Mai Fukagawa (Japanese: 深川 麻衣, Hepburn: Fukugawa Mai, born March 29, 1991) is a Japanese actress and former singer. She is a former member of Nogizaka46, debuting in 2011 as part of the first generation and graduating in 2016.

Early life and education[edit]

Fukagawa was born on March 29, 1991, in Iwata, Shizuoka.[1] While in elementary school, she was a fan of Morning Musume. Although she wanted to become a member of Mini-Moni, she aspired to become an illustrator or Japanese confectioner.[2] In junior high school, she became interested in the entertainment industry, and saw Water Boys 2 being filmed at her alma mater.[3] She then enrolled in an arts high school and majored in design, studying oil and Japanese painting.[2][4] In her first year of high school, she enrolled in the dance school Heroes Academy.[5] After graduating from high school, she enrolled in a fashion vocational school in Nagoya.[2]

Career[edit]

2010–2016: Early career and Nogizaka46[edit]

In August 2010, Fukagawa won the Grand Prix at the modeling audition of kawaii EXPO 2010, sponsored by Lowrys Farm, and became an exclusive model for them.[6][7] After discussing with her parents, her mother told her to try for a year and come back if it doesn't work but be financially independent.[8] She moved to Tokyo after living in Nagoya for two years,[9][2] and worked part-time while auditioning as an actress and model.[10]

In August 2011, she passed Nogizaka46's first generation audition, having sung Aiko's "KissHug".[11] As Nogizaka46's lessons were only on the weekends and part-time jobs were prohibited, Fukagawa struggled financially.[2] In November, she started her official Nogizaka46 blog.[12]

On February 22, 2012, Fukagawa made her musical debut on Nogizaka46's debut single "Guruguru Curtain", featuring on Type C for the songs "Hidarimune no Yuuki" and "Ushinaitaku Nai Kara". She was selected as a starting member for the first time on the group's third single, "Hashire! Bicycle".[13]

In June 2014, she participated in the Nogizaka46 stage production 16 Principals.[14] She began her first regular solo activity in October as a narrator for Milan TV Milano Milan.[15][16][17]

Fukagawa participated in Nogizaka46's debut performance at the 66th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, performing "Kimi no Na wa Kibō".[18][19]

On January 5, 2016, fellow Nogizaka46 member Kazumi Takayama's short story "Carry-over", which Fukagawa illustrated, was published on the website of the magazine Da Vinci.[20][21] Two days later, Fukagawa announced that she would be graduating from the group with their 14th single, "Harujion ga Sakukoro".[22] She had the center position for the first time with the single,[23] and released her only solo song, "Tsuyogaru Tsubomi", with the single.[24] On June 4, Fukagawa had her last handshake event with the group, receiving her diploma from Reika Sakurai.[25] Five days later, she released her first solo photobook, Zutto, Sobaniitai (ずっと、そばにいたい). The photobook recorded estimated weekly sales of nearly 29,000,[26] and ranked second in the book category and first in the photobook category on the Oricon weekly rankings on June 20.[27] Fukagawa graduated from the group on June 16 with a concert held at Ecopa Arena in Shizuoka.[28][29] On July 1, her Nogizaka46 official blog was closed.[30] The bonus backstage video from her graduation was released on July 27 as part of Nogizaka46's 15th single, "Hadashi de Summer".[31]

2016–present: Acting career[edit]

In September 2016, she moved to the agency Ten Carat, and began working as an actress.[32] On November 21, she appeared on her first gravure cover as an actress for Big Comic Spirits.[33]

In 2017, she took her first lead role in Skip.[34] In 2018, she made her film debut in Bread, Bus, and the Second Hatsukoi.[35] This role won her the Best Emerging Actress award at the 10th TAMA Film Awards.[36] Later that year, she appeared in Manpuku, her first asadora appearance.[37]

In 2019, she starred in Nippon Boro Yado Journey.[38] In 2021, she starred in the movie Omoide Shashin.[39] Later that year, she appeared in her first taiga drama Reach Beyond the Blue Sky as Princess Kazu.[40] Starting in April 2022, she appeared in Tokusō 9 as Yuma Takao.[41][42]

On July 11, 2023, she was appointed as the "Shizuoka Iwata PR Ambassador" for her hometown of Iwata, Shizuoka.[43]
