Inori Minase

Inori Minase is a Japanese voice actress and singer known for major anime roles, character-song work, and a parallel recording career with King Records. Born in Tokyo on December 2, 1995, she entered voice acting as a teenager and became one of the prominent seiyuu of her generation during the 2010s. Her official agency profile lists her as affiliated with Axl One and identifies representative roles across anime, film, games, dubbing, and tokusatsu-related voice work.

Minase made her voice-acting debut in 2010 with Occult Academy and gradually moved from smaller parts into leading and high-profile supporting roles. Early credits included Love Lab, Aldnoah.Zero, Locodol, and Is the Order a Rabbit?, where her role as Chino Kafū became one of her best-known parts. The combination of a soft, precise voice, comic timing, and emotional control helped her become a frequent choice for characters who appear delicate or reserved but carry strong dramatic or comedic presence.

A major turning point came with The Anthem of the Heart, in which Minase voiced Jun Naruse, and School-Live!, in which she voiced Yuki Takeya. In 2016 she won the Best Lead Actress Award at the 10th Seiyu Awards, recognition that marked her arrival as a leading performer rather than simply an emerging voice. Around the same time, she became widely known internationally for voicing Rem in Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World, a role that became one of the franchise's most recognizable characters.

Minase's anime filmography expanded quickly after that. She voiced Hestia in Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, Chino in the continuing Is the Order a Rabbit? franchise, Chito in Girls' Last Tour, Mari Tamaki in A Place Further than the Universe, Itsuki Nakano in The Quintessential Quintuplets, Shoko Makinohara in Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai and related films, Jeanne in The Case Study of Vanitas, Beta in The Eminence in Shadow, and Misaki Sakimiya in Dead Mount Death Play. Her Axl One profile also lists roles in Pretty Cure, Made in Abyss, Somali and the Forest Spirit, Aharen-san wa Hakarenai, and many other television and theatrical projects.
