Hanashi Ono (26) will play the lead role in the drama “Watashi no shiranai me” (Nippon Television Network Corporation), which will start airing in January ’25, for the first time. She will play the role of Mei Haneda, a wedding planner who wakes up and loses her memory for a year and is suspected of murder. She will also appear in next year’s NHK historical drama “Belabo,” in which she plays the role of an important oiran (courtesan).

He is also scheduled to appear in the NHK historical drama “Bembo” next year. “There are actors who sometimes appear in dramas and movies and become so successful that you always see them somewhere every season, although the characters they play do not have much impact. I think Mr. Ono is one of those types.

Ono’s artistic career dates back to 2006, when he was 8 years old and made his debut as a child actor in the drama “The Life of Matsuko, the Worst of the Worst” (TBS). Two years later, in 2008, Ono made her film debut in the movie “The Glorious Team Batista,” and in May of the same year, she appeared in a minor role in “CHANGE” (Fuji TV), a Tsuki 9 drama series starring Takuya Kimura (52). A representative of the movie company that cast Ono as a child actor commented on his impression of Ono at the time: “I think she was in junior high school at the time,

I think she was in junior high school at the time, but at the audition, everyone unanimously decided on her immediately. She had something shining in her, and I was convinced that she would definitely sell.

I was convinced that she was going to be a big seller,” he said. His prediction proved correct, and Ono’s breakthrough continued. In 2004, she made her stage debut in “August: Osage County,” and in October 2009, she played her first starring role in a feature film, “Pretenders,” which was released in October.

Ono plays a 17-year-old girl who leads a reclusive life. She cried and screamed in front of a large crowd and even stripped naked in front of a man. Her performance as a girl with a straight heart who smiles like a child but is somewhat twisted as she grows into an adult was highly acclaimed by film magazine reporters.

Sisters with Hana Kuroki?

Then, later that year, she made her first appearance in a morning drama in the NHK television series “Come Come Everybody,” which brought her to the public’s attention.’ At the Japan Academy Awards in 2011, he received high praise for his role as a young animator prodigy in the movie “Haken Anime,” released in 2010, for which he won the Best Newcomer Actor award. Although his career is truly illustrious, as mentioned in the comment at the beginning of this article, it is not so clear whether he has left a strong impression on viewers’ memories.

On social networking sites, people sometimes ask, “Who is that actress who looks like Kuroki Hana? “Hana Kuroki and Hanashi Ono look alike, but are they sisters? Some have called her the “post-Kuroki Hana” actress, but she has not been able to land a leading role in a drama series. However, she has not been able to find a leading role in dramas. Indeed, she has played a variety of roles, all of which she has performed with ease, indicating that her range of acting is as broad as Kuroki’s. Ono has played a variety of roles in dramas. What is the reason why Ono is used in so many dramas?

Ono has always had a reputation for her acting ability,” said Kuroki. It is true that she is a rather inconspicuous actress, but that is a good thing. I think Japanese boys tend to prefer flirtatious women, which is especially true of idols. But Ms. Ono is not flirtatious. Recently, Sairi Ito (30) and Yumi Kawai (23) have been doing the same thing, but they are actresses who are able to shine in a “supporting role” and keep to themselves. In the past, actresses such as Yuko Tanaka (69), Kumiko Akiyoshi (70), and Kaori Momoi (73), who came to be known as great actresses, never flirted.

On the contrary, they even put up a fight with them. The fact that the number of works in which she has appeared is increasing probably means that more and more people understand how good Ms. Ono is. Dramas tend to use prominent actors who have appeared in many commercials or are popular idols. However, this is not the way to create a good work. I think that unless you cast an actor who fits the role, the film will not be successful.

Conversely, Ono’s ability may have changed the perception of the drama production side.

Ono’s ability may have changed the perception of the drama production side. Ono’s breakthrough will not stop in the next 25 years.
