Shioli Kutsuna (born 22 December 1992 in Australia) is an Australian-born Japanese actress best known for her roles as Ran Mori in Shinichi Kudo's Written Challenge!, Minami Maho in Beck, Haru/Harumi in 125 Years Memory, and Yukio in Deadpool 2. In the Apple TV+ series Invasion (2021), she plays Mitsuki. She earned the Japan Academy Film Prize for Newcomer of the Year in 2014.
Kutsuna was born on December 22, 1992, in Killarney Heights, Sydney. She grew up in Australia until she was 14 years old, when she moved to Japan to seek a career as a model and actress.
Kutsuna earned the Judge's Prize in the 2006 Japan Bishjo Contest in 2006.
Her first major featured role came in 2009. In 7 Mannin Tantei Nitobe (70 000 People Detective Nitobe), she played Tsugumi Nitobe, an ordinary college student who has 70,000 friends on the Internet and solves complex cases by using their minds.
She was cast as Ran Mori in a special drama for the live-action adaptation of Detective Conan, a popular manga series penned by Gosho Aoyama, in 2011. She took over for Tomoka Kurokawa, who had previously played Ran in the 2006 and 2007 specials.
Kinema Junpo, a Japanese cinema magazine, named her Best New Actress of 2011 in 2012.
In 2015, she played Haru/Harumi in the Japanese-Turkish co-production 125 Years Memory in two key roles.
In the 2018 film Deadpool 2, she portrayed the mutant Yukio.
It was reported in 2022 that she will feature in Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding 2.
Kutsuna graduated from Horikoshi High School in 2011 with actresses Mayuko Kawakita and Riko Narumi.
For the sake of her career, she dropped out of college before beginning her third year in 2013. "It was really difficult for her to work while going to school," her agency stated. Her involvement in dramas made it difficult for her to attend classes. She accepted this and withdrew. She will now concentrate on her acting career."
Kutsuna is bilingual (English and Japanese). She formerly worked for Oscar Promotion.
