Hana Sugisaki (Chie's daughter?)

[Nekko Basara]

A recent Google search for Chie Kajiura turned up something I'd never seen before - the apparent identity of her daughter (as well as the daughter's father).

18-year-old Hana Sugisaki seems to be a an up-and-coming young actress who was already fairly successful as a child, using her mother's surname at that time.

Is this news to anyone else? All I'd ever encountered previously was that, following M7, Chie largely dropped off the radar for a decade while she focused on raising a child.

Yeah, we did talk about it on the podcast a while back. This is her, if you want to know what she looks like:
