About

Nana Okada (岡田奈々, Okada Nana; born November 7, 1997) is a Japanese singer-songwriter and actor. She is a former member of the girl groups AKB48 and STU48. She was a fixture on AKB48's major single lineups from 2016 to 2022 and is considered one of the best singers to have been part of the group.

Okada joined AKB48 in 2012, and since 2016 has been part of the group's main lineup, performing in all the title tracks of their singles, including twice as lead singer. From 2017 to 2022, she was concurrently a member of AKB48's fifth Japan-based sister group STU48, based in Setouchi region, and served as captain since its founding until 2020. She was a finalist in all the AKB48 Group No. 1 Singing Competitions, taking first place in the fourth event in 2022, and has released two solo songs as part of AKB48's releases. She has held solo concerts in 2018 and 2022 and a duo concert with fellow AKB48 member Yuiri Murayama in 2020. She was signed to Avex Asunaro from 2021 to 2025, and after leaving AKB48 in 2023, she has released the solo albums Asymmetry (2023), Contrust (2024), and Unformel (2025), writing all of the lyrics herself. In 2026, she reunited with Yuiri Murayama in the duo Yunaris.
As an actor, Okada has appeared in several AKB48 television series and starred in stage productions such as Majimuri Gakuen (2018), its sequel Majimuri Gakuen: Loudness (2021), and an all-female stage adaptation of Battles Without Honor and Humanity (2019). After joining Avex Asunaro, Okada has appeared in productions outside the group, such as the television series Stolen Love, High School Teacher (2021) and the stage musical adaptation of Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic (2022).
