Tokyo Hunter - Nat -thai Celebrity In Hardcore ... Now

Tokyo Hunter Seasons 1 & 2 are available on Amazon Prime Video (Southeast Asia, Japan, and select international markets) with Thai, Japanese, and English subtitles. Season 3 is set to begin production in late 2025, with rumors of a crossover episode featuring a Thai action legend — possibly Tony Jaa or JeeJa Yanin.

Nat has also announced she will direct one episode in Season 3, focusing on the backstory of a Thai trans woman working as a hostess in Kabukicho — a character inspired by real interviews Nat conducted during her Tokyo immersion.

Before Tokyo Hunter, Nat (full name Natthamon “Nat” Chindawong) was best known for her roles in Thai lakorns (soap operas) like Fragrant Love and Twilight in Bangkok. With a graceful screen presence and emotional depth, she was typecast as the gentle daughter or tragic lover. Tokyo Hunter - Nat -Thai Celebrity in hardcore ...

But behind the scenes, Nat had been training in Muay Thai since age 12 and practiced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for five years. When Japanese director Kenji Saito saw her sparring video on Instagram, he knew she was perfect for his uncompromising vision: a hardcore action series shot entirely on location in Tokyo’s most dangerous districts — Kabukicho, Kamagasaki, and the abandoned tunnels under Shibuya.

“Nat doesn’t act like a fighter — she is a fighter. When she breaks a man’s arm on screen, you feel it because she really knows how to do it.” — Kenji Saito, director of Tokyo Hunter Tokyo Hunter Seasons 1 & 2 are available

In the first season (8 episodes), Nat’s Ariya arrives in Tokyo searching for her missing younger brother, a student who vanished after getting involved with a shady “host club” in Shinjuku. She discovers a network of human trafficking connected to a yakuza offshoot called “The Silent Syndicate.”

Each episode features one hardcore fight sequence, but Episode 5 — Train to Ikebukuro — went viral. In it, Ariya fights four men in a moving commuter train car, using seat belts, luggage, and a bento chopstick as weapons. The scene was filmed guerrilla-style on a real Tokyo Metro train at 2 a.m. with permission, but actual passengers were used as extras, not knowing which moments were choreographed. “Nat doesn’t act like a fighter — she is a fighter

The series currently holds a 94% audience score on MyDramaList and has been greenlit for a third season, with Nat co-producing and co-writing the fight choreography.

Unlike most action fare, Tokyo Hunter explores themes of exile, identity, and the human cost of revenge. Nat’s character speaks three languages (Thai, Japanese, English) and navigates being a perpetual outsider — a commentary on the Thai diaspora in Japan.
