Biography

edit

She is popular as a radio actress who wears glasses. She is also known for portraying meganekko characters on a regular basis. Her nickname is 舞太 (Maita). She came up with this nickname when she was trying to register an email address and "mai" was in already in use so she opted for "maita".[citation needed] On January 21, 2007, she announced on her website that she will rename herself 門脇舞以, which has the same pronunciation as her previous name.

In September 2009, a crazed fan who had threatened her in a letter was arrested. The letters were sent to Kadowaki's agency.[2] On February 26, 2013, she announced on her website that she got married.[3] On December 1, 2013, Kadowaki announced that she gave birth to her first child.[4]

On November 20, 2018, she announced on her blog on Saturday that she is now a "single parent". Kadowaki did not write about the specific circumstances that led to her raising her children alone. Kadowaki wrote that she and her children moved into a new home in the spring and she thanked her friends for helping with the move. She asked that her friends come and visit her family any time. She plans to continue with work as usual and is utilizing a babysitter and one of Japan's Child Family Support Centers.
