Biography
Takahashi was born in Kanagawa Prefecture on September 9, 1994.[1][3][4] She had been interested in songs used in anime since the age of four, when under the influence of her grandfather, she would listen to music from Inuyasha and Cardcaptor Sakura. While in elementary school, she wanted to become a lawyer as she had become fond of watching crime drama series on television, but later on decided to pursue an entertainment-related career instead.[2] When she was 17, she participated in a voice acting audition held by the media company Pony Canyon; she would become the audition's winner, beating numerous other participants.[4]
Takahashi's first activity as an entertainer was the release of the song "Kimi to Futari" (君と二人), which she performed together with fellow newcomer Yurika Endō as the duo Yuri*Kari; the song was used as the ending theme to the 2013 anime television series The Severing Crime Edge.[5] That same year, she made her voice acting debut as the character Yui Natsukawa in the anime series Ace of Diamond.[2][6]
In 2017, Takahashi announced that she had graduated from Rikkyo University.[7] That same year, she was cast as Nono Morikubo in The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls.[6] She was also cast as the character Haru Soramachi in the mobile game Between the Sky and Sea, where she, Honoka Inoue, and Momoko Suzuki would perform the game's theme song "Sora to Umi no Aida" (ソラとウミのアイダ).[8] In 2018, she was cast as Sasame Mitsukuri in Ongaku Shōjo,[9] and she would reprise the role of Haru for the anime television series adaptation of Between the Sky and Sea.[8][10]
