Erika Ikuta

A trained pianist, a founding member of Nogizaka46, and a stage actress who has played Cosette, Eponine and Fantine in Japan's Les Miserables - three roles most performers would need an entire career to collect. She was born in Dusseldorf in 1997 and holds the Kikuta Kazuo Theatre Award. The idol years were the side door, never the ceiling.
