She has been in three productions on Broadway: The King and I, Miss Saigon, and My Fair Lady at Lincoln Center. She is also the English-dubbing voice behind the role of Gin in FX’s ‘Shōgun’.

Minami is also the founder of YU-project, where students and professionals break their limiting beliefs to live their most authentic and fulfilling lives by experiencing the power of the performing arts. YU-project co-organized a side event for the United Nations Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities called “Disability, Diversity and Inclusion: Broadway Master Class” in 2021.
Minami is passionate about collaborating beyond traditional boundaries to make the performing arts accessible to everyone and bring more joy to people’s hearts.
