From her rising career to her off-screen relationships, here’s everything fans are dying to know

Hanako Greensmith Is Not Married—And She Likes It That Way

As of 2025, Chicago Fire actress Hanako Greensmith is not married—and has never been. While her on-screen role as Violet Mikami continues to evolve through complex romances and emotional traumas, Greensmith herself keeps her real-life relationships firmly out of the spotlight.

Her low-profile approach to dating has only fueled curiosity. Despite frequent searches and speculation, Hanako remains happily single and focused on her career.

What About Her Dating Life?

Greensmith has never publicly confirmed a romantic partner. In 2019 and 2020, she shared Instagram photos with an unidentified man, prompting fan speculation. However, those posts stopped, and there’s been no official follow-up.

Fans have also speculated about her bond with Chicago Fire co-star Daniel Kyri. Their off-screen chemistry has sparked dating rumors, especially after Hanako posted a glowing birthday tribute to Kyri in 2024. But both actors have confirmed they’re just close friends.

“We’re close enough that I literally had the most fun I’ve had in a while playing Yahtzee with them,” Greensmith told Tell-Tale TV in 2022.

What We Know About Her Sexuality

Though Hanako hasn’t publicly labeled her sexuality, fans have noted her support for the LGBTQ+ community. In June 2023, she posted a Pride-themed photo with the caption, “The signs were always there… happy pride baby.”

Earlier, in April 2021, she honored Trans Day of Visibility with a post supporting trans rights, saying:
“Today (and every day!) we celebrate the trans people in our lives, as well as their newly reinstated right to serve their country.”

While some fans interpret these as hints about her identity, Hanako has not made any official personal statements.

Career Highlights and On-Screen Chemistry

Greensmith joined Chicago Fire in 2020 as paramedic Violet Mikami and quickly became a fan favorite. She’s also appeared in Chicago Med, FBI, and the sci-fi project Cave XR.

Her portrayal of Violet has been marked by intense emotional arcs, particularly the tragic romance with Evan Hawkins and the complex “almost” relationship with firefighter Sam Carver. In season 14, Violet reflects on Carver’s exit:

“We got to tell each other how we really felt. Most people never get that chance.”

She now works alongside new paramedic partner Lizzie Novak (played by Jocelyn Hudon), and their professional bond has grown into a true friendship.

Personal Background and Talents

Hanako was born on November 17, 1996, in Los Angeles, California. Her father, Clive Greensmith, is a classical cellist, and her mother, Chizuko Ishikawa, is a violinist. She trained in music, voice, and dance, and graduated from Pace University with a BFA in Musical Theatre in 2018.

She’s also a cellist herself—and even wrote a musical called Halona and Ophelia while in college.
