Rie Takahashi

Rie Takahashi is a Japanese voice actress and singer known for leading roles across anime, games, and character-song projects. Born on February 27, 1994, in Saitama Prefecture, Japan, she became interested in voice acting as a student and trained through 81 Produce's actor program before joining the agency in the early 2010s. Her early work included supporting and background roles in television anime before she moved quickly into principal parts.

Takahashi's breakthrough came in the mid-2010s. She played Futaba Ichinose in Seiyu's Life!, a series centered on young voice actors, and became part of the related musical unit Earphones with Marika Kouno and Yuki Nagaku. Around the same period she gained wider attention as Megumin in KonoSuba, Emilia in Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-, Mirai Asahina/Cure Miracle in Witchy Pretty Cure!, and Mash Kyrielight in the Fate/Grand Order franchise. These roles established her as a prominent performer in fantasy, comedy, and game-adaptation anime.

Her later work includes Takagi in Teasing Master Takagi-san, Sumi Sakurasawa in Rent-A-Girlfriend, Tomo Aizawa in Tomo-chan Is a Girl!, Ai Hoshino in Oshi no Ko, and Yuzuriha in Hell's Paradise. She has also continued to appear in film and television projects connected to Re:ZERO, KonoSuba, Fate/Grand Order, Pretty Cure, and other franchises. Public credit listings show an extensive and continuing voice-acting filmography, including roles in animated series and features released through the 2020s.
