Sayaka Senbongi

Sayaka Senbongi (千本木 彩花, Senbongi Sayaka, born November 24, 1995 in Saitama) is a Japanese voice actor affiliated with I'm Enterprise. Having joined the voice over business since 2013, she is referred to by fans as Bon-chan. She is married to fellow voice actor Tasuku Hatanaka, having announced her marriage to him on December 29, 2019.

Senbongi's interest in voice acting stemmed from watching anime shows like Neon Genesis Evangelion and K-On!. Amazed by the performances in those works, she hoped to one day do the same by joining Japan Narration Actor Institute during her second year of high school. She diligently balanced both classes and normal school, eventually making her debut before graduating.

When Senbongi had auditioned for a minor role in Girlish Number, she unexpectedly got picked to voice the protagonist instead much to her surprise. Out of all the hundreds of girls who actually competed for the main role, the director Shota Ibata chose Senbongi due to her distinct acting which stood out among the rest. Needless to say, this event would bring her to stardom. 2017 later saw her win the Best Rookie Actress Award during the 11th Seiyu Awards.

Senbongi has a variety of interests that include singing, drawing, video games, manga, and pantomime. She used to play the clarinet in school and currently dabbles in light novel writing.

Having done a number of roles so far, Senbongi is best known for voicing memorable characters like Haru in Beastars, Sarasa Watanabe in Kageki Shojo!!, and Saeko Zokumyoin in Battle Game in 5 Seconds.
