Rie Murakawa

Rie Murakawa (村川 梨衣, Murakawa Rie, born June 1, 1990 in Saitama) is a Japanese voice actor and radio personality who has been affiliated with Stay Luck since October 1, 2020. She began her career in 2011 and used to be represented by Haikyo. Her solo debut as a singer occurred on June 1, 2016 under the Nippon Columbia record label. She is sometimes called Rieshon by fans and peers.

As the middle child of her family, Murakawa had always loved magical girl shows like Sailor Moon and Magic Knight Rayearth. She began to turn her attention to voice acting after watching Hunter × Hunter during the fifth grade. Impressed by Yuki Kaida's performance as Kurapika, she tried to find ways to audition for voice over roles, but had been stopped by her parents who agreed to let her do so once she finished school.

Although Murakawa initially joined the theater club in junior high to improve her acting skills, she ended up switching to the basketball club instead. She tried to take up theater again in high school, this time sticking with the club due to it being more active and fulfilling. Upon graduating, she enrolled in Human Academy and later Haikyo's voice acting school for additional training.

Murakawa began her voice over career doing support roles. Eventually she was given bigger parts in 2013, with one of them being for Hunter × Hunter: Phantom Rouge which delighted her immensely as the series had been her inspiration for entering the dubbing industry. She also hosted various radio programs such as Etotama Radio ~Soruraru Kure Nya!~ which earned her awards for Best Funny Radio and Best Comfort Radio during the 2nd Aniraji Awards. While Murakawa has many friends in her profession, she is more close to fellow voice actor Aya Uchida.

Often assigned adorable female roles, Murakawa's roles to date include characters such as Yui Kurata in Trinity Seven, Tiona Hiryute in Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, and Est in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia.
