Marina Inoue

Marina Inoue (井上 麻里奈, Inoue Marina, born January 20, 1985 in Tokyo) is a Japanese voice actor and singer affiliated with Aoni Production. Formerly affiliated with Aniplex and Sigma Seven, she has been a part of the dubbing industry since 2004.

Born from a well-to-do family, Inoue was given a thorough education via Kumon method. While studying political science at Gakushuin University, she made her debut as a voice actor after being chosen among 2,000 contestants in the Sony Music SD Group Seiyu Audition. Her singing career began the same year, though she has since focused more on voice overs.

Inoue is quite skilled at drawing and has even provided eye-catch sketches for some of the anime she has appeared in. Her other hobbies include basketball and karaoke. She was once a junior classmate of Tetsuya Kakihara during their university days and has a brother two years older than her.

Inoue is able to assume a variety of different roles, though fans recognize her action-oriented characters the most. For her young male or tomboyish female roles, she uses more throaty deliveries to better convey rough speech patterns. She has voiced Chiri Kitsu in Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei, Nana in DARLING in the FRANXX, and Alicia Melchiott in the Valkyria Chronicles series.
