Yuumi Kawai or Yūmi Kawai (河合 優実, Kawai Yūmi, born December 19, 2000 in Tokyo) is a Japanese actress.[1][2]
Career
[edit]In 2019, Kawai made her acting debut in the short film Yodominaku, Yamanai.[1] In 2022, she was given the Best Newcomer award at the 43rd Yokohama Film Festival for her roles in A Balance and It’s a Summer Film.[3] She continued her success by winning Best Supporting Actress at the 44th Yokohama Film Festival for her roles in various other films,[4] including Plan 75, which earned her a nomination of Best Supporting Actress at the 16th Asian Film Awards.[5][6]
She has also been active in television drama acting, with roles in Extremely Inappropriate![7] and The Child Of God Murmurs[8] earning her two acting awards in 2024. In particular, audience of Extremely Inappropriate! (where Kawai plays a high-school student in the 1980s) noticed her resemblance to Momoe Yamaguchi when in-character, and proceeded to name Kawai "Momoe-chan from the Reiwa era".[9][10]
Personal life
[edit]Her hobbies are dancing, singing, drawing and playing basketball. When she was in third grade, she started going to the dance studio her younger sister was attending. Although she once stopped dancing when in middle school, she was in the dance club in high school. As she continued dancing, she realized the joy of "expressing" and decided to become an actress.[11]
Kawai is good friends with fellow actress Ai Mikami, as both of them attended Nihon University College of Art together.[12]
She respects Mirai Moriyama as both an actor and a dancer.[13]
