Go Ayano co-stars in Keisuke Yoshida's film Mentor as the character Nonomoto. The film opened in Japan on October 16 and won the NETPAC Best Asian Film award at the 42nd Warsaw International Film Festival.
Go Ayano's current work is all on one film: Mentor, directed by Keisuke Yoshida. He is billed as a co-star behind leads Hayato Isomura and Seiya Suezawa, and he plays Nonomoto, one of three characters the film's promotion was built around.
That promotion ran before release. Three character PVs went out through the film's official social media ahead of the October 16 opening, one each for Ryunosuke (Isomura), Takumi (Suezawa), and Nonomoto (Ayano). The film follows two men who reunite after 15 years with a victim of a fire they caused as boys.
Coverage then moved to festivals. Mentor played in competition at the 42nd Warsaw International Film Festival, which runs October 9 to 18, with a screening on October 10, and was also selected for Taiwan's 26th Kaohsiung Film Festival, running October 9 to 26. At Warsaw the film held its world premiere, with screenings on October 10 and 11 drawing over 200 people and Yoshida attending both Q&As.
The release itself, on 204 screens, drew 103,822 admissions and 161.64 million yen over four days. Mentor also took the NETPAC Best Asian Film award at Warsaw, where jurors cited its treatment of forgiveness. For Ayano, the record across these stories is a supporting role in a film that has both a domestic opening and a festival prize behind it.
