Masumi Nomura

BIOGRAPHY

Masumi Nomura (Japanese: 野村麻純; born October 10, 1990) is a Japanese actor signed to FLaMme. She plays Mori Naomi in the 2026 MBS boys’ love drama The Boy and I Who Will Break Up in 100 Days.

Born in Kagoshima Prefecture, she was still a junior college student when she passed an audition and signed with FLaMme, debuting in 2011. Her second role, as the blonde-haired Soara Suzuki in 11-nin mo Iru! (2011), drew early attention.

She went on to her first asadora appearance in NHK’s morning drama Toto Neechan (2016), and later played Sawa, the childhood friend of the protagonist, in the 2024 Taiga drama Hikaru Kimi e. She is a certified food education instructor and is a niece of actor Kazuki Sawamura, a family connection that became public in October 2022.

BLGLFlix editorial view

An asadora and a Taiga. In Japanese television those are the two credits that mean something to everyone, and she has both.

Masumi Nomura appeared in NHK’s morning drama Toto Neechan in 2016 and played Sawa in the 2024 Taiga drama Hikaru Kimi e. Morning dramas run daily for six months and Taiga dramas are the year-long historical productions; between them they are the closest thing Japanese television has to a national institution.

She reached them by the ordinary route: an audition passed while she was still at junior college, a contract with FLaMme, a debut in 2011, and early attention for Soara Suzuki in 11-nin mo Iru! the same year. Fifteen years of continuous work, and then, for MBS in 2026, the part of Mori Naomi in The Boy and I Who Will Break Up in 100 Days.

Two details on this record are unusual enough to keep. She is a certified food education instructor, a Japanese qualification with no equivalent elsewhere in this catalogue, and she is a niece of the actor Kazuki Sawamura, a connection that only became public in 2022.
