Karina Bautista has made remarkable strides since her debut audition on “Star Hunt.” At just 22 years old, she has blossomed into an influential actress and established a dynamic presence on social media. But there’s much more to Karina than her on-screen persona. For starters, her full name is Karina Bautista Nakagawa, reflecting her rich heritage, as she is half-Japanese and proudly Ilocano. A lover of all things delicious, Karina has a particular fondness for green mangoes. She shares her home with her pet French bulldog, Billy, and recently welcomed an adopted Aspin named Stella into the family.

Though she dabbles in cooking, baking isn’t her forte, and she often finds herself navigating her kitchen with creativity and enthusiasm. An adventurous spirit, Karina thrives on adrenaline, always seeking new experiences. Despite her adventurous side, she faces a challenge with her eyesight, which makes it difficult for her to see properly, even during interviews. Recently, she has been trying to rekindle her love for reading after taking a break and has also committed to staying hydrated, emphasizing the importance of drinking plenty of water.

As she embraces her twenties, Karina humorously refers to this phase as entering her "tita" era, a nod to the maturity she’s starting to feel. While she pursues her passion for acting, she’s also studying multimedia arts at Enderun, blending her creative talents with her academic endeavors. With her infectious personality and down-to-earth charm, Karina is undoubtedly a rising star to watch in the entertainment industry.
