Biography

Kusunoki became interested in entertainment at an early age; when she was three years old, she began taking piano lessons. She was also a member of her school's brass band during her junior high school years, and a member of a light music club during her high school years.[1] She was also the student council president of her junior high school.[2]

During her second year of junior high school, she became interested in anime. She particularly liked the series Kobato, and the portrayal of the lead character by Kana Hanazawa. This inspired her to become a voice actress.[1] She decided to participate in an audition held by the agency Sony Music Artists. Because she felt that it would be difficult to pass the voice acting audition unless she had more experience, she instead auditioned as a singer. She ended up receiving the special prize at the competition.[1]

Kusunoki made her debut as a voice actress in 2017, playing a background role in the anime series Eromanga Sensei.[3] In June 2017, she was cast in her first main role as Kirara in the mobile game Kirara Fantasia.[4] In 2018, she was cast as Hazuki Kagimura, the protagonist of the anime series Märchen Mädchen.[5] She is currently playing the role of Llenn in the anime series Sword Art Online Alternative Gun Gale Online,[3][6] for which she also sings the ending theme.[7]
