Sumire Uesaka is a Japanese voice actress, singer, performer, and media personality known for a wide range of anime roles and for a public image that combines otaku culture, music, fashion, and an interest in Russian and Soviet culture. She was born in Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture, on December 19, 1991. Uesaka entered entertainment as a child talent after being scouted when she was young, appearing in commercials before later shifting into voice acting.
Uesaka's transition into voice acting began in the early 2010s. One of her first major roles was Sora Takanashi in Listen to Me, Girls. I Am Your Father!, and she soon became associated with a cluster of anime characters that helped define her early career. She voiced Sanae Dekomori in Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions, Nonna in Girls und Panzer, and characters in series such as Kokoro Connect, GJ Club, Outbreak Company, Cross Ange, Hozuki's Coolheadedness, and Kantai Collection. Her performances often use a bright, distinctive comic energy, but she has also played cool, stern, eccentric, or theatrical characters.
In 2016, Uesaka won Best Rookie Actress at the 10th Seiyu Awards, confirming her rise within the voice-acting industry. By then she had also begun a parallel music career. Her debut as a recording artist came in 2013 under King Records' King Amusement Creative label, and her music has been tied closely to anime, live performance, and fan culture. Like many Japanese voice actors of her generation, she built a career that moves between character performance, concerts, radio, events, and recorded music rather than separating acting and singing into completely different paths.

Uesaka studied at Sophia University and has been publicly associated with Russian studies and interest in Russian culture. That interest became one of the recognizable parts of her public persona, alongside her enthusiasm for lolita fashion and subcultural aesthetics. She has modeled for fashion brands and appeared in publications and events connected to lolita fashion, giving her career a visual identity beyond her voice roles.
Her later anime credits include roles in major or widely circulated series such as Overlord, BanG Dream!, Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro, The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You, Spy Classroom, Tearmoon Empire, Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Freedom, Kinnikuman Perfect Origin Arc, Grendizer U, and many others. TMDb's credit listings also show continuing work into the mid-2020s, including Patlabor EZY, Agents of the Four Seasons Dance of Spring, and multiple television and film voice credits.
Uesaka has also made unusual moves outside conventional voice-actor activity. Public listings note a professional wrestling appearance in 2025 and connections to DDT Pro-Wrestling's Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship, a title known for comic and unconventional changes of possession. That episode fits the broader pattern of a performer comfortable with playful crossover between anime fandom, music, events, fashion, and performance spectacle.
As a voice actress, Uesaka is best understood as part of the multimedia seiyu model: she is not only a performer behind animated characters but also a singer, event personality, fashion figure, and fan-culture presence. Her career has been built through high-volume anime work, recognizable character voices, and a cultivated public persona that makes her stand out in a crowded field of Japanese voice performers.
