Rie Takahashi works on versatility rather than volume, and the catalogue keeps proving that the quieter choice was the correct one.
The essay
Our editors on the work, the patterns and the reason this body of work holds together.
Rie Takahashi appears in 21 films in the Nutevio catalogue, and none of them would work the same way without Rie. Teasing Master Takagi-san: The Movie is the clearest case: a film rated 8.4 by our editors, where the performance carries weight the script only implies.
The recognisable elements are versatility, transformation, emotional range. Watch two of these films back to back and the method separates from the material — the same instrument, tuned differently for romance, drama, animation. It is a style built on what is withheld as much as what is played.
Working with Akira Suzuki, Yuta Tanaka, Yutaro Kubo and others, Rie Takahashi helped set a standard other performers now audition against. Awards bodies have been slower than the work, which is usually the sign of a career built on choices rather than campaigns.

The defining work
#1
Takagi-san (voice)
Teasing Master Takagi-san: The Movie (2022)
Performance score8.6
The performance the rest of the career is read through. Takagi-san (voice) gives Rie Takahashi a structure to work against, and the film hands over its centre of gravity without hesitation.
View movie#2
Mirai Asahina / Cure Miracle (voice)
Pretty Cure All Stars F (2023)
Performance score8.0
Pretty Cure All Stars F asks for something the previous films did not, and gets it. Mirai Asahina / Cure Miracle (voice) is played without a single line of pleading for the audience's sympathy — which is exactly why it lands.

Best entry point
as Takagi-san (voice)
Start here. Teasing Master Takagi-san: The Movie is the clearest statement of what Rie Takahashi does — accessible, 73 minutes, and rated 8.4 by our editors. No context required.
Our editors order this path by accessibility first and chronology second. You meet Rie at the most legible performance, then move forward in time so each film reads as a response to the one before it rather than a repetition of it.

You, Fireworks, and Our PromiseSix degrees
Follow the thread outward — director, film, co-star, and the film after that.
Categories of our own
Six editorial categories we apply to every performer we cover.
Most rewatchable
Teasing Master Takagi-san: The Movie
as Takagi-san (voice)
The one that survives a fourth viewing. Nothing in the performance depends on surprise, which is why it keeps paying out.
Most emotional performance
100 METERS
as Asakusa (voice)
Grief played at conversational volume. The film never asks the audience to cry; the performance simply makes it difficult not to.
Most influential performance
Teasing Master Takagi-san: The Movie
as Takagi-san (voice)
You can hear this reading in other actors' auditions a decade later — the surest measure of influence there is.
Best ensemble performance
Pretty Cure All Stars F
as Mirai Asahina / Cure Miracle (voice)
Work that makes everyone else in the frame better without ever pulling the camera towards itself.
Career defining performance
Teasing Master Takagi-san: The Movie
as Takagi-san (voice)
If the career had to be argued in a single scene, our editors would pick one from this film and rest the case.
In their films' words
“You can build a whole film around a performer who knows when not to speak. Rie Takahashi has known it for a long time.”

Ours alone
Recognitions handed out by this desk, on criteria no awards body uses.

Our desk
Best ending, best opening, best twist and the rest — categories we apply to everyone we cover.
Best ending
The Girl from the Other Side
as Shiva (voice)
The last five minutes reorganise everything before them, and hold up when you already know what's coming.
Best opening
Pretty Cure All Stars F
as Mirai Asahina / Cure Miracle (voice)
A first sequence that states the rules of the film without explaining a single one of them.
Most emotional
You, Fireworks, and Our Promise
as Haru (voice)
The film where the technique steps aside and lets the feeling arrive undefended.
Best twist
The Girl from the Other Side
as Shiva (voice)
A reversal earned by information the film gave you and trusted you to misread.
Best visual achievement
Pretty Cure All Stars F
as Mirai Asahina / Cure Miracle (voice)
Images that would survive with the sound switched off.
Best action sequence
Pretty Cure All Stars F
as Mirai Asahina / Cure Miracle (voice)
Geography, stakes and consequence held in the same frame — spectacle you can follow.
Best dialogue
Blue Thermal
as Kaori Mochida (voice)
Lines written to be spoken, staged so the pauses do half the work.
Most underrated film
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Eternal the Movie Part 2
as VesVes / Sailor Vesta (voice)
The public vote sits below ours on this one, and the direction is the reason for the gap.
