Biography

September 13, 1996 · Kanagawa, Japan

5′ 4¼″ (1.63 m)

She is able to figure skate and ballet dance.

[why she got into acting] My father told me, "You know, if you run after two hares you will catch neither." He encouraged me to choose between figure skating or a career in entertainment, telling me that it wouldn't be good to pursue either of them half-heartedly. I had also been thinking to narrow it down to one, so after my father's advice, I was able to make up my mind.

[watching herself act] To tell you the truth, I'd rather not watch them because I start thinking too much about how I can't act, about how I could have done this or that better, so my perspective on my own performance can become very negative. Although, I know it's probably not healthy,

[types of roles she looks for] Most of the roles I am given are usually ones that I would never choose by myself and I think they are based off images of me held by others. Personally, I would like to try roles that are far from who I truly am because I would have to do a lot of research in order to portray the role to my best ability - and the harder it is, the more I have to study. And for me, that makes it all the more fun.
