Erika Karata (唐田 えりか, Karata Erika, born September 19, 1997) is a Japanese model and actress associated with FLaMme and BH Entertainment. In 2014, she debuted as a model, and in 2017, she began a concurrent modeling and acting career in South Korea. Notable film and television projects that Karata has starred in include Lock-On Love, Asako I & II, and Arthdal Chronicles.

Career[edit]

When Karata was in her second year of high school, she was scouted by an agency official at her workplace, where she had been a part-time employee at a farm theme park. She began her career as a model and first appeared in the music video for "Divine" by Girls' Generation.[3] Afterwards, she made minor appearances in the television dramas Koi Naka and Cho Gentei Noryoku and became the image model for the Sony Financial Holdings commercials.[4]

In 2017, Karata signed with BH Entertainment to manage her activities in South Korea. During this time, she also appeared in a commercial for LG and a music video for "Emptiness" by Naul.[5] In 2018, Karata starred in Asako I & II, for which she won the Best New Actor Award at the Yokohama Film Festival.

Personal life[edit]

On January 23, 2020, Shūkan Bunshun revealed that Karata had been involved in an extramarital affair with actor Masahiro Higashide, her co-star on Asako I & II, since 2017 even while his wife was pregnant with their third child. In response, she dropped out of the television series Prayers in the Emergency Room.[6] Episodes 5 and 6 of 100-moji Idea Drama o Shita!, which she had co-written and starred in, was removed from broadcast. The episodes had been about a newcomer actress being involved in an extramarital affair and had included Higashide's name as Karata's character's friend.[7]
