For twelve years, Nakamura was a member of the popular Brazilian television show Domingão do Faustão, on TV Globo.

Nakamura left the show in April 2016 as she decided to shift her focus to acting.[1] In September 2016, Nakamura returned to the show as a judge.[2]

Nakamura starred as Hiromi in the Brazilian drama Sol Nascente, which contained a large sub-plot focused on Brazilian-Japanese society.[3]

Personal life

Nakamura, of Japanese descent, says that she experienced some ridicule and bullying in her youth because of her Asian heritage.[7] Nakamura became a mother at the age of 16.[7]

From 2014 to 2017, she has been in a relationship with Brazilian footballer Aislan.[8] The two did eventually get engaged in January 2017.[9]

In June 2017, the actress and her then eighteen-year-old son Juan Nakamura drew public attention during an appearance together at a shopping mall, where observers mistook the mother and son for a couple.[10]

In October 2017, Nakamura broke up with Aislan and called the wedding off.[9]
