Ayaka Komatsu (Japanese: 小松彩夏 Komatsu Ayaka; born 23 July 1986) is a Japanese model, gravure idol and actress. She was born in Ichinoseki, Iwate Prefecture.

Biography

Modeling career

Her modeling agency is Amuse inc. She was a regular model of the now defunct Candy magazine.^[1] She also appeared in the Winter 2002-2003 "Angel Blue" fashion catalog and was on the cover of the manga Young Sunday dated April 7, 2005.

She was a member of the 2004 edition of the Japanese modeling quartet named Nittelligenic, an idol group sponsored by Nippon TV.^[2]

Acting career

She has acted in the following movies: Odoru Daisosasen The Movie 2 (her role in this film was relatively minor; she gets attacked by a vampire), Koibumi, Master of Thunder, A Perfect Day for Love Letters, Drift and Drift 2 (later released as Drift Deluxe Edition), and Boku wa Imōto ni Koi o Suru (which opened in Japan on January 20, 2007, and later in Europe under the English title My Sister, My Love).

Arguably, her best known role was as Minako Aino/Sailor V/Sailor Venus in the series Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.

Komatsu was in the cast of a TV show called Dandori Musume ("Appointment Girls"). Her role in Dandori Musume is more comic than tragic, in contrast to her PGSM role. In 2008, she appeared in Average^[3] and in episode 7 of Aren't You a Criminal?.^[4]

She had a recurring role in the summer Fuji TV drama Buzzer Beat, reuniting with her former Sailor Moon cast member Keiko Kitagawa, who had the lead female role as well as with Yamashita Tomohisa as Komatsu made a cameo appearance on his previous drama, Kurosagi.
