Mari Hoshino (星野 真里, Hoshino Mari, born July 27, 1981 in Kamifukuoka, Saitama) is a Japanese actress and singer.

Background

She graduated from Aoyama Gakuin University. Most well known for her lead role as Otome Sakamoto in the TBS drama, Kinpachi-sensei, Hoshino has starred in several dramas in recent years. Her main role in Platonic Sex was somewhat controversial as it was rather contrary to her image as one possessing pure values. She has also published two photographic books as well as about six CDs. Of the Japanese dramas shown in Los Angeles, a substantial fraction of them have Mari in the cast.

In September 2011, she married to an TBS announcer, Takahiro Takano.[1] On July 30, 2015, she gave birth to their first daughter, named Fuka (ふうか).[2] In September 2024, she revealed on her Instagram that her daughter has congenital myopathy.[3] However she later corrected that her daughter is actually has centronuclear myopathy.[4]
