[Sasori]

​

After graduating from Keyakizaka46, Imaizumi Yui (aka Zuumin) spent 2019 transitioning into an acting career. She made her acting debut in the stage play "The Atami Murder Case: Atami Satsujin Jiken LAST GENERATION 46".

​

She was also featured in her first Crown Program. It was basically a reality show that ran for 3 episodes over the summer and focused on Zuumin turning 20 and becoming a woman. Each episode focused on a a different theme like health, beauty, and a first date!

​

That was only the beginning. The perpetual baby is starting off 2020 with a bang. First, she's participating in the add campaign for "GiRLS by PEACH JOHN" a new brand for women in their teens and 20's.

In addition she'll be she'll be starring in two episodes of the TV Tokyo Drama "100 Character Ideas Made Into a Drama". It's part of an ongoing series where ideas taken from viewer submissions are turned into a show. The stories vary between love, comedy, and suspense. Zuumin will take on 5 different roles across the two episodes. In the first one, she plays the wife of a YouTuber.





To top it all off, Zuumin will be starring the stage adaptation of Azumi (kind of on the nose for Imaizumi to play Azumi, lol). Based on the Manga, it was originally adapted into two feature films in the 2000's, both starring Ueto Aya. The story follows the orphaned Azumi as she's trained by an assassin to carry out a secret mission. This role is a departure from the undercover detective she played in the Atami Murder Case as she'll be adding sword play to her repertoire.

It's only January, so hopefully these are signs of more things to come. Now enjoy some more pictures of this giant baby!
