So create a unix account for that user...
adduser miyuki

You could try mapping that user to another local (unix) user if you
don't want to add miyuki as a local unix user.
Also, have you told samba where the domain controller (doing
network logons) is located? Otherwise, you may need to use
security=domain to get it to work if you are not using a network
logon server.
All this is documented in the man pages and the faqs at samba.org.
