Biography
While enrolled in the Department of Theater at Nihon University’s College of Arts, she joined theater company NOISE, led by Koharu Kisaragi.
In an interview with the Tokyo Medical Association's public relations magazine Genki ga Iine, she explained that she studied theater because she had originally dreamed of becoming an elementary school teacher and thought it could be applied to education, also sharing that her passion for expression grew through her theater troupe activities.
With encouragement from Kisaragi, who was also her mentor, she pursued a path as a voice actress after graduating from university and officially joined Aoni Production.
Since 1988, she has voiced Currypanman in the long-running television anime series Let's Go! Anpanman.
