10. Rila Fukushima (The Wolverine, Arrow)

Fukushima didn’t have a big role on Game of Thrones; she played a Red Priestess in Volantis, spotted by Tyrion and Varys while they were on their way to Meereen. You may have wondered why she looked so familiar.

Fukushima is probably best known by American audiences for her work on superhero movies like 2013’s The Wolverine, where she starred opposite Hugh Jackman as the mutant Yukio, a deadly assassin with the handy (and troubling) ability to foresee how people will die.

Fukushima also appears in the popular television show Arrow, playing expert martial artist Tatsu Yamashiro, aka Katana. She has a strong personality and cares deeply for her family, although she can be rude to outsiders.

As far as we know, Fukushiro’s Game of Thrones character is alive and well. Could we see her again? Melisandre did say that was headed back to Volantis before returning to Westeros, so anything is possible…
