Megu Umezawa (梅澤 めぐ, Umezawa Megu; born May 12[1]) is a Japanese voice actress from Hokkaido, Japan, who is affiliated with the Tokyo Actor's Consumer's Cooperative Society.
In April 2020, she joined the Tokyo Actor Consumers' Cooperative Association.[1][2] In the same year, she moved to Tokyo from Hokkaido.[3] In September of the same year, her official Twitter account was opened,[4] and on the same day, she announced on Twitter that she would be playing the role of Akari Tsujino in The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls.[5] The character she played, "Akari Tsujino", won the Top 20 Words Award (18th place) in the "Internet Buzzwords 100 2020", and she appeared at the awards ceremony on behalf of the character.[6]

Personality
In her official profile, she lists soccer and ball-jumping as her special skills, and drawing, making french fries, and listening to and answering people's problems as her hobbies.[1] She has been playing soccer for about 7–8 years since she was in the second grade of elementary school, and even served as captain of her club. When she was a soccer girl, she had a very short haircut and was tanned, so she was sometimes mistaken for a boy.[9] She was the weekly narrator for DAZN's "Yabechi Stadium," which aired on June 26, 2022, and was able to work on soccer-related jobs.[10]
Her first work as a voice actress was The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls. According to her co-star Miyu Tomita, she came to the set shaking, and her hands were shaking even when reading the script.[3]
