So far in 2024, Japanese fans are quite
surprised with the number of roles that voice actress Akari Kitou has
accumulated in the anime industry. In just five months, Ella Kitou has
participated in an impressive total of fifteen productions , a
number that easily exceeds what many other seiyus achieve in an entire year.
Born on October 16, 1994 in Aichi Prefecture, Japan,
Akari Kitou began her career in voice acting in 2014. Since then, she
has built a remarkable career that has earned her recognition and admiration
both in Japan and internationally.
Among her best-known roles, her interpretation
of Nezuko Kamado in “Kimetsu no Yaiba” stands out, one of the
most popular anime of the last decade (although it was not until recently that
she really began to present dialogues with this character). Another iconic
character played by Kitou is Kanata Konoe in “ Love Live! “Nijigasaki
High School Idol Club .” Her role as the cheerful and positive idol
captured the hearts of many fans of the “Love Live!” franchise, further
cementing her position in the industry.
In 2024, in addition to these already emblematic
roles, Akari Kitou has expanded her portfolio with various characters
in new animes . This diversity and her ability to adapt to different
types of characters are testaments to her versatility and talent as a voice
actress.
