According to sources, actor Katase Nana has quit the famous acting firm "Kenyin" on September 30. The firm also announced the news through its official website on the same day.
The official website reads, "The firm's actor Katase Nana officially withdrew from the company today (September 30, 2021), and both sides ushered in a new beginning." Since the 30th, Katase's official website and official SNS have also ceased operations. According to the firm, the decision to withdraw from the company was the result of continuous consultations between the two sides. Katase is expected to conduct independent performing arts activities in the future.
After debuting as a model in women's magazines such as JJ, Katase was selected as an "Asahi Kasei Swimsuit Girl" in 1999. In March of the same year, she starred in Fuji Tv's "Beautiful Girl H2" and officially debuted as an actor. In December 2002, he released the album "GALAXY", and completed the debut of the singer.
Katase made friends in the acting world with a "royal sister" personality and was extremely popular, but in November 2019, Hideyazawa Sawajiri, an actor who had been caring for Katase as a sister, was arrested for possessing synthetic drugs such as MDMA and suspected of violating the drug prohibition law, and Katase, who was the host of the Japanese tv show "シューイチ" (broadcast every Sunday at 7:30 a.m.), tearfully recounted his "as if betrayed" state of mind during filming.
In March of this year, Katase withdrew from シューイチ. In addition, Katase also starred in the Fuji TV series "She's Beautiful", which ushered in the finale on the 14th of this month. (Fisherman's Bread/Translation)
