Biography

Takayanagi was born in Chiba Prefecture on October 14, 1994.[1] [2] As a child, she was interested in dancing and listening to the radio. She first became interested in voice acting after hearing Sayaka Ohara on a program on the radio station Bay FM. At the time, she thought that Ohara was merely a radio host and did not learn that she was a voice actress until later.[3]

Upon entering junior high school, Takayanagi gained an interest in anime, which was furthered upon learning that Ohara played roles in series such as Honey and Clover, Code Geass, and XxxHolic. Her interest was also strengthened by her frequent use of the website Niconico, which was gaining popularity at the time. By the end of her first year in junior high school, she had decided to pursue a career in voice acting.[3]

Although Takayanagi wished to pursue a voice acting career early on, she instead decided to focus on her studies due to the lack of a drama club in her school.[3] During her first year of college, she enrolled in a training school operated by the talent agency Pro-Fit. While undergoing training, she played her first roles in the anime series In Search of the Lost Future and Nobunaga Concerto.[3] In 2015, she formally joined Pro-Fit as a talent.[4]

In 2017, Takayanagi played the role of Rino Fujisaki in Hina Logi: From Luck & Logic.[5] The following year, she played the roles of Oguri Cap in Uma Musume Pretty Derby and An Hatoma in Island.[6] [7] In 2019, she played the roles of Mikan Hinatsuki in The Demon Girl Next Door and Akari Haeno in .[8] [9] In 2020, she was cast as Mira Konohata, the protagonist of the anime series Asteroid in Love.[10]
