Nana Seino is a Japanese actress who was born on October 14, 1994. Among many other TV and film appearances, she has played Sunmi in Tokyo Tribe, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi in the TV Asahi version of Kuroyanagi's autobiography Totto-Chan: The Little Girl at the Window, and Yuko Komiya in the 98th NHK asadora Half Blue Sky.
Early life and education
Seino was born in Inazawa, Aichi, Japan on October 14, 1994. She began her career in show business in 2007 as an exclusive model for the girls' fashion magazine Pichilemon. Seino traveled from Aichi to Tokyo alone when he was 15 years old, eventually graduating from Japan Arts High School. She admired Milla Jovovich after seeing Resident Evil and quickly became a student of Tak Sakaguchi, an action choreographer and performer.
Career
Seino debuted as Momoka Kurakano in the Tokyo Broadcasting System Television adaptation of Bisco Hatori's manga title Ouran High School Host Club in 2011. She successfully auditioned for the role of Sunmi in the 2014 Sono Sion action film Tokyo Tribe, a "hip-hop musical" about warring Tokyo gangs adapted on Santa Inoue's manga series, after minor roles in two films. While Variety's Dennis Harvey described Sunmi as a "secretive stranger" who becomes "an unstoppable killing machine when mistreated," Martin Tsai of the Los Angeles Times suggested that Sunmi's only reason for being in the film was "to flash her undergarment every time she does a roundhouse kick that inadvertently lifts up her skirt." Then came a second supporting role as Mari in the Shusuke Kaneko film Danger Dolls. Seino was named Best Newcomer at the 36th Yokohama Film Festival for her efforts in Tokyo Tribe and Danger Dolls. Later that year, while playing the supporting role of Kanna Seki in the Fuji TV drama Lovely Choice Taxi (TAXI, Sutekina Sen Taxi), Seino turned 20.
The following year, Seino starred as Ai in Mamoru Oshii's bullying revenge film Nowhere Girl (, Tokyo Mukokuseki Shjo), as well as supporting roles in the TV Tokyo drama Love Theory (LOVE, Love Riron), the TBS adaptation of the manga series Knodori, the TBS police drama Ouroboros, and Yoshihiro Nishimura's historical film The Ninja War of Torakage (, Torakage). In 2016, she starred as Rain Woman in the short 4DX horror film Rain Woman (, Ame Onna) and as Jaku in Kankur Kud's afterlife comedy Too Young To Die! (TOO YOUNG TO DIE! , Wakakushite Shinu! (Too Young To Die).
Totto-Chan!, the 2017 TV Asahi adaptation of Kuroyanagi's autobiographical novel Totto-Chan: The Little Girl at the Window, was Seino's first main role in a television series. That same year, she starred as Mitsu, a mentally ill prostitute who falls in love with a guy with cerebral palsy, in the film Perfect Revolution (, Pafekkuto Reboryushion). Seino starred as Yuko Komiya in numerous episodes of the 98th NHK asadora Half Blue Sky in 2018, and as Riko Akasaka in the NTV adaptation of the Hiroyuki Nishimori manga serial Ky Kara Ore Wa!!
