Early life and career
editYuikawa, a native of Tokyo, was born on 15 February and educated at the Japan Narration Actor Institute.[1] She joined I'm Enterprise on 1 April 2022.[2]
In March 2023, she was cast as Hōjō Tokiyuki, the main protagonist of the anime television series The Elusive Samurai.[3] At the time, she was a newcomer to the agency and did not even have her own image on their website, and she was unaware of her new role until she learned about it in a voice actors' interview project.[4] In August 2023, she appeared at Aniplex Online Fest.[5]
In November 2023, it was announced she would star as Mutsumi Sugimoto in Tonari no Yōkai-san.[6] She later starred in her first cinematic leading role as Yū Azuma in the 2024 film adaptation of Trapezium,[7] and she and the rest of the cast performed the ending theme "Hōi Jishin".[8] Author Kazumi Takayama intuitively noticed Yuikawa from the moment she entered the audition studio, and when she spoke her lines, she was convinced that "Azuma is Yuikawa-san", later recalling that every staff member present had the same belief.[9]
Her hobbies are music and games, and her special skill is futsal.[1] She has a Grade 2 certificate in Kanji Kentei.[1]
