Ai Hashimoto (橋本 愛, Hashimoto Ai, born 12 January 1996) is a Japanese actress, fashion model and singer.

Life[edit]

Hashimoto was born in Kumamoto, Kumamoto Prefecture,[1] the second of three daughters.[2] In 2008, Hashimoto won the HUAHUA audition held by Newcome;[3][4] her mother had chosen Hashimoto for the audition because she had the strongest facial complexion out of the three sisters.[3]

In 2009, Hashimoto was selected as the youngest "Miss Seventeen" by fashion magazine Seventeen, alongside Emi Kudo, Arisa Takada and Alice Hirose, out of 5,267 applicants.[5] The same year, she debuted as an actress in the movie Give and Go, portraying a deaf girl who is absorbed in basketball.[2]

Hashimoto appeared in Confessions in 2010[6] and starred in The Kirishima Thing in 2012,[7] for which she won new face awards from the Japan Academy[8] and Kinema Junpo.[9] She also appeared as Sadako in Sadako 3D.[10]
