Atsuko Okatsuka

Atsuko Okatsuka is a global stand-up comedian and actress whose highly anticipated sophomore stand-up special will premiere in 2025 on Hulu and internationally on Disney+. This new special follows the success of her critically acclaimed debut, THE INTRUDER (HBO), which was named the “Best Debut Special of 2022” by The New York Times and one of the “Best Specials of 2022” by Vulture and Variety. Clips from THE INTRUDER have gone viral, amassing over 100 million views on social media. Currently, Atsuko is captivating sold-out, worldwide audiences on her FULL GROWN tour, performing over 200 shows in 100+ cities, 20+ countries, four continents, and selling over 100K tickets. She was recently named one of the top performing acts of 2025 by NIVA’s “Live List”.

In addition to her stand-up success, Atsuko voiced the character of Yuri in SPIDER-VERSE: ACROSS THE UNIVERSE and starred in two films that premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival: ALL THAT WE LOVE, directed by Yen Tan, and GROUP THERAPY, directed by Neil Berkely and produced by Kevin Hart’s Hartbeat Productions. This June, she will make her Pixar debut by voicing the character of Ambassador Naos in the feature film ELIO, and in December she will appear alongside Jonah Hill and Keanu Reeves in the highly anticipated studio comedy OUTCOME (Apple+).

Atsuko’s infectious joy and fun loving shenanigans have catapulted her to global stardom. A master of trending moments, she has created many viral videos, including her presentation at The Unforgettable Gala (100M+ views), her saving a couple from breaking up during her stand-up show, and her creation of the #DropChallenge, which brought Beyoncé’s song Partition back on the charts. Atsuko leaves a lasting impression wherever she goes, with fans often attending her shows in wigs mimicking her iconic bowl cut.

Named one of Variety’s “10 Comics to Watch for 2022”, Atsuko made her late-night stand-up debut on THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH JAMES CORDEN, with Vulture proclaiming she had “won late-night.” Other on-screen credits include HISTORY OF THE WORLD PT. II (Hulu) and ROOM 104 (HBO). Recently, Atsuko was featured on THIS AMERICAN LIFE with Ira Glass, where she shared her story of immigrating to the U.S. with her grandmother, who raised her, and future co-creator of the viral #DropChallenge, which has since garnered more than 10 million views. Atsuko’s unique upbringing has shaped her artfully offbeat and resilient persona– perfectly embodied by her signature blunt bangs and bowl cut.

Atsuko has collaborated with global brands such as Apple, Amazon Prime, Genesis, Kind Bar, Secret Deodorant, Kikori Whiskey and more. With her upcoming special, she joins the “Hularious” comedy brand, alongside other renowned comics like Jim Gaffigan, Bill Burr, Roy Wood Jr., and Ilana Glazer.
