Omi Minami

Omi Minami (南 央美, Minami Omi, born July 13, 1968 in Tokyo) is a Japanese voice actor affiliated with PomaRancz. She used to be represented by Arts Vision, Production Baobab, and Office Osawa. A graduate of Chuo University's law department, she is married to voice actor Yuji Ueda.

In her youth, Minami attended Japan Action Club during high school, having been motivated by her desire to perform in a Super Sentai show. Unfortunately, she lacked the strength to perform stunts which left her injured at one point. All seemed lost until an acquaintance told her to try voice acting which did not take much physical strain. Willing to do something different, she enrolled in Katsuta Voice Actor's Academy as one of their first students and later Japan Narration Actor Institute.

As Minami gained more experience in her chosen profession, she eventually became the director for a voice actor school called Studio Nyokki in 2014. She also wrote snippets of her life in the magazine Manga Life MOMO from 2012 to 2019. Her hobbies are drawing illustrations, going to aquariums, and practicing tai chi. She is also a hypnotherapy counselor.

Hailed as the Junji Inagawa of the voice acting world, Minami's work motto is to convey the feelings of every character she plays and appreciate them together with the audience. While known more for her innocent female roles, she is just as capable of voicing young male characters. Some of her more memorable performances are of Majic Lin in Sorcerous Stabber Orphen, Meredy in Tales of Eternia, and Euphemia li Britannia in Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion.
