Japanese actress born in 1991, she gained recognition for her role in Hirokazu Kore-eda's acclaimed film "Nobody Knows" (2004), where she played the character of Kyoko. This role earned her and the ensemble cast the Best Actor award at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival. Known for her naturalistic acting style, she has since maintained a low profile, with limited public appearances and roles, focusing on personal pursuits outside the film industry.
