Sakura Nogawa

Sakura Nogawa (野川 さくら, Nogawa Sakura, born March 1, 1978 in Toyohashi, Aichi) is a Japanese voice actor and singer affiliated with Office Anemone. She used to be associated with RAMS and Retreat.

Nogawa made her foray into voice acting after winning the grand prize for an audition held by Enix. After going through some twists and turns, she found herself enrolled in a vocational school and eventually found work with RAMS. Beforehand, the young woman had recently graduated from Yoyogi Animation Academy.

Although Nogawa made a name for herself within the dubbing industry, she was forced to go on hiatus in August 16, 2013 due to poor health. She resumed work on September 20, 2014. Two and a half years later, Nogawa left Retreat, her agency at the time, and received an invitation from Kikuko Inoue's sister to join Office Anemone on February 1, 2017.

Nogawa's hobbies are aromatherapy, nail art, walking, playing with cats, and shopping. She is also skilled in cooking and bread making. One of Nogawa's most distinct traits is her sociability with other voice actors. She is close friends with Rie Tanaka and Saeko Chiba, often communicating with them on various media.

For many fans, Nogawa is best known for her convincing tsundere or idol girl portrayals, the latter being more prominent due to the voice actor's singing abilities. She has lent her performances to characters such as Hinaichigo in Rozen Maiden, Erica Hartmann in the Strike Witches series, and Tarisa Manandal in Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse.
