Miho Kanno (, Kanno Miho, born August 22, 1977) is a Japanese singer and actor. Kanchan () is her nickname. Her birthplace is Sakado, Saitama, Japan.
Kanno made her debut in 1992 as a member of the Sakurakko Club after passing the orientation for the TV variety show Sakurakko Kurabu. As a member of the Sakura Gumi, she began to actively engage in the group's second single, DO-shite. Kanno expanded her degree of work outside the variety show despite staying a regular in the show since the group permitted its members to pursue their own individual endeavours.
She made her Japanese television drama debut in Twins Kyshi (Twins Teacher) in 1993 and has since continued to feature in dramas. Kanno made her acting debut in the 1996 drama Iguana no Musume (The Iguana's Daughter). She then went on to play lead roles in a number of TV and live stage productions. Her role as a person attempting to overcome hearing problems while raising a family received the general public vote, which resulted in multiple accolades for her, including the ATP Award and the "Erando-ru New Talent" Award.
After Sakura Gumi disbanded, she made her solo debut on March 24, 1995, with "Koi o shiy!" (Let's Love!). Later that year, her debut album was released. She also took involved in photography modelling. Nudity, a book showcasing naked images taken by Miyzawa Masaaki, was released on her 20th birthday and became one of Japan's top 10 best-selling books in 1997.
Kanno, in addition to starring in dramas, is also involved in variety shows. She was a regular on the Fuji TV show Burogu Taipu in 2005. Kanno continues to sing despite her primary focus on acting.
Private life
Miho Kanno formalised her marriage with fellow actor Masato Sakai in Tokyo on April 2, 2013.
She and her spouse have two children, the eldest a boy born in 2015 and the younger a girl born in 2018.
