Biography
Akari Harashima, a native of Hokkaido, was born on 9 March 1990.[2] As an elementary school student, she decided to pursue a career as a voice actor after her older sister, an anime lover, said that it was an interesting career. Although there was a voice acting school in her prefecture of origin, she planned to move to Tokyo, which her mother vetoed until the former was in junior high school.[3]
Harashima entered the Amusement Media Academy as a 15th generation student while studying in high school.[4][3] She joined Aoni Production in 2010, and after spending some time as a freelancer joined Tokyo Actor's Consumer's Cooperative Society in 2015.[1] In May 2019, she was cast as Megumi Sasahara in Fire in His Fingertips.[5]
Harashima voices Iku Nakatani in The Idolmaster Million Live!, a spin-off of The Idolmaster franchise. As part of the franchise, she performed as part of the quartet TIntMe! in the 2021 single "The Idolmaster Million Theater Wave 13: TIntMe!" (which charted at #9 in the Oricon Singles Chart).[6] She reprised the role in Million Live's 2023 anime adaptation.[7]
Harashima was the vocalist of a musical group called "ChocoNekoB" (styled chocoNekoβ).[8] In March 2018, the group's agency TA-Link's announced that the group's activities had been indefinitely suspended.[9]
Harashima is a certified food sanitation manager.[1] One of her hobbies is collecting Kutusita Nyanko merchandise.[1]
