Misae in “Tora ni Tsubasa” and Shinako in “Lie Unraveled”…Rin Kataoka’s chilling charm that shines through her individuality even on YouTube

The crazy Rin Kataoka

Perhaps due to the poor reception of the NHK TV series “Omusubi”, some people are nostalgic for the previous work “Tora ni Tsubasa”. Since the drama had many notable “supporting” actors, their latest works are also attracting attention. One of them is Kataoka Butei (21).

She plays the dual roles of “Misae Moriguchi,” the daughter of a prominent local figure, and “Miyuki Namiki,” Misae’s daughter, with whom the main character, Torako Inozume, has a relationship during her assignment in Niigata. Misae, a high school student, is aiming for Tokyo University, but at the same time she is manipulating her classmates behind their backs and getting them involved in crimes. She is a high school girl with a dark heart, always unsure of what she is thinking.

Kataoka’s portrayal of Misae, who exudes the eerie atmosphere of a psychopath, was well-received, and her monstrous performance attracted a great deal of attention on SNS, with the word “Misae” trending as “Misae scary” and “Misae what will happen to her” and the like.

She appeared in the fourth and fifth episodes of the drama “Lie Unraveling Rhetoric” (Fuji TV), which is currently airing. She plays a mysterious woman named Shinako who lives in a “doll house. Dressed in a red kimono with her hair in a bun, she looks like a Japanese doll that often appears in “psychic phenomena. The last scene of the drama, in which the previously quiet Shinako suddenly changes her appearance and becomes angry, has been a shock to many viewers on SNS, who are fascinated by Kataoka, saying things like, “Kataoka Rin-chan is beautiful,” and “We get to see the crazy Kataoka Rin again.

Kataoka is a newcomer who just made his acting debut in 2010, but before that, he was well known in a certain “world.

In 2009, the year before his debut, while still a student at an international school in Gunma Prefecture, he opened a TikTok page to “let the world know about my existence,” and in no time his followers grew and he became a “celebrity. Eventually, she caught the attention of an entertainment agency, and more than 20 agencies tried to scout her. Eventually, she joined the entertainment agency “Flame,” but she continued to live in her hometown of Gunma until she graduated from school.

What is her sensibility that shines through on YouTube… …

She continues to use social networking sites, and has about 230,000 followers on TikTok and 130,000 followers on Instagram.’ In October 2010, she opened an official YouTube channel and edits her own videos.

For example, in one video, Kataoka, who says he wants to get a driver’s license and buy a regular car, goes to look at cars, but for some reason, his father introduces him to a collector of vintage and racing cars. By the way, Kataoka is not familiar with cars at all. When he sees a yellow “Enzio Ferrari,” he is delighted, saying, “It looks like a pikachu,” and when he sees the symbol of a rampaging horse on the Ferrari’s steering wheel, he describes it as “a horse in a car.

When he saw a “Porsche 906” used for endurance racing, he was excited and said, “It looks like a car that runs in space,” and compared a “Ford GT40” to “a rockabilly man’s blue shoes!　Even vintage car enthusiasts will be impressed.

The unique social networking site has become a topic of conversation every time it is posted, and people involved in TV dramas and movies have taken notice of the site.

She posts her daily life on SNS, but you can see her ‘real face’ and her relaxed atmosphere is very soothing. It is not an exaggeration to say that you will instantly become a fan. She also makes unique contributions on X, and I am amazed at her writing ability. More and more directors and producers are interested in using her because they are fascinated by the gap between the mysterious girl on screen and the mysterious girl in the movie.

Transparent and strangely sexy

In addition, Kataoka’s father often appears in his X, and this father is truly unique. His father, who used to be a designer for a major American wheel company, once moved from Gunma to Tokyo when he was young to become a rock musician, but he quit and lived on the streets because his direction did not match that of the record company. His X post is also unique, and Kataoka’s individuality is probably due to the DNA he inherited from his father. After all, he and his father call each other several times a day.

So what is his reputation as an actor?

He said, “It is still an open question, but I think I got into my role in the morning drama well. In “Lie Unraveling Rhetoric,” he played the same kind of eerie role, but he played a different character very well. She is eerie yet transparent, and has a mysterious sex appeal despite her young age. Her presence does not have a strong impact, but she has a creepy charm that sticks in your memory. I think she is an actress who makes a strong impact on viewers with the roles she plays. This is her charm and perhaps her strength. I think she will become a long-lasting actress like Sayaka Yamaguchi (44) from the same agency.

She has already stood out from other actresses her age, and there is no doubt that she will become even more “interesting” in the future.
