John Wick 4 star Rina Sawayama is reprising her role as Akira in Donnie Yen's upcoming spin-off Caine, Variety reports.

In 2023's John Wick: Chapter 4, Akira was the concierge at the Osaka Continental and the daughter of Shimazu Koji, played by Hiroyuki Sanada, the manager of the hotel and an old friend of John Wick (Keanu Reeves).

In John Wick 4, Caine was an assassin forced out of retirement to kill John Wick by the Marquis (Bill Skarsgård), who threatened to kill his daughter if he didn't finish the job. In the process, he reluctantly kills Koji after John seeks refuge at the Osaka Continental but spares Akira, and the movie's post-credits scene sees her confronting Caine and out for venegeance.
