She gradually developed into a charismatic figure among women of her generation.

Anna has also appeared as an actress in films such as “Kamikaze Girls” (2004) and “Chanoma”. For her role in “Kamikaze Girls”, in which she co-starred with Kyoko Fukada, she won eight film awards, including the Japanese Academy Award. She also received great acclaim from the film industry. In 2005, she took on her first voice acting role for the Japanese version of the Disney movie “Herbie: Fully Loaded”. She voiced the heroine, Maggie Peyton, originally performed by Lindsay Lohan.

She has since added unique roles to her repertoire in “Kiraware Matsuko no Issho” (2006) and “Dororo” (2007). Her latest leading role in “Sakuran” (2007) won her a very popular following amongst young women in her own age group, making the film a major hit. Anna's movies have been well received abroad as well, so it's no wonder that there is considerable anticipation that she will soon launch an international acting career.
