Inori Minase

Inori Minase (水瀬 いのり, Minase Inori, born December 2, 1995 in Tokyo) is a Japanese voice actor, singer, and narrator affiliated with Axlone. She joined the dubbing industry some time in 2010.

When she was just in kindergarten, Minase fell in love with animated shows like Sailor Moon and Detective Conan. After watching a stage play adaptation of a particular anime, her interests shifted to voice acting which she only heard about upon inquiring her parents the names listed in the play's pamphlet. This made her want to pursue it as a potential career, even listing it down as part of an assignment in elementary school.

Although Minase became involved in both tennis and theater due to her love for The Prince of Tennis, the young girl refrained from prolonging her stay with the drama club due to stage fright. However, she was brave enough to enter a voice acting audition sponsored by Sony after being handed a magazine ad about it from her mother. She passed the audition despite feeling inadequate in expressing herself better.

After Minase established herself within the industry, she began her music debut in 2015 under King Records. Prior to that, fans were already praising her many character image songs. Her first live tour took place in 4 different cities from June to July 2018.

Over time, she won a number of accolades throughout her career, earning numerous awards and becoming a top contender for popularity polls. She was even nominated best leading actress in the 10th Seiyu Awards. Despite calling herself a late bloomer in the field, Minase has continued to win people over with her efforts. She partially attributes her success in the entertainment industry to her parents who constantly gave their support.

Minase's hobbies include taking walks and shopping. She is a huge Disney fan, often going to Tokyo Disneyland repeatedly and deeming Mickey Mouse her "ideal man". She considers Nana Mizuki to be her inspiration and is quite close with other voice actors such as Ai Kakuma, Ayane Sakura, Minami Takahashi, and Saori Onishi.

Throughout her voice acting career, Minase tends to voice timid or innocent-looking characters. Her convincing performances has earned her numerous accolades and awards. A few of her roles include Ruruka Ando in Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School, Altina Orion in The Legend of Heroes: Trails in Cold Steel II, and Tsubasa Oribe in Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE.
