Fan Casting Lady Miyako in Akira: Part 1

Subject 19, the oldest surviving Esper, now a blind prophetess living in a temple that will survive the coming apocalypse. Miyako performs a flawless tea ceremony while explaining, with glacial calm, that the city will fall and Akira will rise. Her legendary stillness and hypnotic voice make scenes transcendent. The single tear that rolls down her cheek from behind dark glasses is the film's quietest, most devastating moment. She is the bridge between the human world and the cosmic horror to come.
