Tao Tsuchiya (土屋太鳳, Tsuchiya Tao, born February 3, 1995) is a Japanese actress. She is best known for her memorable role of Makimachi Misao in the movie series Rurouni Kenshin, as Mai Nakahara in The 8-Year Engagement, Koharu in The Cinderella Addiction and most recently as Yuzuha Usagi in Netflix's Alice in Borderland.[1][2] Her older sister, Honoka, works as a model, while her younger brother, Shimba Tsuchiya, is also an actor.[3]
Chosen from among 2,020 women auditioning for the part, Tsuchiya was cast in the starring role of Mare, a morning drama serial aired on Japan's public television which first aired on March 30, 2015.[4]
In 2018, Tsuchiya performed in a theatre production in five cities within four countries around the world. The production was an adaptation from the manga Pluto. She played two main characters: a little cyborg girl named Uran and a cyborg woman named Helena.
She planned to participate in another Stage Play challenge in Tokyo during the summer of 2020, joining a Madam Mari Natsuki production called Neo Vol. 4.[5]
On January 1, 2023, Tsuchiya announced on her Instagram that she had married the Generations from Exile Tribe singer and actor Ryota Katayose, who was her co-star in the 2017 film My Brother Loves Me Too Much. At the same time, she also announced her pregnancy with her first child.[6] On August 29, 2023, Tsuchiya and Katayose announced the birth of their first child.[7]
