Kumamoto-native Ai Hashimoto debuted in 2008 via an audition at Sony's Newcome that her mother pushed her to attend. Her mother loves celebrities. She has two sisters with her being the middle one. Her mother believed she is the one daughter who could make it in the audition. Immediately after the audition Ai disbelieved she would win. She began modelling in Seventeen magazine in 2010 and also made her acting debut in that year in Give And Go where she was the main character. She continued with roles in Confessions and Sadako 3D. Ai was awarded the prize as Rookie of The Year at the 36th Japan Academy Program in 2013. She ceased modelling in 2014. Hashimoto likes manga, karaoke and bicycling. She states that while she memorizes her scripts she avoids trying to understand the character from the lines and instead understand the spirit and motivation. Hashimoto is obsessed with eating tomatoes and cites the number three as her favourite. 하시모토 아이(1996년생, Kumamoto, Kumamoto, Japan) 는 배우로, 대표작으로 고백, 기생수 파트1, 리틀 포레스트: 여름과 가을이 있으며, 그 외에도 닌자전대 카쿠레인저, 아마짱, 세고 돈!, KinKi Kidsのブンブブーン, 이다텐 ~도쿄 올림픽 이야기~, 베라보 ~쓰타주 영화의 꿈 이야기~, 소울 메이트, 마이코네 행복한 밥상, 갈증, 신주쿠 야전병원, 디리, 가정교사 토라코 등 다양한 작품에 출연했다. 특히 2026년에는 소울 메이트에도 참여해서 활동중이다.
