Like most of Japan’s idols, Nana made the transition from modelling into acting in 2004 and hasn’t looked back since. The first dorama I saw Nana acting was in the brilliant cheerleading series Dance Drill. She’s not afraid to go for controversial roles such as the incense movie I Love My Sister with Arashi frontman Jun Matsumoto. She was finally recognised by the viewers for her role in Proposal Daisakusen when she won a gong for Best Supporting Actress in the Nikkan Sports Drama Grand Prix awards. She hasn’t acted in a lot of doramas as I suppose she’s concentrating on her modelling career. I hope she gets more acting roles in the near future.
