Information

In Ito's school days, she was an amateur model for a magazine. When she was college-age she made her debut in the entertainment world.

Ito Misaki began as the image girl (or spokesperson) for Asahi Beer in 1999. She was also under exclusive contract as a model for the magazine CanCam. In 2000, Ito made her acting debut in the dorama Love Chat. After this she became famous for being seen in such commercials as "Choya Ume Liquor".

She was a supporter of several televised sports events: World Cup 2003, Athens Olympic Games 2004, and World Grand Prix in 2005. Because of this, Ito is called "Zen Nihon Shouri no Megami", or "All of Japan Victory Goddess".

In 2005, Ito co-starred as Hermes in the wildly popular dorama Densha Otoko. After this she was in another popular dorama, Kiken na Aneki, and Fuji TV ratings were sky high. With the help of these doramas, Ito won the "Japan Golden Raspberry Award" for her collection.

Ito Misaki has also been in a handful of horror movies like Ju-on. Ken-On actors and actresses are frequently seen in these movies; Ichikawa Yui and Uehara Misa were also in the film.
