Touko Yasuda (安田 瞳子, Yasuda Touko; 야스다 도우코; born October 9, 1970), known professionally as Kei Aran (安蘭 けい, Aran Kei), is a South Korean actress and former top star otokoyaku (an actress who plays male roles) of the Japanese Takarazuka Revue's Star Troupe. She joined the revue in 1991 and became the top star in 2007, five years after her classmates Sumire Haruno (the former top star of Flower Troupe) and Hikaru Asami (former top star of Snow Troupe) became top stars. She resigned from the company in April 2009 and is currently pursuing an acting career outside of the Revue. She is original from Konan, Shiga, Japan, and her nickname is "Touko". She is of Zainichi Korean descent and the first from such background to become the top star of the company. However, she is not the first non-Japanese actress to become a Takarazuka top star: Ran Ootori, who is of Chinese descent, was top star of Star Troupe from 1975 until 1979.
