His rise to fame continued with his role in the popular drama "Hitotsu Yane no Shita" and later in significant projects such as the historical drama "Shinsengumi!" and the blockbuster film "Shin Ultraman". More recently, he made waves with his role in the highly talked-about drama "Jimen Shitachi". During the convention, fans will have an opportunity to meet him during autograph and photo sessions.

She has been a beloved figure since her appearance as a cosplayer at Tokyo Comic Convention 2023, garnering a massive following of over 5.5 million across various platforms. Known for her enthusiastic cosplay appearances, including portrayals of Hermione from the "Harry Potter" series, her presence adds a unique flavor to the convention.
