Biography
editFūka Izumi developed an interest in anime at a young age, watching them since her elementary school days. She became interested in becoming a voice actor after watching the Gintama anime television series, having been a fan of Weekly Shōnen Jump and anime adaptations of its manga series.[2] She also cites Miyu Irino's voice acting performance in the anime series Haikyu!! as an inspiration for her interest. She initially had doubts about being able to pursue a voice acting career, thinking it would have been impossible for her to become one, but when she entered junior high school she felt it was what she wanted to pursue.[2] While in high school, she served as the manager of the swimming club despite not being an official member of the club, which led to her describing her participation as being a "ghost club member".[2]
After a period of training at the Japan Narration Actor Institute, Izumi started her career in 2018 and joined the talent agency VIMS.[2][3] She played roles in anime series such as Z/X: Code Reunion, as well as games such as Magia Record and Kemono Friends 3.[3] She also became a member of the voice acting units SHiFT for Z/X and Hanamaru Animal for Kemono Friends.[4][5] Izumi left VIMS in 2022 and joined Amuse Inc. later that year.[6] In 2024, she played the role of Utena Hiiragi in Gushing over Magical Girls and Rin Rindō in Highspeed Etoile.[7][8]
