**Yuumi Kawai** or **Yūmi Kawai** (河合 優実, *Kawai Yūmi*; born 19 December 2000 in Tokyo) is a Japanese actress.[1][2]

## Career

In 2019, Kawai made her acting debut in the short film *Yodominaku, Yamanai*.[1] In 2022, she was given the Best Newcomer award at the [43rd Yokohama Film Festival](/source/43rd_Yokohama_Film_Festival) for her roles in *A Balance* and *[It's a Summer Film](/source/It's_a_Summer_Film).*[3] She continued her success by winning Best Supporting Actress at the [44th Yokohama Film Festival](/source/44th_Yokohama_Film_Festival) for her roles in various other films,[4] including *[Plan 75](/source/Plan_75)*, which earned her a nomination of Best Supporting Actress at the [16th Asian Film Awards](/source/16th_Asian_Film_Awards).[5][6]

She has also been active in television drama acting, with roles in *[Extremely Inappropriate!](/source/Extremely_Inappropriate!)*[7] and *The Child Of God Murmurs*[8] earning her two acting awards in 2024. In particular, audience of *Extremely Inappropriate!* (where Kawai plays a high-school student in the 1980s) noticed her resemblance to [Momoe Yamaguchi](/source/Momoe_Yamaguchi) when in-character, and proceeded to name Kawai "*Momoe-chan from the [Reiwa era](/source/Reiwa_era)*".[9][10] This TV series had a significant impact, and after its broadcast ended, she was cast in commercials for well-known companies such as [Shiseido](/source/Shiseido), [Uniqlo](/source/Uniqlo), and [Suntory](/source/Suntory). According to [Oricon](/source/Oricon)'s survey, she ranked as the No. 1 breakout actress of the first half of 2024.[11] Kawai was chosen as one of the 15 individuals (or groups) for "This Year's Face" by Model Press, and 2024 became a breakthrough year for her.[12]

In 2026, she served as the ambassador for the 33rd French Film Festival in Japan (Festival du film français au Japon), where she welcomed guests from France, including [Sophie Marceau](/source/Sophie_Marceau).[13]

## Personal life

Her hobbies are dancing, singing, drawing and playing basketball. When she was in the third grade, she started to attend dance studio with her younger sister. Although she went on hiatus in dancing during middle school, Kawai joined her high school dance club. As she continued dancing, she realized the joy of "expressing" and decided to become an actress.[14]

Kawai is good friends with fellow actress [Ai Mikami](/source/Ai_Mikami_(actress)), as both of them attended [Nihon University](/source/Nihon_University) College of Art together.[15]

She respects [Mirai Moriyama](/source/Mirai_Moriyama) as both an actor and a dancer.[16]
