Teen actress Nao Minamisawa has been given the lead female role in the movie "Shakariki!," which is based on a Masahito Soda manga about bicycle racing. It was announced last month that the film will star D-BOYS actors Yuya Endo, Yuichi Nakamura, and Hiroki Suzuki.

Minamisawa plays Sakura Nagata, a classmate of the protagonist Teru (Endo). She becomes the manager of their school's bicycle club, which Teru is trying to revive.

The movie, directed by Shinsuke Ono, is scheduled to open in theaters this fall.
