Shuri

Actor · Born September 21, 1990 (36) · Tokyo, Japan

Shuri is a Japanese actress. She is the daughter of actor Mizutani Yutaka and actress/singer Ito Ran. Trained in classical ballet and aspired to be a ballerina, she had to give up her dream because of injuries. It was after her dancing career was prematurely over that she started to seriously consider acting. She admitted that even though she had been interested in acting when she's young, she was originally reluctant to pursue it as a career for fear of living under the shadow of her parents. She made her debut during college and ended up dropping out to focus on acting. Shuri won the 42nd Japan Academy Award for Newcomer of the Year, for her role in "Love At Least". She is represented by Top Coat

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
