Biography

Akase was born in Aichi Prefecture on July 30, 2001. From an early age, she had an interest in anime, and until she became a junior high school student, she had a dream of appearing in the Pretty Cure franchise. When she was in high school she served as the manager of her school's volleyball club.

After retiring as the club's manager, she decided to take up cosplay due to her interest in anime. Cosplay would also be a way for her to spend money that she had earned from part-time jobs. She then decided to start a TikTok account, which quickly grew in popularity; as of November 2020 she had over 900,000 subscribers. It was also through her TikTok account where she was scouted for entertainment activities via a Twitter direct message. As she had longed to be an actress from childhood, and with the approval of her parents, she accepted the offer.

Akase's professional modelling debut was a swimsuit feature in Shueisha's Weekly Playboy magazine in March 2020. Later that year she released a photobook titled Semi to Hatsukoi (蝉と初恋。). In 2021 she made her debut as a television actress, appearing in the Fuji TV drama series Mr. Good-looking starring by Fūju Kamio and Shihori Kanjiya. By December 2021, her TikTok subscriber count had surpassed 1.2 million.

In 2022, Akase made her debut as a solo musician, releasing her first single "Koi no Yukue" (恋ノ行方) on February 23, 2022; the title song was used as the ending theme to the anime television series My Dress-Up Darling.
