Akari Takaishi

Akari Takaishi’s filmography is a wild ride—no kidding. If you’ve ever dipped your toes into the chaos of Baby Assassins, you already know she’s got a knack for blending deadpan humor with some seriously brutal action sequences. That flick from 2021? It’s basically about two teenage girls, fresh out of assassin school, who get tossed into the real world. They’re awkward, broke, and absolutely lethal—think odd couple, but with more bullets and less small talk. Akari nails that whole “trying to be normal while also being able to snap a dude’s neck in two seconds” vibe. She makes you root for characters who probably shouldn’t be anywhere near a high school, let alone a hit list. Fast forward to Ghost Killer in 2024. This one’s a whole different beast. Akari’s playing in supernatural territory here, chasing down spirits with the same intensity she brings to her hitwoman roles. There’s this gritty, almost punk energy to her performances—she doesn’t just play a character, she owns the screen, even when she’s up against, you know, angry ghosts and all that mayhem. Then you’ve got Baby Assassins: Nice Days, also from 2024. It’s got the same quirky, slice-of-life meets action mashup, but you can see Akari’s grown into the role. She’s sharper, funnier, and honestly, she pulls off those fight scenes like she’s been training since birth. If you’re into offbeat action movies that don’t take themselves too seriously, Akari Takaishi’s stuff is a goldmine.
