Comments

Lucas Jan 07 2025 12:54 pm I know Riisa because of Alice in Borderland, and i'm gonna be 100% honest here, she played her role perfectly. Matter of fact she played it the best out of anybody in AIB (this is just my opinion, every actor/actress were great). I mean, the way she can act so good is truly amazing and it makes me sad that she isn't super known worldwide, she absolutely should be cause she deserves all the fame and support in the world.

My biggest dream in life used to be to become an actor, it still is, but now with a bonus - become an actor and act with Riisa in a movie or a show. And even though i'm planning on becoming an actor in the states, i'm willing to learn japanese so i can go there and act with Riisa. And i will, mark my words whoever's reading this.

What a truly beautiful, talented, wonderful, amazing actress... no, human being you are, Riisa Naka.

Yasuhiko chan Feb 17 2021 11:05 pm She is lookalike my crush in real life ?

megane Dec 13 2020 9:36 am I haven't been watching jdrama for a while but I was so shocked to see her in Alice in Borderland! I recognized her after 2 episodes, I just had to see if it was really her!!

Miss you, Riisa-san~

Lim Jul 11 2019 1:04 am Loved her on Nihonjin no Shiranai Nihongo. It was a really nice drama, funny and heartwarming. And she is so freaking beautiful.

Kou Jan 06 2019 6:01 am Anyone also thinks she looks like Karen Mok?

angel hunny Apr 25 2017 8:10 am hello! Her acting in yankee kun to megane chan was great!

Chido Nov 10 2015 1:44 pm I know her through drama "Nihonjin no Shiranai Nihongo" and I really like her !

kaye Sep 09 2015 5:08 am she is also the actor of the yankee-kun to megane-chan.. nice

jon Oct 27 2013 5:44 am I so adore her, and still shocking that she married akiyoshi kun. however they chemistry was great on toki o kokure shoujo.

any way, is there any movie that she was paired with akiyoshi except toki o kokure ?

Umi Jun 15 2013 12:35 pm She is beautiful and sometimes can act like a stupid in yankee-kun to megane-chan and so sweet with narimiya hiroki..kawaii

yuni Mar 24 2013 10:37 am i should congrats her for becoming a mom. yay! i love her~ and i ll not ship any pairing. cos naka riisa and akiyoshi nakao love story continues in real life... im sooo happy for them! best wishes!

Hamid Nov 25 2012 2:15 pm my heart for you, Riisa Naka

junpei mizocendol Apr 12 2012 8:25 am in terms of versatility and ingenuity, she's second to none (compared to actors and actresses at her age group). She tackles almost every kind of roles and sucessful in most of her attempts. Simply a true born entertainer. Sadly, like many actors and actresses at her age nowadays she often end up in bad drama and movies.

rumiko Nov 05 2011 1:06 am she is my IDOL too.. she looks like my school mate so every time i see my school mate i call her riisa but she doesn't care.. by the way where did you watch Cafe Isobe? i want to watch it so badly.. hope you can tell me

moustachegai Oct 28 2011 6:03 am That new BIFF photo of Riisa on this page looks like she's going to open a can of whoopass and beat us up...

kyouya2909 Oct 03 2011 2:18 am I bought Yankee-Kun DVD today..... Watched in one, this drama is so good & I came to like her!

rumiko Aug 02 2011 5:19 am where did you watch cafe isobe?? and she is CUTE!! i like to watch it..

rina Feb 04 2011 9:42 pm is she ninomiya kazunari's sister?:O they're like a twin

faiz Jan 19 2011 4:34 am definitely love of her acting skill in cafe isobe. Even though it's a really humble dorama, but she stands out in here. good job

Tess Jan 06 2011 11:46 pm She doesn't looked that mixed to be but I do agree with @Abdullah that she does look more Korean than Japanese.

John Jan 03 2011 2:59 am Her role as Adachi Hana in Yankee-kun to Megane-chan is awesome!!!! Somehow her stupidity in the drama makes her look more cute. =) Much better than manga version.

Akhil Nov 04 2010 2:36 pm Her song 'Namida' was stuck in my head for a while. She's versatile and I believe she can make a career out of singing as well. Excellent voice.

kosuda Oct 22 2010 8:57 pm she is an exelent actress and her future are the experience of all tv series and movies make to her most intereting, so she is diferent and especial maybe just maybe triump in the occidentals movies like others asian actors and actress.

royston Sep 23 2010 5:58 am very talented actress, all the best.

meeps Jul 20 2010 4:47 am According to dramawiki, she is in fact, 1/4 Swedish by her grandfather.

Faithmemory May 08 2010 12:04 pm She is a great actress. She can portray any kinds of role very well. She acts like an anime or something, that makes her more interesting to watch. I'd like to see more of her in the future! I'm a fan of her now ^^. and she is awesome, pretty too.

سآرة Mar 25 2010 6:26 am Her role in "Toki wo Kakeru Shojo" was really good.

@Erica Jan 06 2010 8:34 pm Well, she does look somewhat race-mixed.

Erica Sep 19 2009 9:45 pm I heard that she was 1/4 Swedish, but I'm not too sure. :)

Abdullah Sep 07 2009 4:03 am I have seen her role in Cafe Isobe and i am wondering she does not look like most of the japanese .... i kinda had this feeling that she looks similar to korean , especially her nose, perhaps she has some roots back to korea.

anyway i guess she has a good future if she can come with new ideas in her movies and become unique and different from other japanese actors such as Takashi ..
