Let’s take a look at Fumi Nikaido’s background!
Fumi Nikaido was born on September 21, 1994, in Naha, Okinawa Prefecture.
Her entry into the entertainment industry began when a photo of her was published in the local free paper “Okinawa Bishojo Zukan.”
That photo caught someone’s eye, and she was scouted, which marked the start of her career in entertainment.
Subsequently, in June 2009, she made her screen debut in the film “Gama no Abura” (directed by Koji Yakusho) and began her serious work as an actress.
Her acting talent was notably recognized with the film “Himizu” (directed by Sion Sono), released in January 2011. Together with her co-star Shota Sometani, she received the Marcello Mastroianni Award for Best Newcomer at the 68th Venice International Film Festival, which catapulted her into the spotlight.
When I received the award for “Himizu,” I completely denied everything the interviewers said. After winning, a bunch of grown-ups rushed in, exclaiming, “That’s amazing!” and the excitement just exploded…

But in the end, I was really happy, though (laughs).

Subsequently, she appeared in high-profile works such as “Aku no Kyōten” (released in November 2012) and “Jigoku de Naze Warui” (released in September 2013), establishing herself as a talented young actress.
Furthermore, in the NHK morning drama “Yell” (2020), she played the heroine, On, earning high praise from viewers.

Next, Fumi Nikaido entered Keio University—has she graduated? Also, although she is widely recognized as a talented actress, has she won an Academy Award?
Fumi Nikaido has been committed not only to acting but also to her academic pursuits.
In 2014, she was admitted to the Faculty of Policy Management at Keio University through an AO entrance exam.
Balancing work and studies was by no means easy, but she diligently found time to study between her acting projects.
However, she has revealed that due to her filming schedule, it was challenging to earn enough credits, ultimately resulting in a seven-year enrollment at the university.
“Actually, I’m still an active university student—currently a seventh-year student at Keio. I heard that she decided to take on this morning drama role with the readiness to repeat a year if necessary,” an entertainment industry insider revealed.
