Marika Itō (伊藤 万理華, Itō Marika, born February 20, 1996) is a Japanese idol singer, actress, artist, model[1] and a former member of the Japanese idol group Nogizaka46.
Biography
Itō was born on February 20, 1996 in Osaka, Japan to a fashion designer mother and a graphic designer father.[2]
She began her singing career in 2011 by successfully auditioning for the first generation of Nogizaka46, an idol group created as the official rival of AKB48.[1] As a Nogizaka46 member, Itō appeared in several albums, concerts, short films, music videos and television shows, including the million-selling singles "Influencer"[3][4] and "Itsuka Dekiru kara Kyō Dekiru".[4][5] In 2017, at the group's sold-out first Tokyo Dome concert, Itō performed for the last time as a Nogizaka46 member.[6]
Itō's acting career began while she was still a member of Nogizaka46. She had a minor part in the 2013 movie Bad Boys J,[7] but her first major film role was in Eyes, an adaptation of a story by Ring author Koji Suzuki.[8][9] In 2017 she played a supporting role in Asahinagu, an adaptation of the manga of the same name, for which she had to learn how to use the naginata.[10]
While in Nogizaka46, Itō art directed and styled several of her individual performance videos, which were included in bonus versions of singles and DVDs.[11] Shortly before her graduation from Nogizaka46, Itō's first solo art exhibition was held in October 2017 at GALLERY X BY PARCO and featured photographs of fellow Nogizaka46 members, a room filled with objects meant to represent the contents of Itō's brain, and an original short film playing on a loop.[12] In 2017 she also filmed her first solo commercial, for the app リクポ ("requpo"), based on a character she created and played in a Nogizaka46 music video.[11] In 2018, Itō's photobook Étranger, for which she styled the clothing, was published.[13] She was also selected to be the image model for the MOOSIC LAB 2018 music and film festival.[14]
In 2019, Itō was cast in her first post-Nogizaka46 film role, winning a supporting role in Kakegurui – Compulsive Gambler, a film adaptation of the Homura Kawamoto manga of the same name.[15] Later that year she played the role of Minatsu in the Kansai TV drama Junichi (潤一),[16] and her solo art exhibition "HOMESICK" was held at Parco Gallery X in Shibuya.[17]
