Biography

Kawase was born in Chiba Prefecture on December 31, 1995.[1][2] From her elementary school years, she had an interest in manga, which was influenced by her frequent visits to her aunt's house.[3] She first discovered the voice acting profession after learning that a manga that she was reading was receiving an anime adaptation. During her second year in high school, her friends invited her to an event that had a voice actor as a guest speaker. At the time, she was more interested in the work being promoted itself than the guest, but after seeing the guest speak lines, she was impressed to the point of already looking for a voice acting training center after the even finished.[3]

During her third year of high school, Makise enrolled at the Japan Narration Acting Institute, a school she chose because classes were held once a week and high school students were allowed to attend. She also worked part-time in order to pay for the tuition. During her studies, she was surprised to learn that voice actors were expected to learn how to sing and dance as well. After finishing her training program, she became affiliated with the talent agency Arts Vision after passing an audition.[3] Her first voice acting role was in a mobile game, while her first main role was as the character Elle Hoshino in the 2018 anime television series Dragon Pilot: Hisone and Masotan.[3][4] Later in 2018, she was cast in the role of Junko Konno in the anime series Zombie Land Saga.[5]

In 2019, she played the role of Yakumo Saotome in the anime series Val × Love.[6] In 2020, she provided the voice of Yuna, the protagonist of the anime series Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear,[7] where she also performs the ending theme "Ano ne." (あのね。).[8]
