Career

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

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]

She respects Mirai Moriyama as both an actor and a dancer.[12]
