Biography

[edit]

Anna Yamaki, a native of Tottori Prefecture, was born on 15 October.[1] She studied the piano, played the drums in high school, and played table tennis during her youth.[2]

She started considering a voice acting career as an elementary school student and attended a vocational school as a high school student, before going to attend a university while studying acting at the same time.[2] She subsequently graduated from the Doshisha University Department of Cultural History.[1]

In 2018, Yamaki was cast as Sakuya Shirase, one of the five members of the unit L'Antica, in The Idolmaster Shiny Colors, a spinoff of The Idolmaster franchise.[3] Since then, she has performed in several Idolmaster music releases, including the 2018 single "The Idolmaster Shiny Colors Brilliant Wing 03: Babel City Grace" (which charted at #13 in the Oricon Singles Chart) and the 2022 single "The Idolmaster Shiny Colors Synthe-Side 01" (which charted at #29 in the Oricon Singles Chart).[4][5] She will reprise her role in the 2024 anime adaptation.[6]

In 2019, she starred as Yukio Igarashi in Rifle Is Beautiful, and she performed the anime's opening and ending themes as part of the tie-in musical quartet Rifling 4.[7][8] She starred as Ritapon in Key's 2021 visual novel Loopers.[9]

In August 2022, a Twitter account that appeared to belong to Yamaki, separate from her official one, containing suspicious tweets was discovered.[10] On 30 August, her agency Remax responded to the incident posted a handwritten comment from Yamaki on their website, admitting to and apologizing for these posts.[11] On the 2 September 2022 episode of her Niconico Live show Yamaki Anna no Anna Koto Konna Koto!, Yamaki spent ten minutes on an apology where she had black hair and wore a black suit.[11]

Her hobby is appreciating kofun, temples, shrines, and museums.[1] She is a supporter of the owarai duo Chi-Mon Cho-Chu [ja].[2]
