Biography

In 1992, Kanno made her debut as a member of a group called Sakurakko Kurabu Sakura Gumi (trans. Sakurakko Club Sakura Group) after passing the orientation for the TV variety show Sakurakko Kurabu. As a member of the Sakura Gumi, she started to participate actively from the group's second single DO-shite and on. Because the group was one that allowed its members to undertake their own individual endeavors, Kanno increased her level of work outside the variety show, while remaining as a regular in the show.

In 1993, she made her Japanese dorama debut in the drama Twins Kyoshi (Twins Teacher), and has continued to appear in dramas ever since. In 1996, Kanno appeared in her break through drama, as her role as the heroine in the drama called Iguana no Musume (The Iguana's Daughter) is widely acclaimed by critics for her exceptional acting abilities. Although afterwards, she continued to take on lead roles in several TV and live stage dramas, the drama that she appeared in late 1997, called Kimi no Te ga Sasayaiteiru (Your Hand is Whispering) is said to be the most representative of Kanno's work thus far. Her role as a person trying to overcome hearing deficiencies while trying to build a family won the general public opinion vote, which later translated into several awards for her, such as the ATP Award and "Erando-ru New Talent" Award.

Currently while Kanno is mostly focused in acting, she still continues to sing. After the Sakura Gumi disbanded in 1995, she released her first CD Koi wo Shio (Let's Love!), and her first album later in the year. Moreover, she also participated in photography modeling. On her 20th birthday in 1997, her photo album named "NUDITY" went on sale, but for unknown reasons, in the promotional media conference for the photo album's release, she began to shed tears on stage.

Besides starring in dramas, Kanno is also active in variety shows. As of 2005, she has been featured in the Fuji TV variety show Burogu Taipu as a regular on the show.
