Japanese actress Arisa Nakano has made a name for herself on the international stage thanks to her intense and measured performances, which define her unique style in contemporary cinema.

She achieved global fame with her role as Yuki in Ryusuke Hamaguchi's *Drive My Car* (2021), the Oscar-winning film for Best International Feature Film.

Her ability to convey deep emotions with minimalism and naturalness was once again evident in *Evil Does Not Exist* (Aku wa Sonzai Shinai, 2023), also directed by Hamaguchi, in which she plays Hana and which won the Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival.

Nakano is recognized for her preference for complex and introspective roles, often characterized by quiet intensity and a deep connection with the environment and the moods of the characters.
