Ana Carolina Soares "Carol" Nakamura (born 9 May 1983, in Rio de Janeiro) is a Brazilian dancer, actress, and television personality.
For twelve years, Nakamura was a member of the popular Brazilian television show Domingão do Faustão, on TV Globo. She started off in the mid-2000s as a ballet dancer in the show and eventually became one of the co-presenters with Fausto Silva. Nakamura left the show in April 2016 as she decided to shift her focus to acting. In September 2016, Nakamura returned to the show as a judge.
Nakamura starred as Hiromi in the Brazilian drama Sol Nascente, which contained a large sub-plot focused on Brazilian-Japanese society.
In addition to dancing and television, Nakamura is also a theater actor, taking part in several productions. She made her debut in a comedy in September 2017.
Nakamura, of Japanese descent, says that she experienced some ridicule and bullying in her youth because of her Asian heritage. Nakamura became a mother at the age of 16.
From 2014 to 2017, she has been in a relationship with Brazilian footballer Aislan. The two did eventually get engaged in January 2017.
In June 2017, the actress and her then eighteen-year-old son Juan Nakamura drew public attention during an appearance together at a shopping mall, where observers mistook the mother and son for a couple.
In October 2017, Nakamura broke up with Aislan and called the wedding off.
