Biography
Yahagi, a native of Tokyo, was born on September 22, 1986. As a child, she was particularly fond of Sailor Moon and would often play pretend games related to the show. She intended to become a mangaka and felt self-conscious about her high-pitched voice, but decided to become a voice actress after learning about the job in junior high. She graduated from the Japan Narration Acting Institute.
In 2005, Yahagi debuted as a voice actress as Karin Maaka, the main protagonist of Chibi Vampire. She voiced Haruna Sairenji in To Love Ru and its sequel To Love Ru Darkness, as well as in some of the franchise's video games; she and Haruka Tomatsu as their characters Haruna and Lala Satalin Deviluke performed "Yatte Koi Daisuki" and "Apple Panic", the opening and ending themes of the 2009 To Love Ru OVAs which were released as a single in March 2009. She also voiced several major characters in other anime, such as Kuu Shiratori in Shattered Angels, Maaya Nanako in Kenkō Zenrakei Suieibu Umishō, Haruka Shiraishi in Chu-Bra!!, Kaya Miyoshi in Bakuman, Elizabeth Warren in Softenni, Kodama Himegami in Maken-ki!, and Suzu Hagimura in Seitokai Yakuindomo.
In 2018, Yahagi voiced Ani Inako, the main protagonist of Dame×Prince Anime Caravan; Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network remarked that as Ani, Yahagi "balanced things out with her understated performance" in the show. She subsequently starred as Maho Hiyajo in Steins;Gate 0, Amane Katagiri in Senryu Girl, Momoka Momozono in Super HxEros, and Ganryū Sasaki in Shin Ikki Tousen. She and Kana Ueda appeared at a Sony Xperia panel at the Tokyo Game Show 2019.
