She studied at the University of Tsukuba, Ibaraki Prefecture, and later moved to Tokyo.
Her literary debut was Mado no Akari ("Light of Windows)" in 2005, for which she won the Bungei Prize.
Aoyama was awarded the 136th Akutagawa Prize for promising new writers of serious fiction (2006) for her novel Hitori Biyori (ひとり日和, "A Perfect Day to Be Alone").[1] The principal theme in the novel is the so-called freeters in Japan, the millions of young part-time workers, or jobless people prepared to do part-time work.[2]
