Nagisa Saito (齊藤 なぎさ, Saitō Nagisa; born July 6, 2003), is a Japanese actress, model, and former singer who came to prominence as a member of the idol group =Love from 2017 to 2023.

Early life

Saitō was born in the Asao-ku ward of Kawasaki on July 6, 2003. She has one older sister.[1] Saitō was bullied in elementary and junior high school, which she later said inspired her to become an idol so that she could give others in similar situations the strength that she got from the music of AKB48 during that time.[2]

Career

As a singer, Saitō became known as a member of the idol group =Love from 2017 until 2023, when she left the group to focus on her acting career.[3] She is also a regular model for the women's fashion magazine Larme.[4]
