Sumire Uesaka

Sumire Uesaka (上坂 すみれ, Uesaka Sumire, born December 19, 1991 in Kanagawa) is a freelance Japanese voice actor. She was affiliated with Space Craft Entertainment. She won Best Rookie Actress during the 10th Seiyu Awards.

A self-proclaimed Russophile, Uesaka fell in love with Russian culture after hearing the country's state anthem during her year as a high school freshman. She studied the language immensely in Sophia University and even visited Russia several times for promotional events. Uesaka's fascination earned her the nickname "Sumipe", replacing the standard letter "R" with its Cyrillic counterpart.

Her other interests are photography, lolita fashion, and anything related to the Showa era. She is also a Romance of the Three Kingdoms buff and can speak in Chinese. She also began a singing career under King Records in April 2013.

There was a time when Uesaka suspended her online activities due to being sexually harassed by trolls. The first instance occurred on March 2016 and the second happened on July 21, 2017.

Throughout her career, some of the characters Uesaka has voiced include Jataro Kemuri in Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls, Sanae Dekomori in Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!, Jinx in League of Legends and Saeko Mukouda in Yakuza: Like a Dragon.
