Ami Koshimizu

Ami Koshimizu (小清水 亜美, Koshimizu Ami, born February 15, 1986 in Kokubunji, Tokyo) is a Japanese voice actor, stage actor, and singer. Formerly affiliated with Production Baobab and Axlone, she currently does freelance work in the voice acting industry. Her nicknames are Amisuke, Amikke, and Amiko.

Having decided on acting as a career, Koshimizu joined the theatrical company Gekidan Wakakusa after graduating from her alma mater Aomori Yamada High School. While learning the ropes about drama from the company, one of the senior members there convinced her to pursue voice acting. Another factor that persuaded Koshimizu to switch career paths was that her tall height would not be an issue, something she constantly worried about while in middle school.

She made her official debut in 2003 and eventually gained recognition after winning best actress during the 1st Seiyu Awards. She also started a singing career under the music label Columbia.

Koshimizu is close friends with fellow voice actor Yūko Sanpei. She enjoys visiting Shinto shrines and loves karaoke. When in public, she usually wears contact lenses to correct her vision while using glasses in private.

As a voice actor, Koshimizu's performances usually comprise of headstrong women or younger boys, though she is just as capable of playing adorable characters by raising her own vocal pitch. She is known for her roles as Kallen Kōzuki in Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, Yukiko Amagi in Persona 4, and Rosa Ushiromiya in Umineko no Naku Koro ni.
