Tae Kimura, a talented actress born in Tokyo, began her journey in the entertainment industry in 1990, initially taking on roles in theater productions. However, her passion for acting was sparked at a young age, inspired by the performances of Kirin Kiki in the TV drama Daidoroko No Sejo.
During her high school years, Kimura found herself drawn to the stage, but ultimately preferred to watch from the audience, a sentiment that would later influence her approach to acting. After her father's passing in 1992, she took on various part-time jobs, including stints in cafes, hotels, and restaurants, to support herself.
Kimura's university days saw her land a role in the stage production of Sailor Moon, marking the beginning of her steady ascent in the acting world. Her early career was marked by notable performances in films such as Hana and Alice, alongside Yû Aoi in 2004, and Hotaru No Hikari, featuring Haruka Ayase in 2010.
Kimura's breakout roles, however, came with her portrayal of Sadako in the horror serials Ringu and Rasen. Her versatility as an actress was further showcased in the critically acclaimed film Gururi No Koto, for which she won the Best Actress award at the 32nd Japan Academy Prize in 2009. This milestone marked her return to the screen following her pregnancy and birth of her child in 2008.
When not honing her craft, Kimura can be found pursuing her passions for ballet, jazz, and traditional dancing. She has also developed a unique interest in vegetable sommelier, showcasing her dedication to exploring various facets of the performing arts.
Represented by the prestigious agency Yougo Office, Kimura continues to captivate audiences with her impressive range and versatility, solidifying her position as a prominent figure in the Japanese entertainment industry.
