Japanese actress and singer
Mari Hoshino (星野 真里, Hoshino Mari, born July 27, 1981 in Kamifukuoka, Saitama) is a Japanese actress and singer.
Background
She graduated from Aoyama Gakuin University. Most well known for her lead role as Otome Sakamoto in the TBS drama, Kinpachi-sensei, Hoshino has starred in several dramas in recent years. Her main role in Platonic Sex was somewhat controversial as it was rather contrary to her image as one possessing pure values. She has also published two photographic books as well as about six CDs. Of the Japanese dramas shown in Los Angeles, a substantial fraction of them have Mari in the cast.
