At the Bottom of this post you can see a clip of Kirin Kiki, Kyara Uchida, Actor Masatoshi
Nagase, and Director Naomi Kawase and writer Durian Sukegawa
at a promotion of the Film 'An' in Japan.

But the film was also a part of a film festival
in another part of the world, a place called Cannes. 'An' and another
Japanese film 'Umimachi Diary' from Director Hirokazu Koreeda were
both shown this year.

Mentioned in the first post is that Kyara chan had a role in
the 2011 film 「奇跡」 Kiseki / I Wish....

Directed by none other than Hirokazu Koreeda...

Along with Kyara, Kanna Hashimoto and Yuna Taira also had roles

Pretty amazing cast for 「奇跡」Kiseki / I Wish



In the photo, you see Hiroshi Abe, Joe Odagiri, Kirin Kiki, and director
Koreeda.  Kids are Ryoga Hayashi, brothers Koki Maeda and Oshiro Maeda, and
Kyara Uchida.

Not pictured is the late Yoshio Harada, in one of
his last appearances. Masami Nagasawa had a role as well.

Yuna Taira was top banana in this scene with Kyara



Now some more family pics of Kyara and her peeps.


Grandpa , Yuya Uchida in his younger days, and more recently:


Dad, Masahiro Motoki in 「おくりびと」
(Okuribito) aka 'Departures'


You can forgive Motoki san for a
little ドヤ顔, 'Departures' did win
the Oscar for Best Foreign Film

Kyara's Mom and Dad


Seems like her parents want Kyara to
have a normal school life, but it seems quite
possible we will see her in future films as well

It seems it's in her genes...

Kyara chan recently lent her voice to the
Think Now ハンセン病 (Think Now Hansen Byou) campaign,
which supports ending Hansen Disease and to ending the prejudice
towards those who have suffered the effects of leprosy.

Here is the organization website

And a clip of
Kyara's appeal - well done Kyara!
