Unafraid to be different
Yuki Tanaka is a Japanese-British actress and model splitting her time between Tokyo and London. Trained at Bungakuza Theatre Company and the Royal Central School of Speech & Drama, she brings a rare fusion of Eastern discipline and Western experimentation to every project.
With credits across Netflix Japan, BBC, and international indie cinema, Yuki gravitates toward genre-bending roles that challenge convention. Her editorial work with Comme des Garçons, Issey Miyake, and i-D Magazine reflects her fearless, avant-garde aesthetic.
Off-screen, she DJs under the alias YKTK, practices Butoh dance, and runs a zine collective documenting East Asian creatives in London.
