Biography
Miku Ito was born on October 12, 1996 in Tokyo, Japan.[5] From a young age, she loved watching plays, including stage plays and TV dramas. While watching TV dramas, she would try to make the same facial expressions as the actresses, imagining what emotions they were feeling and laughing or crying.[6]
While in junior high and high school, Itō had a friend who was a big fan of anime and was very knowledgeable about it, leading her to learn about voice acting as a profession.[6] When she researched it, she discovered that voice actors not only voice anime characters, but also appear in games, TV dramas and stage plays as actors, and are active as singers, and she was impressed by the versatility of the voice acting profession.[6]
Itō later became a trainee at Style Cube and in 2012 she passed Style Cube's 1st Voice Actor Audition.[7] In 2013, she made her voice acting debut as Yuriko Nanao in The Idolmaster Million Live!. In the same year, she joined the StylipS voice acting unit with Moe Toyota, a fellow trainee.[8] Together with Toyota, she made the transition from trainee to permanent member.
In 2014, she debuted in a television anime as Nanako Usami in Locodol.[9] In May 2015, Itō formed a new unit Pyxis with Moe Toyota.[10]
In February 2016, she held her first one-man live performance,[11] and in October 2016 she released her debut single "Awa to Berbane" from Nippon Columbia, making her solo debut as a singer.[12]
Itō departed Style Cube in 2026 and joined Voice Kit.[13][14]
Personal life
Ito Miku enjoys watching anime, dancing, acting, and playing Hyakunin Isshu. Like her character, Yuriko Nanao, she also enjoys reading books, and due to her interest in Japanese language. She majored in Japanese linguistics at university.[15]
She also practices kendo, but her level is still low. She is a fan of sentai hero series, especially Kamen Rider, where her favorite Rider is Den-O.[15] She has two younger brothers.[16]
