Asuka Hinoi (樋井明日香 Hinoi Asuka, born January 8, 1991) is a Japanese singer and leader of the J-Pop group Hinoi Team (HINOIチーム ,hinoi chīmu?).

Asuka's musical career began in 2002 when she was chosen with two other girls, Hikaru Koyama and Miho Hiroshige to form the group LOVE & PEACE. Their song, Drifter became the theme for the movie 'Dodge Go! Go! and the three girls even had minor roles in the movie. LOVE & PEACE, however, only released that one single.

In 2003, Asuka and Hikaru, along with Yuho Fujiwara, attempted to create a group again under Vison Factory's management. The girls were models for mezzopiano and nicola, but their debut never occurred.
