My Take
I'll be honest, Yuriko Yoshitaka is one of those actors who looks all soft and delicate, and then you actually watch her and realize she's gloriously her own person, totally on her own wavelength. That husky, slightly unhinged laugh of hers? Once you hear it you can't unhear it, and the sneaky part is she always looks like she's the one having the most fun in the room. She's got serious range too, gliding from prim and graceful to genuinely weird and prickly so smoothly that I keep going "wait, that was the same woman?" The fact that she was snagging newcomer awards basically out of the gate tells you the talent was never in question. Mostly I just love that she clearly doesn't perform for approval, and watching someone hold their own pace like that is oddly satisfying.
