While she has had a spectacular career, including winning the Kazue Takahashi Award at the 16th Seiyu Award in 2022, she has also experienced many hardships, including a crisis in her life as a voice actress. Looking back on her tumultuous life, we asked her to share her thoughts on voice acting.

Sakura Taisen," in which she played the main role, was the first of the 2.5-dimensional stage.
