Career

She began her music career in 1997 as a teenage idol singer in the J-pop groups Folder and Folder 5. Although she made her acting debut in 1997 with Rebirth of Mothra II, she did not start acting regularly until 2005. She appeared in manga-based thriller film Death Note (2006) and the well-received Love Exposure (2008), a comedy-drama/art film directed by Sion Sono. Her performance in the latter brought her critical attention and won her several awards.[1]

Since then she has had starring roles in Kakera: A Piece of Our Life (2009) and Sawako Decides (2010), written and directed by Yuya Ishii, whom she subsequently married in late 2010.[2] They divorced in 2016.[3] She has also appeared in the music video for Mondo Grosso's song "Labyrinth" (2017), which has over 23 million views on YouTube as of April 2020.[4]
