Anna Ishii

Anna Ishii (born July 11, 1998) is a prominent Japanese actress, dancer, and former member of the popular J-pop group E-girls. After beginning her career in the dance world and performing with E-girls from 2011 until their disbandment in 2020, she transitioned into a highly successful acting career, earning the prestigious Blue Ribbon Award for Best Newcomer in 2016 for her roles in Solomon's Perjury and Girls' Step. Known for her ability to portray both vulnerable and resilient characters, she has starred in a variety of acclaimed projects, including Your Lie in April, The Anthem of the Heart, and the 2020 remake of Tokyo Love Story. In the 2025 Netflix film 10DANCE, Ishii plays a pivotal role as Fusako Yagami, the professional Ballroom partner to Shinya Sugiki (Keita Machida). Her performance has been highlighted by critics for its "arresting vulnerability," particularly in scenes that explore the complex, sometimes traumatic history between her and Sugiki. Her background as a professional-level dancer allowed her to bring an authentic physicality to the film's rigorous ballroom sequences, making her character a resonant emotional anchor amidst the central romance between the two leads.
