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.
