Mirai Yamamoto

Mirai Yamamoto is the daughter of Kansai Yamamoto, the designer behind the outrageous costumes David Bowie wore in his Ziggy Stardust years. Start there and you expect the child to inherit the volume. She did not. She became a film actress working in a register far quieter than anything her father ever sent down a runway, and I find that choice more interesting than any loud rebellion would have been. Growing up beside that much personality usually produces an imitator or a refusal. She looks to me like a third option: someone who simply walked into a different room and got on with the work. Even her given name, Mirai, meaning future, carries his fingerprints, so she has never been able to step entirely out of his frame. She was picked from 36,000 applicants in an Amuse audition in 1990 to make her film debut, and has kept working since, including a part in the 1998 film Sleepless Town. She never traded on her private life to stay visible, and not being talked about is not the same as not working.
