Career
In 2011, at age 12, Nakayama became an exclusive model for the magazine Pichi Lemon.[4] After seeing photos of Korean model Kaito on a fashion brand website, Nakayama was inspired by their androgynous appearance and began to wear more androgynous clothing, becoming one of the standout female models of Japan's genderless fashion trend.[4]
In 2018, Nakayama made their first television acting appearance in the live-action television adaptation of Chūgakusei Nikki.[5] They later made their film debut in Nunuko no Seisen: Harajuku Story, playing Akihisa Kubo, frontman for the fictional band ORION.[5] In 2019, they played the role of Kaoru in the Y!mobile webseries Parallel School Days, which later gained a theatrical release.[6] In 2020, they appeared in Kamen Rider Zero-One and its direct-to-Blu-ray spin-off series, Project Thouser, as Naki, a character confirmed by producer Takahito Omori to be genderless.[7]
Nakayama was slated to star in the 2020 theatre adaptation of All About J as Rita Barthelme; however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the production was cancelled.
Nakayama is a brand ambassador for unisex clothing brand BLAKICHY and a partner of its sister brand KINGLYMASK. In 2019, they started their own fashion line, Xspada.[8]
