Tao Okamoto

I find Tao Okamoto's trajectory genuinely inspiring. From Chiba to becoming a face of Ralph Lauren, then her film breakout as Mariko in The Wolverine and Mercy Graves in Batman v Superman, she carried herself as a fully realized character rather than an exotic accent. At 177 cm she has the runway poise of a top model, but it is her composed, self-possessed screen presence that stays with me. Hearing she has stepped toward directing only deepens my respect: she clearly wants authorship, not just visibility. I hope she keeps crossing borders on her own terms.
