ALIKONA
SHIZUE

SUNSHINE WITH A BITE

Castability...

Alikona is a warm, colorful, and emotionally grounded actor often cast as capable underdogs, quirky professionals, and heart-forward women with an unexpected edge. She's known for blending sunshine energy with emotional intensity, athletic confidence, and grounded humor. Strong fit for comedy-drama, action-adjacent, and genre worlds. Think essence of Angelina Jolie; smart, tough, & agile, but with the quirky relatability of Reese Witherspoon.

RESUME

" Alikona can change the temperature of a room! She's warm and bubbly, but cross her the wrong way-- she's cold and lethal."
