Takanashi Rin, born in Funabashi city, Chiba prefecture, is a Japanese model, film and television actress. After being scouted in Harajuku, she entered the audition for Fuji TV's variety show "Idol Road" and won the Grand Prix in 2005. The idol group Pink Jam Princess was formed at the end of the year and she was one of the five members. The group was short-lived and disbanded after releasing a single.
Takanashi's career as actress began when she starred in the 2008 film adaptation of the Japanese novel "GOTH" as one of the lead characters, Morino Yoru. Her breakthrough came a year later with the 33rd entry of Super Sentai series, Samuri Sentai Shinkenger in which she starred as Shiraishi Mako / Shinken Pink. In 2012, she co-starred with Kase Ryo in the film "Like Someone in Love". For this film, she won the Best New Actress Award at the 27th Takasaki Film Festival.
Takanashi received her first starring role in TBS renzoku dorama "Houkago Groove". Subsequently, she appeared in NHK Asadora "Hanako to Anne" as Daigo Ayako, friend of Hanako. Takanashi has been a regular model of the fashion magazine "andGIRL" since February 2017.
On January 20, 2018, Takanashi Rin announced her engagement with Urawa Red Diamonds and Japan's National Football Team defender, Makino Tomoaki, on her Instagram. The couple submitted their marriage registration on February 9, 2018 and held their wedding reception on December 26, 2018.
Takanashi Rin is represented by the agency STARDUST.
