabuki Theater player. They met when he stopped in Japan on his way to the Philippines to do Impasse (1969).

They lived together for four years before he left her for Dinah Shore.
