Yuna KUROSHIMA, the Japanese Charlize Theron, shows signs of character transformation through her monstrous performance in the movie “Natsume Arata’s Marriage”.

The movie “Natsume Arata’s Marriage,” which opened on September 6, drew approximately 87,000 viewers during its three-day run. The film is off to a good start with box-office earnings of over 120 million yen.

The film has attracted the attention of Yuna Kuroshima (27), who surprised the public by announcing her de facto marriage to Hio Miyazawa (30) in January of this year.

From a pure woman to the dirty role of a death-row inmate

Kuroshima became a household name with her role in the NHK TV series “Chimudo-don” that aired in the first half of 2010, and like this morning drama, most of the roles she has played so far have been those of “energetic and pure women with energy.

This time, however, Kuroshima plays a death-row inmate who murders three men and mutilates and dumps their bodies. This is a 180-degree drastic change from her previous roles, in which she plays a dirty character. Moreover, it is a very difficult role. Therefore, people on SNS are asking, “Is Kuroshima capable of playing such a daring role? I wonder if she is capable of playing such a role.

However, Kuroshima has managed to play the role of a serial killer with aplomb. The actor’s shaggy hair and cavity-ridden teeth, and his eerily smiling, monstrous performance left no shortage of admirers, even if they were a bit overwhelmed by his performance. A veteran film reporter commented on Kuroshima’s image change.
