Kutsuna was born in Killarney Heights, Sydney to Japanese parents. She lived in Australia until the age of 14 before moving to Japan to pursue a career as a model and actress. In 2011, Kutsuna graduated from Horikoshi High School, alongside fellow actresses Mayuko Kawakita and Riko Narumi. In 2013, she dropped out of college before starting her third year, for the sake of her career. Her agency said, "It really was difficult for her to work while going to school. She had a hard time attending classes due to her work in dramas. She accepted this and dropped out. She will now be focusing on her acting career".

In 2006, she traveled to Japan from Sydney during her school winter break. While there, she took part in the 2006 Japan Bishōjo Contest hosted by the talent agency Oscar Promotion, and she went on to win the Judge’s Prize. In 2009, she obtained her first major starring role, playing the part of Tsugumi Nitobe in 70 000 People Detective Nitobe, an ordinary college student who has 70,000 friends on the Internet and solves difficult cases by using their brains. In 2011, she was cast to play Ran Mori in a special drama for the live-action of Detective Conan, a popular manga series written by Gosho Aoyama. She replaced Tomoka Kurokawa, who played Ran in the previous specials in 2006 and 2007. In 2012, she was named Best New Actress of 2011 by film magazine Kinema Junpo. In 2015, she appeared in two leading roles as Haru/Harumi in the Japanese-Turkish co-production 125 Years Memory. Originally only focusing her career in Japan, she was encouraged by director Wayne Wang, whom she worked with on a 2016 film, to "try breaking into Hollywood", so she gradually began expanding her work overseas. She played mutant Yuki "Yukio" ("Yuki O.") Ohara in the 2018 film Deadpool 2, the eleventh installment of the X-Men film series. She reprised the role in the 2024 Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) sequel Deadpool & Wolverine. In 2021, she appeared in the first season of Apple TV+ series Invasion, the second season which premiered in August 2023, and the third season of 2025. In 2022, it was revealed that she would appear in Hideo Kojima's 2025 videogame Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. She plays the character Rainy. Since 2024, Kutsuna has based her acting career in America while also continuing to appear in Japanese productions.
