News about the Oshi no Ko 2024 live-action adaptation is very exciting for fans. But who is Nanoka Hara in the Oshi no Ko movie?
Who Is Nanoka Hara in Oshi no Ko? Her Role Explained
In the Oshi no Ko live-action movie and television series, actress Nanoka Hara is going to portray the fan-favorite character, Kana Arima.
Fans love Kana not only because of her character design, fashion sense, and stunning color scheme but also because she's one of the most raw and realistic characters in the anime.
Kana used to be a child actress with a promising future. However, her early exposure to the world of show business rendered her spoiled.
Growing up, she had an increasingly hard time finding quality jobs because she got a reputation as being difficult to work with due to her sharp tongue.
As a teenager, Kana becomes more empathetic and strives to be a kinder person, though she's still ambitious, and some of her grumpiness remains.
Her difficulty in finding quality jobs despite being a talented actress has resonated with fans, and many consider her one of the best girls in the anime.
Kana is now a member of the new B-Komachi group alongside Ruby Hoshino and Mem-Cho.
We look forward to seeing Nanoka Hara bring the beloved character to life.
