Nana Mori (森 七菜, Mori Nana; born August 31, 2001) is a Japanese actress.[1]

Biography

Mori was born in Osaka on August 31, 2001[2] and brought up in Ōita. In 2016, she was scouted by the talent agency ARBRE.[3] In 2019, she had a leading role for Makoto Shinkai's anime film Weathering with You.[4] In 2020, Mori rapidly gained recognition with a string of high-profile roles, including appearances in Shunji Iwai's film Last Letter and the NHK morning drama Yell. She had a first starring role in a television drama with A Warmed Up Love.[5] For her work during this period, she was honored with the Elan d'or Award for Newcomer of the Year.[6] In 2021, she signed a contract with SMA (Sony Music Artists).[3] In 2023, she took the lead role in the Netflix series The Makanai: Cooking for the Maiko House, directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda. In 2025, she challenged herself with her first-ever intimate scene in the film Kokuho.[7] She also had many English-language lines in the film Frontline: Yokohama Bay.[8] That year proved to be highly successful, with all four of her film appearances becoming box-office hits, each surpassing ¥1.5 billion in revenue.[9]
