Biography

edit

Yuuki Hirose, a native of Tokyo, was born on 2 April 1993.[2] She is the daughter of actors Masasuke Hirose [ja] and Kiriko Shimizu [ja].[3][4][5] As a young child, she watched her mother work as an actress, and she became interested in a voice acting career after seeing in a cast list that multiple characters were done by the same person.[5] She then started an acting career and appeared in films and educational programming, but she downsized her appearances after graduating from high school.[5]

When AŌP started holding auditions, Hirose's manager, who knew about her favorite anime, recommended the audition to her.[5] She joined AŌP and was their only original member to remain with them by their dissolution in March 2021.[6]

Hirose made her voice acting debut as Ferb Seto in the game Tokyo 7th Sisters.[5] In February 2016, she won the Special Award at the 10th Seiyu Awards as a member of AŌP.[7] In October 2016, it was announced that she would star as Tomoe Akitsuki in Minami Kamakura High School Girls Cycling Club,[8] and she sang the anime's theme song "Jitensha ni Hana wa Mau" as part of AŌP.[9] In 2017, she starred as Mana Midorikawa in Action Heroine Cheer Fruits, Noriko Yamada in Alice & Zoroku, and Kurōmaru Tokisaka in UQ Holder!.[10][11][12] In 2018, she starred as Koharu Hidaka in Hi Score Girl,[13] and in addition to singing the theme song as part of AŌP, she voiced Momomi Wareme in the 2018 anime Cutie Honey Universe.[14]

Hirose left Sun Music Production [ja] to become a freelancer in October 2019 and joined Aoni Production as a junior in April 2020.[15][16] Since then, she has starred as Mimi Usakawa in WIXOSS Diva(A)Live and Byleri in Chillin' in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Powers.[17][18] In June 2022, she debuted as the bass guitarist of Lonesome Blue [ja].[19]
