Manaki Reika is a Japanese actress and former Top Musumeyaku (female lead) of Takarazuka Revue’s Moon Troupe. She was born in Sakai City, Fukui Prefecture, Japan. She is currently signed with Amuse. Her nickname, Chapi, originates from the sound of her real name.
She entered Takarazuka Music School in 2007 and joined the Takarazuka Revue in 2009 as part of the 95th class, initially performing as an Otokoyaku (male-role actress) before transitioning to a Musumeyaku (female role) in 2011. After an impressive six years and seven months as a Top Musumeyaku, she retired from Takarazuka in November 2018 following the Tokyo performance of Elisabeth, making her tenure the third longest in Takarazuka history for a Top Musumeyaku, following Hanafusa Mari and Haruka Kurara.
In December of the same year, she signed with Amuse and resumed her entertainment career. Her post-Takarazuka debut came in 2019 with the Toho musical Elisabeth, where she reprised the title role from her farewell performance. Expanding her career into television, she made her drama debut in 2021 with "Seiten wo Tsuke".
