Aya's most notable acting role to date is her leading appearance as Yoko in the South Korean movie Fighter in the Wind (2004). Her convincing portrayal of Yoko, the Geisha who falls in love with Korean legendary fighter Masutatsu Oyama, showed how talented Aya had become over such a short period as a professional actress.

Also in 2005, she played the title character Haruka in the highly successful Japanese television drama "Haruka 17". Her success has earned her leading television roles and anime voice-overs as well as significant movie parts that have seen Aya become one of the most sought after young talents in Japanese cinema and television.
She is married to actor Hayami Mokomichi since August 2019. They met while working together on the 2007 drama, Hataraki Man.
