Yukino Kishii is credited as an actor. Yukino Kishii was born on February 11, 1992 in Hadano, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. That works out to 34 years old in 2026. Awards on record include Japan Academy Prize for Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role (2023), Mainichi Film Award for Best Actress (2023), Kinema Junpo Award for Best Actress (2023) and 2 more. The listed height is 151 cm.
My Take
Yukino Kishii is 151 cm tall and somehow occupies the entire frame. Her 2023 was absurd: Best Actress at the Japan Academy Film Prize, the Mainichi Film Award and Kinema Junpo, essentially everything the country hands out, for Small, Slow But Steady. What I admire is not the trophy shelf but the choices underneath it. Just Only Love asked her to play someone needy, unflattering and hard to root for, and she refused to sand the edges off. Performers willing to look bad on camera are rarer than they ought to be. Born in Hadano, Kanagawa in 1992, she took a Newcomer prize in 2020 and a Best Actress three years later, which is a very short climb by any standard. One Day, You Will Reach the Sea and the series Koisenu Futari suggest she keeps picking scripts with something actually at stake. I suspect her best work is still ahead.
