Aoi Miyazaki
Known for
Born in Tokyo in 1985, Aoi Miyazaki began acting as a child and became one of the defining faces of 2000s Japanese cinema. Isao Yukisada's Eureka (2000) revealed her at fourteen and won her wide festival recognition, while Nana (2005) confirmed her mass popularity as the naive Nana Komatsu. Her turn in the year-long NHK Taiga drama Atsuhime (2008) drew huge audiences, and Nobuhiro Yamashita's Sway (2006) and Hirokazu Kore-eda's Our Little Sister (2015) showed her control in more intimate registers. She has stayed a quietly luminous presence, choosing character over scale.
