Ayaka Imoto

Description
Ayaka Imoto is a Japanese actress and model who began her career after winning the 15th All-Japan National Beauty Contest in 2017. Born in Kyoto Prefecture on October 23, 2003, she is affiliated with the talent agency Oscar Promotion. Her acting debut followed shortly after her pageant win, with a guest appearance in the medical drama Doctor-X: Surgeon Michiko Daimon in late 2017.

Imoto's career is primarily built on live-action television and film roles. She has appeared in a variety of Japanese dramas, including the NHK taiga drama Kirin ga Kuru, where she portrayed Oichi, and series such as The Private Banker. However, she is best known for her starring role as Sakura Igarashi in the 2021-2022 tokusatsu series Kamen Rider Revice. In this series, she played the protagonist's younger sister, who transforms into the heroine Kamen Rider Jeanne. This character was central enough to her career that she reprised the role in the spin-off series Kamen Rider Jeanne & Kamen Rider Aguilera with Girls Remix and several feature films, including Kamen Rider Revice The Movie: Battle Familia.

While primarily an on-screen actress, her role in the Kamen Rider franchise has extended to voice work. Imoto provided the voice for her character, Sakura Igarashi, in the 2022 anime spin-off short series, It's Greatest! Revice Anime: Yukemuri Paradise A Go! Go!. This performance as the voice of Sakura Igarashi in an animated format represents a notable instance of her voice acting work, directly tied to her most prominent live-action role. Her contributions to the Kamen Rider Revice series also included performing an insert song, "Go with the flo," alongside her co-stars Kentaro Maeda and Wataru Hyuga.
