Action  Performer

Growing up Martial Arts has shaped her “never give up” attitude and to fight to achieve any goal. She was able to transfer her passion into film, TV, stage & music videos. 

Andreas Petrides - Action Director & Stunt Coordinator

Emiko apart from other performers who I have worked with. Her ability to transform for every performance showed me a range and skill level that is highly uncommon in our industry. After working together with her on BBC Giri/Haji , I have no doubt that she is one of the top performers in the industry. In fact, due to her excellence, we have recognized Emiko by selecting her to represent The British Action Academy agency as a performer on numerous occasions. In doing so, she has always represented the organization to the highest standards and has always received great feedback from projects including Pukka Films, The Great, The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself, Embankment.

From a young age, Emiko was captivated by the thrill of action films, where every kick and punch told a story of strength and resilience. With an unyielding passion for martial arts, she set out to merge her skills in this dynamic field with her love for film and television. Emiko’s dedication to mastering martial arts, along with her expertise in firearms, motion capture, wirework  and weaponry, has opened numerous doors for her as an action and stunt artist across various media. Martial arts became not just a passion, but the bridge between her love of performance and her drive to push limits.
