Suzu Hirose is an all but ubiquitous presence in the Japanese entertainment industry these days.

The 28-year-old actor, whose searching eyes peer out from soft features, rose to prominence through films such as “Our Little Sister” (2015) and “The Third Murder” (2017), both directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda, and the live-action adaptations of anime series “Chihayafuru” (2016-18).

This month, she was honored with the Cut Above Award for Outstanding Achievement in Film at the Japan Cuts festival hosted by New York’s Japan Society.
