Biography
editMai Kanno, a native of Tokyo, was born on 14 August 1998.[2] Originally a shy child, she joined a children's theater troupe at about five years old when her parents wanted her to become more energetic, and she decided to do voice acting after doing a Disney Channel dub.[3] She left Gekidan Nihon Jidō in 2014[1] due to its age limit, but in high school became part of a "famous drama club that even participated in competitions".[3] While in high school, she voiced the character Ai in I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying.[1] She graduated from Mausu Promotion's training school in 2017 and joined the agency in 2019.[3]
In December 2019, it was announced that Kanno would be voicing Sakura Kawasaki in the Idoly Pride franchise.[4] She reprised her role in the anime and video game,[5][1] and she also performed in several music releases as part of the tie-in unit Hoshimi Production, including the theme song of the same name.[6] Mercedez Clewis said that Kanno's voice acting in the series was of note, saying that "the feelings [the anime] evoked during [her] initial watch this winter still resonate within me [...] in large part, due to the voice actresses, who really bring their a-game".[7]
In 2022, Kanno voiced Surapacchi in My Isekai Life.[8] In December 2023, it was announced she would star as the Redhead in Re:Monster.[9]
Kanno is skilled in flick input and the kalimba.[1] She also practices wool felting as a hobby.[3]
