Many fans from Japan and China have sent birthday wishes to mana sauce (fans' nickname for Ashida Aiji).
Ashida loves vegetables, mention this name, many people may be the first thing that comes to mind is the cute little girl who contracted our network avatar.
It is the "little drama bone" who won many heavyweight awards in the Japanese show business industry before the age of 8.
She is also the "national daughter" of Japan who blossoms in music, acting, and fashion.
In 2010, she was well known to the audience for the TV series "Mother", when she was just a kindergarten child, unconsciously, ten years later, the current mana sauce has become a high school student, grown into a big girl.
Many of the audiences who, like me, "grew up watching her work" really witnessed the development and growth trajectory of her career along the way.
Ashida Aisai was born on June 23, 2004 in Nishinomiya, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan.
As a child, she showed a strong interest in role playing, so under the guidance of her parents, she embarked on the road of acting very early, and in 2007, she joined jobby kids, a well-known Japanese sub-service agency, and the small actors of the same company included Terada Shin (who starred in the TV series "5 Nights 9 ~ Handsome Monk Loves Me" starring Tomohisa Yamashita and Misato Ishihara) and Suzuki Iaya (who starred in the TV series "Brother Gacha").
Then, in 2009, Mana Sauce officially started her own career as an actor.
In that year, she debuted with her debut film: the TV series "Abc Short Movie 2: Big Adventure Mom", and the following year, she starred as the daughter of yuko Moriguchi, a class teacher, in the popular thriller suspense film "Confessions".
But the mana sauce was really known to more people in 2010.
This year, she starred in the TV series "Mother(Mother)", which is also a work that is crucial to her acting career.
The play tells the story of a single female teacher in elementary school, "Natsu", who accidentally finds a little girl from a single-parent family in the class, "Kikinami (Aoi Ashida)", who is being abused by her mother, so Nasu decides to take on the responsibility of being a mother, "abducts" Nan, and the two escape together...
In this drama, mana sauce shows amazing acting skills beyond age, which makes countless audiences feel amazing.
This little girl full of aura, the control and understanding of emotions is so precise, many times she is obviously smiling, but the eyes reveal sadness, both cute appearance, as well as undoubted strength of acting, mana sauce then successfully "subdued" a group of "brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers" fans.
Especially in the play, the famous scene of the phone call with "mother", even if I have seen it 100 times, I still want to cry.

With this play, she herself won the 65th Japanese Drama Academy Awards Newcomer Award, and became the youngest winner of the award in the past years.
Debut acting is the peak, really can only be described by the word talent.
And these achievements are not short-lived, on the contrary, since then, Mana Sauce's acting career has grown by leaps and bounds like an opening and hanging.
In March 2011, she starred in the TV series Goodbye To Our Kindergarten, when she was only 6 years old, setting a record for the youngest protagonist in the history of Japanese television dramas. In addition, she won the 2011 Tokyo TV Festival Drama Award for Best Actress for this drama.

In the same year, she also collaborated with Kenichi Matsuyama in the manga film "White Rabbit Candy", and because of her outstanding performance, she was called "the daughter of the Japanese nation" and a little angel on earth.
She also won the Best Newcomer Award at the 54th Blue Ribbon Awards for films such as "White Rabbit Candy" and "The Miracle of 15 Minutes one way on the Hankyu Railway", breaking the record set by Harada Tomoyo Harada in 1984 and becoming the youngest winner in the history of the Blue Ribbon Awards.
Countless honors added to her, she is the country's most famous "genius service", no one will treat her as a child or despise her existence, Ashida Aicai is an excellent actor whose acting skills are no less than those of adults, and all kinds of praise are well-deserved.
In 13 years, Mana Sauce also entered Hollywood, starring in the movie "Pacific Rim".
She was highly praised by director Gilmour del Toro, calling her a genius. And because mana sauce can't pronounce his name accurately, the director also allowed her to call herself "Totoro Mulberry", and she was really a group favorite everywhere.
Then in 2014, in the TV series "Tomorrow, Mother Is Not There" starring in her, mana sauce changed the previous style, no longer a well-behaved girl, a little sweetheart, but showed a "hegemonic" posture, this action of grabbing the collar!! Daughter killed me!!
He is full of achievements in acting, and he is also excellent in other fields, such as music.
In 2011, Mana Sauce collaborated with a boy star, "Suzuki Fuku", on a nursery rhyme called "マル・マル・モリ・モリ!", which is the theme song of the TV series "The Rules of Takatakegi" co-starring them.
The song was in the top ten of Japan's major music charts between 2011 and 2012, and was downloaded more than 2 million times online, and bon friends who pay a little attention to Japanese songs should know how popular this song was at that time.
The second song finished 3rd on the oricon public trust chart, and Mana Sauce and Suzuki Fuku became the youngest group to reach the top ten of the chart with this single.
Later, at the end of 2011, the two also performed the song at the Red and White Song Festival, and at the age of 7, they became the youngest performer in the history of Red and White.
Looking back at the acting path of mana sauce, it is almost a person who has contracted most of Japan's "youngest ever".
Honors, fame, opportunities, achievements... Everything that mana sauce does, not even child stars, is to count all the female artists in Japan, which may be beyond the reach of many people in their lifetime.
Even last year, at the age of 15, she attended the national celebration celebrating the ascension of the Japanese Emperor to the throne as a representative of the art world, and delivered a congratulatory speech of more than 2 and a half minutes, which was excellent in capital letters in all aspects.
In addition to the work in the show business, in his private life, Mana Sauce has always been a hard-working, serious, and excellent good child.
Unlike other children who only indulged in playing with mud when they were young, mana sauce loved to read from an early age, and at the age of 6, the amount of reading in a month could reach 60 books, although most of the picture books, but the amount was far more than that of his peers.
"Books are my life, and you can't do without books."
Unlike some other child stars who often lose sight of each other at work and study, mana sauce has always been a combination of learning and acting, and even at a young age, he can say that "reading is the foundation of acting".
Talented, willing to work hard, young but with a clear mind, and always firm in their ideas, not only that, but also a super bully.
In 17 years, Mana Sauce was admitted to a prestigious private junior high school with excellent results, and it is also one of the most difficult schools in Tokyo, Japan, Keio Junior High School.
Last year, she also published a book, adding to her rich life achievements, and at this time, she was only 15 years old.
For the future, mana sauce once said in the show that she wants to continue acting while being a pathologist.
This little girl we grew up watching grow up is 16 years old. Retiring from the childhood filter, she is more and more mature, and her future acting career may embark on a different path from her childhood.
But in any case, with a clear mind and mature thinking about life, I believe that mana sauce will be able to make the most suitable choice for herself, and there are countless possibilities in the future, looking forward to her being able to bring more beautiful works to the audience!
