Yesterday started the dorama "Keishicho Shissonin Sosaka" on TV Asahi and apparently starring actor Sawamura Ikki(42) isn't the only one you should pay attention to. Young actress Mori Kanna (21), dubbed as the "younger sister" of Miyazaki Aoi, is making her prime time acting debut and the expectations are high.
Mori is signed at the same agency as Miyzaki and she is already sticking out for being one of only a few new actresses this season. She also had to compete against more than 2000 other young women in the audition to get this role. Last year she already gained herself some fans with her role as Hikari Natsumi in Kamen Rider Decade.
In Keishicho she's playing a female detective alongside Sawamura. Sawamura earned himself the nickname "ero baron" and Mori already had the chance to find out why. His dirty jokes and unique personality might be irritating for some, but for her it shouldn't be a problem. "She has nerves of steel and doesn't seem like a rookie at all," he praised her mental strength. Sounds like a great combination.
What kind of actress is she really? Well, she made her debut as a model during her 2nd year in junior high school and just started acting less than 2 years ago. That's also why she literally jumped for joy when she made it through the audition for a role in a prime time dorama, an official at her agency said. Further he added: "Mori wants to become a 'cool actress' like Yamaguchi Tomoko. She definitely doesn't have a timid personality and when she had to do some action scenes in Kamen Rider last year, she was like, 'If Jackie Chan can do it, I can do it too!" and put all her energy into her performances."
Next to her great personality she also has an excellent style and figure, no wonder since she started out as a model first. On the other hand she has traditional hobbies like making pilgrimages to all kind of temples. It's that odd kind of imbalance that might help her standing out in the future and make her as popular as her senpai Miyazaki Aoi.
