Kimiko Elizabeth Glenn was born and raised in Phoenix, AZ, where she grew up with
her sister Amanda, and parents Mark and Sumiko. She started doing
theater when she was ten years old at Valley Youth Theatre and there,
began developing her love for performing.
Halfway through her freshman year of college at the Boston
Conservatory, she was cast in the 1st National Tour of Spring
Awakening. After touring for two years, she finally settled her life in
New York.
Since then, she starred as the title role in La Jolla Playhouse's
"Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots", directed by Des McAnuff; and played
the bratty Princess Ssu-Ming in the Playhouse's production of
"The Nightingale", directed by Moisés Kaufman. She was honored to perform at
the Delacorte Theater for Shakespeare in the Park, in The Public's
"Love's Labour's Lost", directed by Alex Timbers. She had a blast
originating the role of Emily in the Off-Broadway production of
Julianne Moore's Freckleface Strawberry and is proud of the many
exciting projects she has been a part of. Favorites include: Behind the
Painting written by Maltby & Shire; Plop, written by Bare's Damon
Intrabartolo; Yeast Nation from the creators of Urintetown at the NY
Fringe festival '11; Crossing Over as part of the National Asian
Artists' Project; and the staged reading of Cheer Wars -- her very
first New York job.
Kimiko has also appeared in feature films Construction (2021); Nous York (2012); and
Hair Brained (2013) starring Brendan Fraser & Parker Posey; and the
movie-musical short, Galaxy Comics, by director Kevin McMullin. You may
have seen her in the 2011 Disney/ABC Diversity Showcase directed by Ted
Sluberski and Joe Ward. She was thrilled to shoot NBCUniversal's
half-hour comedy pilot Holding Patterns; and will be joining the cast
of Orange Is the New Black (2013), a Netflix series, as Brook Soso.
