About me

I’m a French-Japanese actress, fully bilingual in both languages, with native pronunciation and no accent. I also speak fluent English and have experience performing in all three languages.

I grew up between cultures, which gave me a deep sensitivity to nuance, emotion, and identity — all of which fuel my acting. Whether I’m working on a subtle, introspective role or something more physical and expressive, I’m drawn to stories that explore complexity and human truth.

I’ve trained in both classical and contemporary acting, with a particular interest in screen performance, but also have experience on stage. I enjoy collaborating across cultures and disciplines, and I’m always looking for projects that challenge me and allow me to grow — not just as an actress, but as a person.

Because of my dual heritage, I often navigate in-between worlds. This “in-between” is where I feel most alive as an artist.

I’m currently based in Paris, available for projects in France, Japan, and internationally.
