Career

At the 31st Yokohama Film Festival in 2010, Ando earned the Best Supporting Actress award for Love Exposure, The Wonderful World of Captain Kuhio, and Tsumitoka batsutoka. She was also nominated for best supporting actress at the 4th Asian Film Awards in 2010 for her work in A Crowd of Three.

She made her television debut in Kiyoshi Kurosawa's 2012 drama Penance.

She's also been in movies including The Samurai That Night, Our Homeland, and Petal Dance.

Ando won the CUT ABOVE Award for Outstanding Performance in Film at the JAPAN CUTS: Festival of New Japanese Film in New York in 2015.

In 2018, Ando's performance as Nobuyo Shibata in director Hirokazu Kore-eda's Shoplifters was praised as "fantastic" and "the stand-out," with film critic Simon Abrams stating that "Kore-eda gave Andô her character's (strictly metaphorical) dance steps, but she realizes and owns every maneuver she was asked to (and then some).... Given how subtly difficult her dance steps are, this is no small feat."
