Actress | voice-over artist | Fight Director | Intimacy Coordinator
About
I am a Japanese actress, voice-over artist, fight director & intimacy coordinator. My pronouns are she/her.
Over the years, I’ve trained in a range of theatrical arts, honing my voice, my body and my understanding of this creative, challenging and changing industry. Rather than feeling like a "Jack of all trades", I choose to think of myself as a bowl of delicious ramen noodles (bear with me, it will make sense in a sec!).
In an authentic bowl of ramen noodles, you will find many different flavours, colours and textures that can sometimes seem in contrast to one another. Yet, in the hands of a skilled ramen chef, those different elements all come together in perfect harmony, giving you a warm, happy and satisfied feeling!
Whichever part of the industry I’m working in, whether stage, screen or behind the scenes, I will always be my authentic self and bring a ramen bowl full of artistry to my work! It’s my goal to leave all my clients and colleagues with that same happy, satisfied feeling.
When I am not in work mode, you’ll find me at home in Southend-on-Sea, exploring the local beach and parks with my partner JC and our feisty, curious daughter,
Iris-Mia.
