Kyo Ra (Vanesu Samunyai) Age, Birthday, Boyfriend, Height, Parents & More

Vanesu Samunyai (Kyo Ra) (born on April 23, 2001) is a 21 years old England-born actress of Zimbabwean origin. In 2022, this young girl became famous after becoming part of Neil Gaiman’s fantasy-horror series “Sandman,” in which Vanesu performed the role of Rose Walker alongside Tom Sturridge.

To all our readers, we want to tell you that this is Kyo’s first major project because before “Sandman,” she never worked on “The Great” and Äyanna’s music video “Party Tricks,” but before being an actor, she wanted to become a choreographer, and there is no doubt that she is a flawless dancer.

Apart from acting, she is an art lover and skilled in making music, painting, and dance, and now, after getting massive success with her work in Sandman, it will be interesting to see what big project she will work on next.

What is Kyo Ra’s Nationality?

Vanesu Danai Palesa Shoniwa-Samunyai, aka Kyo Ra (age 21), was born on April 23, 2001, to her parents in the Warwickshire Region of England. Our research found that Kyo’s father and mother are Zimbabweans who immigrated to the UK in the 90s. She spent her childhood until schooling in her hometown, but after that, she moved to Seoul, Korea.

While in Korea, she worked on her artistic skills and tried to explore the art of drama. There is still a lot of information about Ra that is not available, but our sources are trying to find it.

Active on Social Media

Danai is a social-media junkie. She loves to share moments from her life with others. Her Instagram handle has less than 1000 followers, but this count will soon skyrocket. In April 2020, Kyo started a YouTube channel named “Kyo Ra 2,” where she posted random videos a few times. The last video she uploaded was on June 13, 2021, and we suspect she will not post anything on YouTube anytime soon.

How did Kyo Ra get her first acting job?

While in Korea, Kyo Ra wrote songs to grow as a songwriter. Besides, she was also doing auditions for different openings; she began her career in November 2018 by receiving her first acting job as an extra on The Great, a tv show starring Elle Fan­ning.

After making her debut in “The Great,” she spent the following six months working day and night to refine her abilities, pose for projects, and book her next job, but until May of 2019, Kyo Ra didn’t get another job, Although her life changed when she signed with her first acting agency “Iden­tity Agency Group.”

One day she was in her hometown when her manager Ikki El-Amriti told her about auditions for a Neil Gaiman show; Samunyai did not think much and appeared for the audition. Luckily, Gaiman loved Vanesu’s performance and selected her for the part of Rose Walker in “Sandman.”

According to our sources, recently, a production house approached Ra for a significant role. Yet the full details are not out, but soon we will provide you with the complete information.
